How To Create an Environment of Investment – Or How Humanitarian Projects Could Save The Day
Sometimes, when surviving through an economic depression, especially like the last one, which had world-wide coverage and effect, the only way to get going at full speed again is by applying a massive kick-start.
Create an Environment of Investment.
Most noble comment. But which Government has the will, or the financial clout (especially after a series of such dramatic natural disasters) to start or jerk this fragile recovery into action?
Perhaps no ‘standard’ government has the financial clout any more. But what about an association of First Nations people?
More about that later; let’s look at what is happening in the world, and issues that need addressing as rapidly as possible.
Those that spring most readily to mind are Global Warming, and our seemingly unswerving dependence on rapidly-dwindling fossil fuels, followed by a world-wide concern over poverty and health issues. Read the rest of this entry »

Crisis in Kyrgyzstan – What Does This Humanitarian Disaster Mean For the USA
It is often amazing how events around the globe affect us here at home. Sometimes it pays to do nothing, and at other times we cannot turn a blind’s eye. How we handle such affairs says a lot about who we are, what we stand for, and our primary focus and objectives in those areas of the world; the US cannot be all things to all people. Sometimes it may seem cruel to do nothing, but often that is the best course of action, even if it hurts our hearts to watch things unfold.
The Kyrgyzstan Revolution and civil unrest is half a world away, but it still affects us here in the United States. Not long ago, I was discussing this Geo-Political issue with a post cold war scholar on Russian-US Relations, and I asked Mr. Jesse Giraldo point blank; What do you think about the latest challenges in Kyrgyzstan, that does throw a loop in the fire? Here is his reply;
Where to start. Well It’s certainly made things quite a bit more complicated. Kyrgyzstan has been the geopolitical battleground for competing military intrests between the U.S and the Russians since the 90′s. Kyrgyzstan has been politically unstable since the tulip revolt but now things have descended from bad to worse.

College Students Work As Humanitarians in Relief Missions
Many college students volunteer to work in a third world country helping others while they are in college. Helping others is a great way to earn credits while building up a great resume after you graduate from college. You should try to do projects that are in line with your major in college. You will find that doing international public service is very rewarding as well as beneficial to your own character.
You find that many times the people that you meet and work with in third world countries have a beautiful insight to life that will help you to become a better person just by knowing and working with them. You should try to do something that is constructive in your projects. You could devise a water purification system for instance if you are studying environmental engineering. This will help a remote village plagued by contaminated water while helping you earn your degree. Perhaps you are working with computers and network systems then use your knowledge to help others set up a computer lab gaining access to the outside world. You will find that countries like Africa, South America or rural Asia would be very happy to have you come and help them gain access to others by the use of a computer. Read the rest of this entry »
