Mr Obama--Please remember your promises to increase world debt reduction and help end global poverty. Thank you!

Over the course of 4 days, May 15-18, volunteers from Qualcomm, local residents, business owners, and artists will converge in the alleyways to take part in their transformation by painting murals, installing signage, marking pathways, installing lights, weeding and planting, and a variety of other designs as determined by the community. This event will culminate into a series of block parties in each project location, featuring music, food, and guest speakers.
ICROSS, with funding from the Global Fund, has a home based care programme where 170 volunteers care for terminally ill aids patients. ICROSS is in charge of the training of the community health workers (CHVs) and distribution of prophylaxis and nutritional supplements among other things. We quickly realised the stigma and discrimination our volunteers met, both external and internal. After close dialogue with a number of volunteers, a comprehensive stigma and discrimination workshop was tailored. The workshop was incorporated into a refresher course for our CHVs on home based care.

'El señor de el autobus se llama Marino, gran amigo mío desde hace muchos años. Es de Chinacota y viaja a Pamplona todos los días por una de las vías alternas de ese pueblo y sale a El Diamante.
Marino, viene a buscar mercancía a Pamplona, verduras, víveres, etc. Por tanto sube vacío. Hablé con él para que lleve migrantes a diario por un precio de pasaje accesible (3mil pesos) desde nuestro Punto de Apoyo, por cada persona adulta, los niños no pagan. La organización On The Ground International, paga los pasajes diariamente. Las autoridades de transito están al tanto de la situación; yo mismo les comuniqué. El señor Marino pasa a las dos de la tarde todos los días, así a los migrantes les da tiempo de chequearse en la Cruz Roja, reciben atención médica, kit de aseo personal, descansan, comen, se les curan los pies y se atiende a la poblacion migrante lo mejor q podemos.
Normalmente el lleva a madres, padres e hijos, el nucleo familiar.
Cuando hay mucha gente hombres solos, selecciono dos de cada grupo junto con todos los bolsos y coches que tengan cada grupo para ser trasladados en el bus y así subir a Pamplona no se les hace tan difícil'.- Ronald.

Through a community health worker training, 20 women from each of the five communities were identified tounder go TBA training. These women would attend two one-week seminars facilitated by ministry of health workers. The women were taught the essentials of neonatal and maternal health, how to recognise abnormal symptoms and when to refer pregnant women to maternal health clinics. Moreover, the women would learn how to deliver, although home deliveries are not encouraged, they become equipped to deal with emergency deliveries. TBA kits were provided by ICROSS Ireland and contain all the necessary tools to assist a delivery. This project trained 100 TBAs in five communities. Throughout the project, ICROSS worked closely with district health officers who drew from local expertise and taught using a culturally appropriate birth attendant curriculum.

Ilkilorit - here children are collecting cowdoung for Biogas installation.
New World International is partnering with Dominic to develop proposals that would see Flexi Biogas devices installed in our clinics to power refrigerators, used to store volatile vaccinations. Due to the remoteness of some clinics, power failures (typically gas bottles running out) consequently leave communities without vaccinations for several months. Since these communities would be able to produce Flexi Biogas independently, this would no longer be a problem.
The first installment/pilot has been at Ilkilorit high school, where ICROSS have just opened a new health clinic serving the surrounding Maasai communities. The teachers at the school now use their Biogas up to 5 times a day to cook and make tea and are delighted with how easy it is to use. They no longer have any need for charcoal or their old charcoal Jiko (charcoal burning stove) and the schoolchildren are happy to bring the required bucket of dung each day for their teachers.

Several weeks ago Brian Williams profiled the children of the Afghan Child Education and Care Organization (AFCECO) and its founder Andeisha Farid in Kabul, Afghanistan for NBC Nightly News’ segment Making a Difference (video).
NBC listeners responded very generously by sending contributions over the Internet. The bridge used to connect these children with child sponsors was CharityHelp International (CHI), which I profiled in the Huffington Post last spring.
I was so excited to see Andeisha and her kids featured by Brian, and receiving desperately needed funds through CharityHelp, that I interviewed Brian about this last week in HuffPo.

Celebrating our amazing EOP Class of 2023! We take great pride in recognizing the remarkable journeys of our exceptional students. Did you know that some of our brightest minds began their CSUN adventure as special admits? EOP leaders saw their immense potential beyond high school grades and with mentoring and support these individuals blossomed into successful college graduates!
Let's also take a moment to honor and celebrate those who were part of our EOP Resilient Scholars Program, designed to provide unwavering support to former foster youth throughout their academic pursuit. These resilient individuals have proven time and again that they are true overachievers, surpassing all expectations along their journey.
As we bid farewell to the EOP Class of 2023, we couldn't be prouder of their remarkable accomplishments and unwavering determination.
Food donated to malnourished children.

The system we have installed in Ilkilorit comprises a heavy duty rubber bag as the digester. It sits mostly above ground and uses PVC pipes for inputs and outputs. Plastic gas pipes tap the gas from the digester and transfer it to the point of use. Early research has shown the waste from one cow (10-15kg per day) is enough to sustain a household of 4 people, meeting their domestic fuel needs for cooking. It is also possible to run a converted generator off the gas that can make electricity to power homes, schools and shops, or recharge batteries.

The program is a fun education-focused game for Grace.
EECS 481 Students in EECS Professor David Chesney's course have been designing systems to make it easier for Grace Simon to communicate, play, or be more independent at school or home.
Simon was diagnosed with cerebal palsy at six months old. While Grace doesn't have the muscle control to speak, extensively sign, or walk, she has a very capable mind that can read and communicate by signaling 'yes' or 'no.'

March marks the anniversary of the passing of beloved EOP Director, José Luis Vargas. Three years after his passing, he continues to be missed and remembered by the CSUN EOP community.
Mr. Vargas led EOP with passion, conviction, and professionalism. He mentored thousands of students and uplifted them to believe in themselves and succeed in higher education. The program's mission will continue through the dedication and hard work of its leaders, staff, and most of all our EOP students.
