South Chicago has one of the longest standing Mexican-American communities in Chicago. Every year on a Sunday in September, before or on the 16th,, Commercial Ave. is alive with Mexican festivities. Folkloric dancers spin in circles of vibrant colors as “Los Charros” or “Mexican Rodeo Cowboys” do rope tricks and throw candies to little children dressed in native wear.

Roshini is a very healthy child now. Her anganwadi or play school is very close to her house and she benefits a lot from nutritious meals and colourful playthings. Her mom Sujatha is now well equipped to take good care of her. Through world vision India’s HEARTH program she learnt how to make low cost yet nutritious food. What more she trains other women in her community to make nutritious food from cheap ingredients like drum stick leaves, spinach, grated carrots and beet roots. They also have a 5 year old son Paven Kumar who loves drawing, he proudly shows off his elaborate art work in the walls of his house. Penta Rao now has a vision for his family and his community- “My vision is that every one works in unity for community development. All the children must be educated, they should not realize what I realized when it is too late.”
25 years ago Penta Rao’s parents came from Orissa to an urban slum in Vizak in the hope of finding greener pastures. Like Penta Rao they too were daily wage labourers, and there is not much difference economically in the two generations. But there is a significant change of attitude and mindset. Penta Rao who has only studied till the 9th standard says, “I will make sure my children study till whatever level they want to study.” Penta Rao worked as a mason for INR 14 a day since his 9th standard. “I am ashamed to say that I am only a 9th pass, and I regret how my youth was filled with hard work” he says.
Penta rao has witnessed the transformation of his community since world vision India’s arrival 10 years ago. Their community was largely water logged with affluents from nearby factories stagnant in various parts of their colony. There were no taps and only one private borewell from which they had to borrow water. Penta rao says, “World vision constructed a drainage system and used land fill to stop water from stagnating.” About a 100 families have benefitted over the years from this. There is also a sophisticated ‘Reverse Osmosis system’ in place to provide the community with clean drinking water. The children are the biggest beneficiaries as the cases of water borne diseases have greatly dwindled over the year. “Since there are no mosquitos breeding in stagnant waters, my children can sleep in peace,” says a very thankful Penta Rao. But the biggest transformation has been within many of the families. The Vishakapatnam Area Development program works to improve the quality of life of 44 communities of Visakhapatnam towards self-reliance and sustainable development through education, good health and economic development initiatives.

Sisson-South Whitney Historic District
Hartford, Connecticut
Listed 07/24/2013
Reference Number: 13000526
The Sisson-South Whitney Historic District is historically and architecturally significant as an example of mid-nineteenth- to early twentieth-century residential and neighborhood commercial development (Criterion A). The district is located along the western edge of the City of Hartford, an area that remained essentially rural as late as the early 1880s, yet felt the increasing pressure of suburban expansion between 1890 and 1930. The development of the Sisson-South Whitney Historic District is typical of Hartford's suburbs and is demonstrative of the effects of population increases and sprawl that followed economic growth and the build up of the city's central neighborhoods during the late nineteenth century. As such, the district is significant as an example of one of Hartford's working- and middle-class streetcar suburbs. Of particular importance is the developmental transition that redefined the character of the neighborhood during the 1910s and 1920s, thus making it architecturally and demographically unique from the historic districts that surround it. Initially marketed and developed as scenic enclave for Hartford's upper-middle class, the increased mobility provided by Hartford's trolley system meant that those of more modest means could also afford to live in this part of one of the city's premier neighborhoods. As such, the proposed district saw the increased construction of housing and businesses oriented towards the needs of the working and middle classes. The district is a highly intact, architecturally cohesive neighborhood of single- and multi-family homes, small apartment buildings, as well as commercial blocks, that reflect the significant residential architectural styles of the midnineteenth to early twentieth century (Criterion C). Italianate, Late-Gothic Revival, Folk Victorian, Queen Anne, Shingle, Colonial Revival, Neoclassical Revival, Beaux Arts, Italian Renaissance Revival, and modem vernacular forms, can be found, many being demonstrative of the frequency with which designers combined a number of influences to create eclectically-styled homes. A number of local builders and prominent architects designed and constructed homes in the district, contributing further to the significance of this historic neighborhood.

Nações Unidas, Praia, 17 de Outubro - O Dia Internacional para a Erradicação da Pobreza, foi assinalado, de entre outras actividades com a realização de Jornada de Intercâmbio Jornada de Intercâmbio da Ilha de Santiago sob o lema "Da Pobreza à Sustentabilidade: As pessoas no centro do desenvolvimento inclusivo"
Na ocasião, em representação do PNUD em Cabo, Heloisa Marone, Economista Sénior dessa organização, ressaltou o progresso muito positivo verificado na redução da pobreza o que facilitará a Cabo Verde atingir a meta do 1º Objectivo de Desenvolvimento do Milénio antes de 2015, considerando que para avançar na luta contra a pobreza de forma efectiva e duradoura, Cabo Verde deverá continuar a buscar novas formas de crescimento mais equilibradas, que deverá integrar a área rural na economia nacional. Por essa razão, Heloisa Marone assegurou que as Nações Unidas estão comprometidas a continuar a trabalhar junto ao governo de Cabo Verde para buscar soluções que lidem directamente com estas assimetrias económicas e sociais para que todo o povo de Cabo Verde possa usufruir de forma conjunta, harmónica e pacífica os frutos do progresso alcançados desde a independência nacional.
Ao presidir o acto a Ministra da Juventude, Emprego e Desenvolvimento dos Recursos Humanos, Janira Hopffer Almada, destacou a importância deste programa na diminuição do número de pobres em Cabo Verde e enfatizou a transversalidade do programa Nacional de Luta Contra a Pobreza nas políticas do governo e a necessidade de continuar a reduzir a pobreza de forma durável e sustentável. "Os dados indicam um salto qualitativo na redução da pobreza com a mudança na implementação dos princípios do PNLP a favor da promoção do empreendedorismo social e as actividades geradoras de rendimento", frisou a ministra.
Ao referir-se aos resultados do PNLP, o Coordenador Executivo, Ramiro Azevedo, considerou positivo o balanço da execução dos sucessivos programas de luta contra a pobreza, conforme atestam os resultados e os impactos dos mesmos na qualidade de vida das populações beneficiárias. O Coordenador apontou alguns factores determinantes da pobreza ainda por resolver em Cabo Verde: "uma base produtiva nacional pouco diversificada, elevados custos de bens e serviços, baixos níveis de empregabilidade, taxa de desemprego ainda elevada, acentuadas assimetrias no desenvolvimento regional, e desempenho do sector agro-pecuário ainda incipiente".
Durante a Jornada foram assinados contratos num valor de 34 milhões de escudos para apoio a organizações de micro-finanças, nomeadamente AMUSA, UNSOCOR-Coop, OMCV, Morabi, Citi-Habitat e Fami-Picos, assim como um Protocolo com a Direcção Geral dos Serviços Penitenciários e Reinserçaõs Social, e os contratos do gestor, contabilista e animador da CRP de Santiago Centro.
O Programa de Luta contra a Pobreza no Meio Rural (PLPR), inserido no PNLP, teve o seu arranque no ano 2000 para uma duração estimada de 9 anos e iniciou a sua actividade nas ilhas de Santiago (S. Miguel e Tarrafal), Fogo, Brava, S. Nicolau e Santo Antão e hoje estendeu-se a Santiago Sul, Santiago Centro, Maio e S.Vicente. As actividades do PLPR têm uma abordagem participativa e assentam nas Associações Comunitárias de Desenvolvimento (ACD) que, nas respectivas comunidades, desencadeiam de forma participativa todo o processo de identificação, elaboração e seguimento-avaliação dos planos anuais de trabalho e respectivo orçamento.
