Corpus Christi Elementrary students meet the king
BY KATE R. By the end of the first week of school, Mrs. Westwick's Grade 6 students were used to trooping over to Mrs. O'Regan's class for an "all grade six discussion." Mrs. Westwick's class had also realized that when we were called in, it was for something important. So, sometime in the second week of November when Mrs. W's students were invited back to my Grade 6 class, we knew something was up. (Full Article)

Herbert points to the Lesotho people’s strong faith, especially among the children, as a catalyst for change. "The children have a faith that is really quite remarkable," she said. "Sometimes that is all they have. The amount of death is beyond my capacity to express, but the faith of the Lesotho is very inspiring." (Full

Thinking Globally in Ottawa
by Kate Heartfield
The Ottawa Citizen, July 3, 2007
People
who live in Ottawa -- or any capital -- get used to the idea that
projects fail. The bigger the project, the bigger the failure. Best not
to try. It's a don't-stick-your-neck-out kind of town. This is my
explanation for the cynicism about global poverty I encounter in
Ottawa. There is a big group of development enthusiasts here, of
course, and Ottawa has its share of earnest students. But there's a
wide gap between those people and the others, the Ottawans who adopt
the view that it's too hard or too depressing to help people in other
countries -- or that it's not possible anyway.

Orphans of Africa's AIDS
Epidemic: A first hand account
by Leslie Power
The Journal (The Student Newspaper

Lesotho is projected to have the highest increase in AIDS
orphans in Africa over the next four years! That number is so
large, I cannot fathom the implications. Lesotho is a small
mountain kingdom of two million people with few resources to
address the ravages of poverty and HIV/AIDS. Lesotho, landlocked
within South Africa, has the world’s third highest incidence of
HIV/AIDS. Incidence rates range from 25 percent to a devastating
55 percent in the mountain regions.

Ordinary Heroes: Expedition Africa, Chapter 20:

Over the course of this expedition through Africa I've been
lucky enough to meet some extraordinary people. People who have
chosen to make a difference on this continent in the lives of
those less fortunate than themselves. People who have decided
that their lives would become enriched through aiding the poor,
their souls become healthier from tending the sick or
enlightened by educating the darkness that comes from ignorance.
Many of these people I'm proud to say are Canadian drawn to
Africa by the call to help.
The need to help tugging at them like earth's gravitational

went to Lesotho, Africa, in July on a fact-finding mission for
the local Rotary club. She linked with government and
non-government organizations there to learn how the Guelph club
could help the hundreds of thousands of children in that country
orphaned by AIDS. She said it was "haunting" to enter villages
where there were no adults aged 35 to 50.
The disease is
epidemic, McAuley said, killing off parents in that age group,
leaving siblings and grandmothers to raise the orphaned
