War Effect 101: Buying Back the Bombs & Redeeming the Future

Posted July 30, 2012 By Elisa

The Ah-ha Moments of Awareness It is not uncommon to be unaware: What? Mitt Romney is actually the official 2012 Republican presidential candidate? I thought he was just, well, busy.

Posted July 18, 2012 By Elisa

I like to remember days which bring awareness to a specific cause, like Malaria Day orAIDS Day. Even when we want to forget, we often remember those very bad days. A healthy things to remember is [… Read More]

Art of Advocacy: Supporting the Causes of Others to be World Changers

Posted November 22, 2011 By Elisa

Moving Beyond Expectations When I talk about sports, I sound like an idiot. I choose teams based on the colors I like, unless I have some sort of vague attachment to a team, like through extended family. Or that I lived in Spain. So, by plain luck, in the past twelve months my teams have [… Read More]

Hunger Sucks: Understanding The Importance of Food in Developing Nations

Posted July 21, 2011 By Elisa

Today I took a woman out to coffee. This was actually the second time I went out the coffee that day, coffee and breakfast with my dad. In the morning we were musing about how we just can’t give to everything, while considering the oh-so-horrible famine in the Horn of Africa this year. Isn’t there [… Read More]

Delicious Water: Charities

Posted October 14, 2010 By Elisa

These charities have very effective, considerate, and sustainable practices. Which means giving to them does not just throw money down a bottomless well by building these wells. These wells actually transform communities and save lives. They are magic wells.
