Haiti in our Hearts |
|
The road to recovery may be a long one for the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Even after the aftershocks, the people of Haiti still remain hopeful, keeping true to their national motto : L'Union Fait La Force - Unity is Strength. While it is extremely important for our global community to provide urgent assistance, it is also necessary to acknowledge how the history of Haiti has led to the current situation. Learn more about this issue; join discussions, inform yourself through our Panorama magazine or blog about it on our Haiti 2010 blog. |

Youth for Change |
|
Youth in the Arab World are considered the largest age group among the Arab population, yet they often lack support for social action and expression. TakingITGlobal's Youth for Change program is working to support young social entrepreneurs, foster a global youth culture of peace and understanding, and encourage Arab youth to be agents of change in their communities. |
