Edward "Ned" Breslin lived in Africa long enough to see NGOs come and go. What he has learned seeing and experiencing lack of safe drinking water is that digging and putting up handpumps are not enough. Rather than taking it as the final stage of a project, organizations should start seeing it as only the culmination of transforming lives. In 2009, he became the CEO of Water For People and championed the creation of a mobile application called Field Level Operations Watch or FLOW. It enables remote monitoring of handpumps and water systems in Africa.

But a young girl born in Africa today will probably have access in 10 years' time to a cell phone with a high-resolution screen, a web connection, and more power than the computer you own today. We can imagine her obtaining face-to-face insight and encouragement from her choice of the world's great teachers. She will get a chance to be what she can be. And she might just end up being the person who saves the planet for our grandchildren.

The report shows that mobile technology is becoming the most desirable means of communication -- especially in poor countries. The numbers show dramatic growth: By the end of 2008, there were an estimated 4.1 billion subscriptions globally, compared with roughly 1 billion in 2002, according to the International Telecommunication Union, one of the specialized agencies of the United Nations. The study also looked at the Internet, and found that worldwide, usage has more than doubled: Approximately 23 percent of the population uses the Internet, up from 11 percent in 2002. Still, poor countries are far less likely to surf the Net. For example, only 1 in 20 people in Africa went online in 2007.

Alexander McLean has so much compassion for the suffering inmates of Africa that he has dedicated most of his life to caring for them and personally making sure that their needs are well-provided for. He founded the African Prisoners Project or APP when he was only 18 years old back in 2004 after witnessing a shackled inmate in a hospital lying in his own waste. The suffering is already more than enough. Depriving them of their basic right to life is something he couldn't just look away from. To read more about Alexander McLean visit www.thextraordinary.org

Joyce Hilda Ntila Banda is the first female president of Malawi and the whole of South Africa. She endured 10 years living with an abusive husband. Unlike most Malawian women, Joyce braved to raise her three children by herself. Eventually, she became a successful businesswoman. The National Association of Business Women was founded to provide Malawians the capital they need to put up their own business in the hope of making them less dependent on their husbands. After nine years, she established the Joyce Banda Foundation to help impoverished children get proper education.

With a dwindling population and an out of control HIV infection rate in Russia, the future looks bleak. Estimates place Russia on the forefront of the battle against HIV and in a worse position than Africa. Largely ignored by the media and the government, HIV has become the rapidly spreading epidemic in Russia, especially among the youth who are supposed to be future of the country.

Another reason some students are applying to MIT. Undergrads are making a difference globally. "the innovative MIT classes and field trips known collectively as D-Lab, the project aimed to develop creative solutions to problems facing people in the world's least-affluent countries - and then hoped those residents would embrace the solutions." "The program now employs about 20 people and encompasses 16 courses that reach about 400 students each year. Even though D-Lab does little to publicize its activities, staffers are increasingly hearing that this program was a major reason why participating students chose to attend MIT." "All of D-Lab's classes assess the needs of people in less-privileged communities around the world, examining innovations in technology, education or communications that might address those needs. The classes then seek ways to spread word of these solutions - and in some cases, to spur the creation of organizations to help disseminate them. Specific projects have focused on improved wheelchairs and prosthetics; water and sanitation systems; and recycling waste to produce useful products, including charcoal fuel made from agricultural waste."

Congo: Red Rubber, White King, Black Death is a critical film and documentary on the reign of King Leopold of Belgium over his private property we now know as the country of Congo. The film graphically illustrates the atrocities that occurred, the injustices, the evils and the popular lies that people hold to be true. Below is a quick summary of the film and a few notes on what seemed interesting to me.
