Marcia Erickson and her husband Sefinew Birhan Mengistu, and co-founders/co-directors Deanne and Andrew Knife of Grace Center Foundation, work together to serve the poorest of the poor in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. They created the nation's first emergency number in the entire country and it is focused on preventing child abandonment and abortion. The center helps families stay together and provide solutions like day care for women who might otherwise feel forced to abandon their children, serving an estimated 2600 women and children on a quarterly basis. Watch now to learn first-hand how even in a region riven with discord, pro-lifers with a heart for Christ can make a difference and build a culture of life.

Land ist eine kostbare Ressource und häufig Ursache für Konflikte, Menschenrechtsverletzungen und Kriege. Den gleichberechtigten Zugang zur Nutzung und die Sicherung von Landrechten für eine globale nachhaltige Entwicklung hat die Weltgemeinschaft in den Entwicklungszielen verankert. Geregelte Landrechte sind wesentlich damit insbesondere Kleinerzeuger/Innen mehr Einkommen und Produktivität aus der Landwirtschaft beziehen können und damit auch die nachhaltigen Ernährungssysteme sichern, sowie für die Resilienz gegenüber der Klimakrise. Der gleichberechtigte Besitz und die Kontrolle über Land sind für Frauen besonders wichtig, denn sie sind durch patriarchale Strukturen in der Familie aber auch in der Landadministration am meisten von ungeregelten Landrechten betroffen. Weiters kann durch klare gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen Landraub eingedämmt und Spekulation und Korruption geahndet werden, um gravierende Folgen wie beispielsweise Menschenrechtsverletzungen zu verhindern Im äthiopisch-österreichischen APPEAR-Projekt Edu4GEO2, gefördert aus Mitteln der OEZA und vom OeAD implementiert, ist ein Team von Forschenden seit vielen Jahren in der Amhara Region tätig. Die akademische, disziplin- und kulturübergreifende Kooperation zwischen den Partnerinnen und Partnern der Universitäten Bahir Dar und Debre Markos in Äthiopien sowie BOKU und TU in Österreich (Wien) haben bislang gemeinsam einiges auf dem Gebiet der Landrechte erwirkt. Welches Wissen es braucht, um Land über Satelliten, Drohnen oder im Feld zu vermessen, was nicht gemessen werden kann - wie kulturelle Besonderheiten und ihr Wirken auf Traditionen -, welche Genderaspekte Entwicklungen befeuern oder hemmen oder wie Wissenschaft und Forschung gesetzliche Rahmenbedingungen für faire und transparente Landrechte für Kleinbauern und -bäuerinnen, speziell für Frauen ändern können, ist in diesem Podcast zu hören.

What does it take to fulfil your dream of travelling from the lowest to the highest point in Africa?In January 2011, Kyle Henning left the shores of Lake Assal, Djibouti (508 feet below sea level), destined for the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania (19,341 feet above sea level). For sixty-eight days, he travelled by bicycle and on foot to connect the lowest point on the African continent to the summit of its highest mountain, following the Great Rift Valley from the Afar Depression through the Horn of Africa. Traveling alone after finishing his Peace Corps service, he faced the physical demands of cycling through four countries, growing uncertainty as the Arab Spring gripped the continent, and the effects of his own post-traumatic stress from four intense years of working in crisis/disaster management in the USA and his international work in the Peace Corps.  We also discuss how his 10-year-old beginner mountain bike stood up to the harsh road and weather conditions, the kit he took, how he made provisions for water and food, and some of the hair-raising experiences he had cycling including being chased by a local woman with a seven feet spear, before being met with the ultimate challenge: climbing Mount Kilimanjaro!Kyle Henning was worn in Buffalo, New York, USA, and has spent part of his career working in the Peace Corps service and has recently returned to Washington after being based in South America for the Department of State.  You can follow Kyle on Instagram at @FromAfarBook or email him at FromAfarBook@gmail.comOther Links: "From Afar" by Kyle Henning is available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle formats:https://www.amazon.com/Afar-human-powered-adventure-continent-mountain-ebook/dp/B0946CXP7Q  100% of profits from sales of "From Afar" go to two charities: New Day Children's Centre, Bahir Dar, Ethiopia: https://ndccethiopia.org.uk/ AmeriCorps Saint Louis Emergency Response Team: https://www.americorps-stl.org/ Find out more at www.ruthmillingtonauthor.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ruthmillingtonauthor/Twitter: https://twitter.com/RuthMillington1Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ruth.millington.52/Share Your Story  Have an extreme travel story to tell?

This episode took some unexpected twists and turns but whether you agree with her or not, Coco is 100% BOLDLY SPOKEN. In this episode we talked about how she “shamelessly put herself out there” and networked her way to assisting in various hotspots around the world and got involved internationally with major world events. How a classical artist & former computer science major’s life was changed through study abroad and applying soft  “sales” skills and tenacity to get her into positions where she could help with various crises around the world. We also discussed how doing good for others drives personal happiness (a term I coined “ survival of the fittest by survival of the community”). Then we dove into some of her experiences with Global Outreach Doctors and the challenges faced with global humanitarian work surrounding feasibility & ethics including issues with encountering gender-based violence and its impact on communities.  Lastly we got into a pretty deep & serious conversation about her experiences working with military and healthcare colleagues as a woman, and the dangers women face when traveling abroad solo and what she does to protect herself and prepare for the unknown both mentally and physically.   Additional Resources: Contact for mentoring in the NGO/Medical space:coco@globaloutreachdoctors.org Solo Female Traveler Warning: Shawanew “Teshw” Tamiru- Lives in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia .3/.5 pilot pens for self defense  http://pilotpen.us/categories/gel-ink-pens/ Charity Link:https://www.globaloutreachdoctors.org/   Guest Bio: Coco is Nationally Registered Paramedic who has worked globally since 2013, when she moved to Jordan on the Boren scholarship, and subsequently, the Fulbright scholarship to conduct academic research on ISIS and Syrian refugees. During that time, she began volunteering medically at the refugee camps, and since then has worked all around the world: community outreach initiatives in Sierra Leone during the height of the Ebola crisis in 2014, Nepal earthquake response in 2015, humanitarian aid during the Haiti government shutdown in 2016, and in Syrian refugee camps in Greece that same year. She’s worked in Ghana, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Syria and the Russian-Ukraine border and also provided medical services to Iraqi Special Forces in their battles to retake Mosul and Tel Afar from ISIS. This past year she led humanitarian and medical assessment trips to the remote mountainous regions of northern Ethiopia, as well as the under-resourced regions of South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo. She’s  a NAEMT TCCC instructor, and holds a TC-P with the International Board of Specialty Certification and is currently deployed in Kandahar, Afghanistan, providing healthcare in a clinic on base. Aside from medicine, she holds an MBA from George Washington University, and an MA in International Security from Georgetown University. She applies those degrees at her day job working as a management consultant for Deloitte, helping the government find unique solutions to their challenges in organization and talent structures.

An estimated 95% of the native forest has already lost in northern Ethiopia, yet from the sky it has always been possible to see small green circles of hope across the country – the church forests of Ethiopia. Kalkidan Yibeltal travels to Bahir Dar to meet a man whose faith has led him to a lifetime working to preserve these oasis of calm and fertility. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church teaches the value of nature and the small forests surrounding each place of worship offer sanctity and healing for the communities they serve. We join Dr Alemayehu as he enters the sanctuary of the forest and learn of his passionate hope is that these forests can flourish and be connected – perhaps with corridors alongside rivers and streams – to give wildlife the greatest possible chance to thrive. He finds both sadness and joy as he strives to protect the last of Ethiopia’s native forest.

# AnthroAlert## Episode 16: Hunger AdvocacyOriginally aired 15 September 2017 on bullsradio.orgIn this episode, we discuss how an anthropological perspective helps address issues of hunger in our community.Our guest, Laura Kihlstrom, presents on food insecurity in the Tampa Bay Area.Laura is a dual degree student at USF: she is getting her doctorate in cultural anthropology and MPH in maternal and child health. She has an MSc in agroecology from the University of Helsinki, Finland. Laura spent six years working before returning to graduate school. During these six years she co-authored a book on global food security and worked in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia. Her interest in anthropology arose from the need to view global and local challenges from a more holistic and historical perspective. Once accepted to the program, she moved to Tampa with her husband, son, and two Ethiopian street cats. Laura has her roots in Finland, but she has spent large chunks of her life abroad: in Nepal, Sweden, Ethiopia, and now in the U.S. Becoming a student in anthropology and jumping into the discipline felt like finally coming home. Laura feels that it is a total privilege and a huge responsibility to be trained in a discipline in which students are constantly pressed to think beyond surface level explanations and to engage in critical thinking.During the past year, Laura has worked on projects related to food insecurity in the Tampa Bay Area. Two thirds of people tackling with food insecurity in the U.S. regularly receive assistance from food banks. In Tampa Bay, approximately one in six adults and one in four children are food insecure. Food pantries have been criticized for exacerbating the poor health of their clients by offering unhealthy food options, such as sodas and cakes. As a result, many food pantries now have programs designed around better nutrition and increased provision of healthier food options. The Last Mile study, led by USF researchers in cooperation with Feeding Tampa Bay, set out to investigate how the efforts of food pantries to serve more healthy food has been perceived by the clients themselves. The methodology used consisted of focus group discussions and household interviews. Based on the study results, clients of food pantries face several challenges in actually utilizing these healthier foods, the most common obstacles being poor quality and unfamiliarity with the products. Because of this, a lot of the fresh produce ends up being wasted. The results challenge us to think about access to food in more broad terms. They also engage us in a critical discussion related to food as a human right: Whose responsibility is it that every citizen has access to healthy and nutritious food? Are volunteer-based operations the best way to ensure food security? Who decides what poor people eat? How can compassion and kindness alleviate the emotional burden of food insecurity?## Podcast link## Video linkhttps://youtu.be/Hh-g-IZ0uXY## Album art photo credit:Oliver Thompsonhttps://flic.kr/p/9zVPYBCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/Therapeutic Food Pantry Boston U Medical Center #iln13 by Ted EytanCC License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/## Intro music credit:There's A Better WAY ! by Loveshadowhttp://ccmixter.org/files/Loveshadow/34402https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Het rommelt al weken in Ethiopië. Er wordt niet alleen gedemonstreerd in de hoofdstad Addis Abeba, maar ook in regionale steden als Gondar en Bahir Dar. Het protest van de bevolkingsgroep Oromo tegen de regering heeft zich steeds verder uitgebreid en ook andere groepen hebben zich nu aangesloten. Een gesprek met Marthe van der Wolf, oud-correspondent in Ethiopië en Ewout Frankema van de Wageningen Universiteit.
