At Glasswing Ventures, Rudina Seseri wants to be able to answer the question: What has Glasswing Ventures done for the company beyond capital investment? She speaks to Jon Krohn about how her company uses data to assess venture capital investments, the secret sauce of successful AI startups, and why she feels generative AI is only the start of a much broader impact that AI will make in communities and businesses.

»Meine Eltern haben schon immer gerne viel und gut Zuhause gekocht«, erzählt Alexandru Simon. Man möchte meinen, der Weg in die Küche lag für ihn also nahe. Dem ist aber nicht so, wie Simon verrät: »Ich war Zuhause absolut kein passionierter Koch. Mein erstes Gericht war furchtbar.« Erst durch den Umzug nach Österreich kamen bei Simon das Interesse an handwerklichen und kulinarischen Tätigkeiten wirklich auf.Das »zu Tode gekochte« Wokgemüse haben ihm seine Eltern inzwischen verziehen und die Gäste im »Glasswing im The Amauris Vienna« sind ohnehin überzeugt von seinen Fähigkeiten. Im Gespräch mit Falstaff-Chefredakteurin Lisi Brandlmaier erzählt Simon außerdem, wie er über Frankreich und Rumänien nach Österreich kam und wie diese vielen Einflüsse sich heute auf seine Küche auswirken.Alle Folgen und Infos rund um den Podcast findet ihr unter falstaff.com/at/podcast und überall, wo es Podcasts gibt.

The glasswing butterflylives Around central america. Like most other species of butterflies,this species migrates because it needs a new food source or it can't survive inthe current climate. It eats Flowers, plants, and nectar, whichmakes This species an Herbivore. Butterflies have long tongues, which help itsuck up nectar from flowers. The main predator for this species and mostother species of butterflies is Birds. The glasswing butterfly protects itselfwith its diet, it eats a specific plant that has a toxin in it, which makes ittaste bad so less predators will want to eat it. The clear wings also make itharder to detect.During mating season, they live in big groups.It is around 1 or 2 inches long, and has clear wings with red and brown scalesbordering the wings. After undergoing metamorphosis, it only lives for up to 12weeks. The reason this species has “clear wings” is because the tissuespanning between the wings has no scales, making it look clear. They are alsoimportant for the environment because they are pollinators, when they eat fromflowers they get some pollen on their legs, and as they go around theypollinate other flowers.

Este viernes se cierra el Foro Económico Mundial de Davos, en Suiza, donde se juntan las más grandes empresas y los lideres políticos más influyentes del planeta. Pero además de la política y de los negocios, el foro también premia la innovación social. Este año, la ONG internacional Glasswing, fundada en El Salvador, recibió un premio por sus iniciativas para mejorar la salud mental frente a la violencia en Centroamérica. La ONG Glasswing fue premiada en el Foro Económico Mundial de Davos especialmente por un programa de psicoeducación que está implementando con cerca de 100.000 funcionarios públicos de El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, México y Colombia. “Si llega un paciente con un balazo, lo sacan, lo desinfectan y le hacen el proceso quirúrgico. Luego esa persona se va y como consecuencia, probablemente puede tener ansiedad, pánico, le puede costar dormir. Puede ser que uno entre en depresión. Entonces hay muchos impactos de este tipo de violencia”, explica desde Davos Celina de Sola, presidenta de esta ONG. Las consecuencias del trauma, si no se tratan correctamente, pueden aumentar el riesgo de que un paciente sea nuevamente víctima de violencia, o incluso que él mismo comita violencia. Pero la capacitación a trabajadores de la salud brindada por la ONG permite reducir este riesgo, subraya la presidenta de Glasswing: “Hicimos un estudio con el Banco Mundial. Que ellos vuelvan a llegar al hospital con otra lesión reduce esa probabilidad por 30%, que obviamente a nivel humano es mucho impacto y también tiene implicaciones económicas para el sistema de salud”. “Consecuencia de un estímulo” Para policías, la capacitación apunta a bajar la probabilidad de que los funcionarios puedan cometer violencia en su trabajo o en su vida personal en reacción a un trauma. Y en el caso de profesores, la ONG busca ayudarles a entender qué puede llevar a un niño o una niña a tener problemas en la escuela. Según Celina de Sola, “lo que nos dicen también quienes participan es que entiendes el impacto. Entiendes que el comportamiento es consecuencia de un estímulo. No es que tú eres una mala persona por algo que haces. Entonces te permite cambiar porque entiendes que son consecuencia de algo”. De forma más general, la ONG busca también luchar contra los prejuicios, entregando herramientas a trabajadores públicos para enfrentar parte de los problemas de salud mental: “La verdad es que la evidencia le apunta a que, si no tienes una base de bienestar, de salud mental, difícilmente logras objetivos de educación o salud. O sea, si un chico o una chica viene de contexto muy adverso en su hogar y no hay un sistema de apoyo para que ese chico o chica pueda entender y manejar el estrés o el trauma que enfrenta, no va a poder aprender matemática”, indica De Sola. Glasswing hoy está presente en 14 países de toda América y tiene más de 600 empleados.

Celina de Sola es cofundadora y presidente de Glasswing International, una organización latinoamericana sin fines de lucro que lucha en contra de las raíces de la pobreza y la violencia a través de la educación, salud y el desarrollo comunitario.En este episodio, Celina conversó con la profesora Andrea Prado acerca de la trayectoria de Glasswing, su impacto en la juventud, así como de los hitos que han hecho a la organización un actor clave en la construcción de alianzas y atracción de voluntarios.El podcast Gerente de Impacto es dirigido por la Prof. Andrea Prado y producido por la Cátedra Strachan de INCAE Business School.

Recent events have compelled nonprofit organizations to change the way they get work done, how they deliver their services, and what they do to achieve a more just and equitable society. So, The Business of Giving has connected with those organizations that are doing this exceptionally well in a segment we call: The Paths Forward. Because there is more than just one way. In this edition of The Paths Forward we'll speak with team members at Glasswing International. Their mission is to address the root causes and consequences of violence and poverty in Latin America through programs that empower youth, mobilize communities, and strengthen public systems We'll start with their CEO, Ken Baker, who will explain the significance of the organization's name.

Hoy conversamos en nuestro estudio en el marco del 15 Aniversario de Glasswing en El Salvador con Celina de Sola cofundadora y presidenta y Diego de Sola cofundador de Glasswing.

The following is a conversation between Ken Baker, co-founder and CEO of Glasswing International, and Denver Frederick, the Host of The Business of Giving. In 2007, Glasswing International was founded based on the knowledge that communities in Latin America face health and education challenges on a grand scale. Their mission is to address the root causes and consequences of violence and poverty through programs that empower youth, mobilize communities, and strengthen public systems. And to learn more about how they go about this work and the impact that it has had, it's a pleasure to have with us, Ken Baker, the co-founder and CEO of Glasswing International.

The Northern Triangle countries of Latin America are some of the most violent in the world. El Salvador and Honduras have ranked among the highest murder rates for years. It's not only the gang violence we hear most about, but also domestic abuse and gender-based violence. And the trauma it leaves behind has a devastating effect on entire communities, from the hospital staff who treat victims to police officers patrolling the streets—and especially on children and their ability to learn. Celina de Sola spent a career in humanitarian aid work before returning to her hometown of San Salvador in 2007 to look for a way to protect children from violence. With her husband, Ken Baker, and brother Diego, she started with a single volunteer-led after-school club for kids in one of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods. Today, Glasswing International equips schools, hospitals, and police forces with the knowledge and training to overcome the debilitating effects of violence-induced trauma. To date, Glasswing has reached more than 2 million children and adults in nine countries across Latin America—as well as in New York City. And it's partnering with national governments to further scale up a “trauma-informed ecosystem” that not only improves students' academic performance and resilience, but also creates a restorative antidote to help break the cycle of violence. This episode tells Glasswing's story, including: the terrifying day-to-day life in gang-controlled neighborhoods how Celina's childhood and humanitarian work led to Glasswing how school clubs provide a safe, caring environment to help children heal… …and the positive results on their academic performance and behavior the neuroscience of trauma—and how its impacts can be reversed healing the mental health wounds of hospital staff and police forces how Glasswing is helping public institutions reshape the services they provide For the full transcript go to: https://ssir.org/podcasts/entry/healing_from_trauma

La llegada del COVID-19 significó el cierre abrupto de casi todas las escuelas del mundo, afectando a toda la comunidad educativa. Según datos de UNICEF (2020)1, alrededor de 1.9 billones de estudiantes fueron afectados por el cierre, lo que representa más del 91% de todos los estudiantes en el mundo. El impacto de este cierre ha sido muy significativo. El cierre de las escuelas también afectó a los docentes a nivel laboral y personal. La adaptación a una modalidad virtual, para la cual no todos estábamos preparados, exigió más tiempo, mayor esfuerzo y tiempo dedicado para formación, e incluso más recursos económicos para poder asegurar una buena conexión a internet y/o un aparato para conectarnos. Sumado a esto, debido a las restricciones de movilidad y distanciamiento social, y todos los efectos que estas implican a nivel social y económico, la epidemia también ha tenido un impacto en nuestra salud mental. Por lo anterior, es importante que todo plan de retorno a los centros educativos contemple estrategias y herramientas que permitan a los docentes y estudiantes afrontar sus necesidades socioemocionales.

"Be like John and believe in the light, believe in the things that God has promised to us."How is the Word made flesh in our world and our lives today?//John 1:6-8, 28-30There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light....This took place in Bethany across the Jordan where John was baptizing.The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, “Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.’//This episode was written and recorded by Christen Walker James.

In today’s episode I’m going to read not one but two articles about butterflies. Glasswing butterflies have large clear patches on their wings. Many would claim they ‘evolved’ transparent wings (to minimize their visibility to predators). Christians might retort that only a Creator could have made these beautiful see-through wings. Who’s right? And speaking of butterflies, their wings, it has now been discovered, employ two of nature’s tricks to help keep themselves clean: the ‘shark skin effect’ and the ‘lotus effect’.

In this episode, Celina de Sola joins Judithe Registre to discuss the context of human life and the experiences of citizens migrating from Latin American countries that have been the focus of the current immigration debate in the US.  Celina, the founder of GlassWing International, is from El Salvador. After spending many years traveling the world as a humanitarian relief worker as well as working as a social worker and public health specialist, Celina felt compelled to return home and make a difference in Central America. Drawing on her experiences, she saw an opportunity to combine an international perspective with a hands-on, grassroots approach to transform vulnerable communities across the region. Believing or assuming that people simply want to come to the United States misses the point that people are not going on vacation or choosing to expatriate to the US as a matter of luxury. “It is not easy to leave your home, to move to a new place where you do not speak the language, by taking a long journey to a completely unfamiliar life. This is not an exciting journey that people have decided to go on per se. People are fleeing to save their lives.” It is not simply a journey of aspiration; it is a journey of survival. People are being forced out of their homes. Celina's work with GlassWing International focuses on the critical work being carried out with communities, young people, and institutional structures in countries of origin (El Salvador, Guatemala, Ecuador, Mexico) to anchor communities' aspirations for peace and opportunity. As you will discover while listening to this episode, citizen safety and security is one of the greatest forms of opportunity that we can work to create. This episode will give you an appreciation not only of Celina's work, but of the full human context of migration, enabling you to move beyond the ideological battle of immigration as it is being covered by the news. “In separating children [from families] fleeing violence, it increases the burden of risk, with an impact [that will] last for generations.” As we have seen in other contexts, such slavery and Native Americans, it becomes an intergenerational catastrophe. “The challenge of structural and systematic violence requires deep level work at the community level with families and young people while working at the national judicial level.” Therefore, the work in host countries is paramount to avert further trauma and heal communities.
