What if the greatest gift you give your kids this Christmas is a heart of generosity—and the chance to change someone else’s world? This episode goes beyond stockings and wrapping paper to tackle one of the most pressing questions for believers during the holiday season: How do we practically teach our children the virtue of generosity, not just for the holidays, but for a lifetime—and in a way that makes a true, eternal difference? Answer: Plant seeds of generosity in your family with Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Gift Catalog, a unique way for families to give gifts that can transform lives around the globe.

Real Stories, Real Impact: Kristy recounts emotional, hope-filled stories: families in Iraq whose lives are remade by a simple beehive; a mother shattered by tragedy in need of purpose and dignity, restored by a brood of baby chicks; and the power of a $9 donation to feed a hungry infant and spark the hope of the Gospel for a mother who feels forgotten. Generosity That Changes Hearts—Including Our Own: Discover practical ways to involve your kids in picking out gifts, writing cards for teachers in someone’s honor, or pairing a meaningful donation with something tangible. Biblical Parallels: Kristy and Catherine share how the work of Samaritan’s purse brings to life the stories of Ruth, who gleaned what benevolent benefactors left for those less fortunate, and Hagar, who met the God who saw her need. Seeds of the Gospel: Every gift given through Samaritan’s Purse meets physical needs—and intentionally opens doors for the life-changing message of Christ. Whether it’s a water well, a jar of honey, or a vital medical procedure, these gifts become vehicles for sharing hope and introducing recipients to the God who truly sees them.

This is the full conversation I've been so excited to share with you. A few days ago you heard the preview, and today you get the complete story with Christopher Hill, founder of Hands Up Holidays and Impact Destinations. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that the adventure is already happening within us, inviting us to show up with more compassion, curiosity, and courage.Christopher talks about how one trip to South Africa opened his heart to service, community, and deeper connection. He explains the difference between his two travel brands, why eco luxury is about honoring people and place, and how intentional travel can create lasting impact. We explore cultural immersion, breaking down othering, and how families grow in powerful ways when they serve together.He also shares stories from travelers whose lives changed in unexpected ways, from families whose kids chose to give up Christmas gifts to support children they met abroad, to clients who found healing after deep loss, to a woman who returned home so inspired that she moved back to Kenya on her own.Key TakeawaysWhat philanthropic travel meansHow Hands Up Holidays and Impact Destinations differWhat eco luxury really looks likeHow meaningful travel deepens connection and dissolves otheringWhy service based trips transform families and individualsReal stories of healing and confidence gained through travelLet yourself consider how your own travels and choices could carry more meaning, and what might shift if you followed that feeling.Learn More About His Work:Hands Up Holidays https://handsupholidays.com/https://www.facebook.com/luxuryvoluntourismhttps://www.instagram.com/handsupholidaysImpact Destinations https://impactdestinations.com/https://www.facebook.com/impactdestinationsSend us a text Support the show✨ Join My TEDx Spokane Journey!

In this episode, Guy talked with Dr. Nisha Manek. She challenges conventional understandings of consciousness and delves into the intersection of science and spirituality. Emphasizing that consciousness is not a product of the brain, Nisha discussed the latent capacities of human beings and the need to elevate our levels of conscious awareness. Through her experiences as a medical doctor and her studies with physicist William Tiller, she explored the potential of intention to affect physical reality, the limitations of modern medicine, and the importance of inner work. Nisha also shared practical advice on meditation and the transformative power of silence. About Dr. Nisha: Nisha Manek is an internally recognized leader in the field of integrative medicine. Nisha's humble background from Kenya propelled her to transcend limitations: gender, ethnicity, and financial status. From Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where she graduated Summa cum laude, to the University of Glasgow School of Medicine in Scotland, Nisha's uncommon tenacity has driven her to ask difficult questions and pursue answers beyond traditional medical paradigms.  Nisha began her career in rheumatology at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Recognized as Teacher of the Year in the School of Medicine, she brings storytelling as a core skill to bedside medical teaching and on the plenary stage.  But she didn't stop there. Nisha partnered with one of the world's most innovative physicists, Emeritus Professor William A. Tiller of Stanford University, and pushed the boundaries of what is possible in medicine. She is the preeminent doctor of information medicine, which intersects consciousness, biofield science, and rheumatology to improve human health.  She has authored a one-of-a-kind book, Bridging Science and Spirit, which closes the gap between two seemingly separate areas of knowledge. She is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of the United Kingdom.

This installment of TMTO reports on a 2025 mission trip to Kenya by the Qumran Family Foundation (QFF), focusing on supporting widows and orphans through literacy and empowerment programs. It details the ministry's work, challenges faced, accomplishments, and future plans. ·       Ministry focus on Kenyan widows and orphans: QFF aims to break the cycle of poverty by providing literacy education and business/job skills to widows and supporting orphans lacking basic subsistence and educational opportunities. Kenyan widows face social isolation, abuse, and financial struggles, compounded by cultural restrictions and lack of government support. ·       Biblical foundation for the mission: The ministry is grounded in Torah commandments to care for widows and orphans, citing multiple scriptural references emphasizing justice, provision, and honor toward these groups. ·       Trip logistics and locations: The mission trip was planned starting December 2024, with travel from August 24 to November 20, 2025. Activities took place in Nairobi, Migori, Kehancha, and Kisii. ·       Organizational milestones: QFF became a registered non-profit/NGO in Kenya with an official tax identification (KRA PIN) in August 2025, enabling legal operations. ·       Educational achievements: Forty-one widows graduated from the basic literacy course with a formal ceremony in September 2025. A new widows' school was opened in Kisii with 16-20 students, and the Kehancha school relocated to begin Phase 2 classes teaching business and job skills to graduates. ·       Ministry outreach and baptisms: The team delivered the Gospel to Kuria Family Care Messianic Assembly, supporting 25 fatherless children, and baptized eight individuals including the pastor in November 2025. ·       Staffing and facilities: QFF opened an office in Migori Town in November 2025, employing four teachers, an office manager, and an operations assistant to support ongoing programs. ·       Challenges faced: The ministry encountered political unrest, widespread corruption, and the strong presence of Islam in Kenya, alongside spiritual opposition, requiring reliance on faith and careful verification in operations. ·       Future needs and plans: QFF seeks funding for teachers, classrooms in Kisumu and Migori, a vehicle, support for Kuria Care orphans and widows, and ongoing operational costs. Planned 2026 goals include expanding literacy classes, graduating new classes, and continuing mission trips. Donations and support are encouraged via qumranfamilyfoundation.org.

We're back to Africa! Last month we kicked off a little Kenyan series on ​3 Books​ and today I'm thrilled to share another chapter recorded in the heart of pulsing downtown Nairobi in the country's top bookstore. I landed after an overnight flight and immediately filled my belly with fresh samosas, pakoras, curried goat tripe, and fresh tamarind juice ... for breakfast! ... and then, after seeing the city I hopped into a car with Perlexy, who works with our guest in Chapter 104 and current Kenyan Presidential nominee ​Boniface Mwangi​, and drove downtown... We parked the car and met up with Boniface and his son before walking up together to the second floor of a busy plaza. Tucked inside was a 1000-square-foot bookshop that happens to be one of the most influential literary hubs in the country: ​Nuria Bookstore​. That's where I met Bulle (pronounced "Boo-lay") who is of Somalian descent and born 700km north of Nairobi where he was largely raised by his wise camel-herding grandmother (who is 101 today!). Bulle took a business path early in life but as we'll hear his plans changed and now he runs what many consider the most successful bookstore in Kenya and is a huge champion and evangelist for African authors and African literature. Let's hang out upstairs in the Nairobi bookshop and talk about amplifying African voices, growing up among camels, the winding path of purpose, Bulle's 3 most formative books, and so much more … Let's flip the page to Chapter 155 now …

A Somali-American says his community is living in fear, after a series of ugly comments by U.S. President Donald Trump -- language he says need to be called out as racism, pure and simple.The ICC's first chief prosecutor says American strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats are definitely illegal -- and possibly a war crime. One family's hopes of bringing their adopted daughter from Kenya to Canada to celebrate Christmas with her grandparents are fading -- after two failed attempts to secure a travel visa for her. Pioneering sociologist Kai Erikson spent his life studying and validating the effects of collective trauma -- work, his friend tells us, that drew on his own compassion.We'll talk to the winner of this year's un-prestigious Turnip Prize, which honours the worst and laziest artist in Britain -- if he can be bothered to pick up the phone. Police get multiple complaints about a Brantford, Ontario resident who put up signs denying the existence of Santa Claus during the town's Santa Claus parade -- proving you give some people a grinch, and they'll take a mile. As It Happens, the Wednesday Edition. Radio that guesses he's some kind of rebel without a Claus.

Leadership development doesn't always happen in a boardroom.

durée : 00:05:07 - La Revue de presse internationale - par : Catherine Duthu - Une enquête parlementaire au Kenya dénonce des violences sexuelles commises depuis des décennies par l'Unité de l'armée britannique basée dans le pays d'Afrique de l'Est : une "tendance d'inconduite marquée par des viols, des agressions et l'abandon d'enfants conçus par des soldats".

Episode Intro:Happy Wednesday andwelcome back to the Female Guides Requested podcast, this is your host Ting Ting from Las Vegas. Today, I'm thrilled to host Lisa Van Sciver, a renownedmountain guide based in the Tetons with nearly two decades of experience.Lisa's journey is one of passion, balance, and profound impact. She'll share with us how she went from being a porter who thought guiding was "ridiculous" to one ofthe most respected figures in the industry, and how an early request for a female guide completely changed her career path.We'll talk about her unique strategy for achieving career sustainability in a feast-or-famine industry, the power of female guide collaboration (or as her mentor, AmyBarnes, calls it, the "sisters of the rope"), and why interactingwith people, learning their stories, and witnessing their inner breakthrough is the most rewarding part of the job.Lisa also shares with us her recent venture: an inspirational fundraising climb up Kilimanjaro.She'll walk us through her project, "Elevate Education," which is about creating an experience much "bigger than me"—using the mountains to provide educational opportunities for students in Kenya. Get ready for an insightful conversation on climbing, career longevity, and finding purpose beyond the summit. Let's welcome Lisa Van Sciver.Lisa's Links:https://www.instagram.com/lisavansciver/Kilimanjaro Climb — EducationFor All Children (EFAC)Quotes: "The big thing that pulled me into guiding instead ofthat was I really enjoy people. " "We always have a lot of different things going on, butyou deep dive into one topic at a time." "I think guiding can be a super long career, but youhave to be very dynamic with it." "Where I've found sustainability for myself is I'vealways had a second career." "As much as we're technical guides, were alsoentertainers. we are creating experiences for these people." "It's shifted my own desires as far as I still have alot of desires of objectives I want to climb and things I want to accomplish in my life, but I think it just gave me more pause on a greater awareness of what people deal with in the world and how I can continue to look for ways to be compassionate and supportive." "In some ways it's easier to get a job as a woman, butthen it's harder to get promoted. I think that's been from my own personal experience. everyone wants to add to their female roster, but then once you're there, you don't necessarily get the same treatment."

Hii leo jaridani tukiendelea kukupa taarifa mbalimbali kuhusu siku 16 za kuhamasisha umma kutokomeza ukatili dhidi ya wanawake, leo tunaelekea Mjini Hoima Magharibi mwa Uganda kusikia hisia za wanawake kuhusu ukatili dhidi ya wanawake mtandaoni.Watu takribani 100,000 wamekimbia makazi yao kaskazini mwa Msumbiji ndani ya wiki mbili, huku Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kuhudumia wakimbizi UNHCR likionya kuwa mashambulizi yanaongezeka na kuyakumba hata maeneo yaliyokuwa salama. Mwakilishi wa UNHCR, Xavier Creach, amesema mgogoro “unazidi kuzorota kwa kasi ya kutisha” huku familia zikikimbia usiku gizani wakati watu wenye silaha wakivamia vijiji vyao. UNHCR inasema linahitaji dola milioni 38.2 kukidhi mahitaji yanayoongezeka.Kaskazini mwa Asia, dhoruba za kitropiki na mvua zisizo za kawaida zimesababisha vifo vya mamia na watu wengi kukimbia makazi yao, imesema WMO. Clare Nullis, msemaji wa shirika hilo, alisema Indonesia, Ufilipino, Sri Lanka, Thailand na Vietnam ndizo zimeathirika zaidi. “Tunahitaji kuzingatia kuwa Asia iko hatarini sana kutokana na mafuriko,” amesema Nullis, akibainisha kuwa dhoruba karibu na Ekweta ni nadra na jamii hazina uzoefu wa kukabiliana nazo. Indonesia pekee, watu 604 wamefariki, 464 hawajulikani walipo, na 2,600 wamejeruhiwa, huku zaidi ya milioni 1.5 wakiathirika na 570,000 wakikimbia makazi yao.Wakati dunia ikiadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya Kukomesha Utumwa leo Desemba      2 Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Kazi Duniani ILO limeonya kuhusu kuongezeka kwa utumwa wa kisasa wa binadamu, likionesha kuwa watu milioni 10 zaidi walikuwa wakiishi katika kazi za kulazimisha au ndoa za shuruti mwaka 2021 ikilinganishwa na mwaka 2016. Makadirio haya mapya yanaweka idadi ya walioathirika duniani kote kuwa watu milioni 50 huku wanawake na watoto wakiendelea kuwa wenye hatari kubwa zaidi.Na katika kujifunza lugha ya Kiswahili, leo mchambuzi wetu ni Dkt.

In this powerful episode of The Circle of Hope, I'm thrilled to welcome Linda Balola, a lecturer and peacebuilder whose journey from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Rwanda has been marked by transformation, learning, and the courage to shift entire communities toward healing. Our story together began serendipitously in Nairobi, Kenya, when Linda recognized me from my TEDx talk—a beautiful reminder of how messages ripple globally, touching lives we may never even imagine reaching.Linda opens up about her personal evolution, moving from deep-seated judgments and cultural stereotypes to embracing the transformative principles of Nonviolent Communication (NVC). We dig into how she not only teaches these practices at the Protestant University of Rwanda but lives them—helping young people from conflict-impacted backgrounds explore empathy, process trauma, and rewrite how they relate to themselves and others. Our candid conversation explores the role of needs, feelings, and strategies for authentic connection and dives into our own real-life struggles and triumphs using NVC (including my very human experience navigating emotions at Costco!). If you're curious about building peace in divided communities, shifting personal relationships, or simply want to understand yourself and others more deeply, this heartfelt exchange is for you.Watch This If:You're curious about how Nonviolent Communication (NVC) works in real lifeYou want practical strategies for transforming conflict—personally or within your communityYou're interested in peacebuilding, empathy, and authentic relationshipsYou've ever struggled with communicating your needs, expressing emotions, or breaking through stereotypesYou're looking for inspiration from someone living and teaching hope amid challenging circumstancesQuotes to Remember:“Everything we do, we do to meet the needs... Even if you commit something that is not good, know that you still have something good inside.” – Linda Balola“Sometimes our needs are not meant to be met by other people. The need that we have are needs that we need to fulfill—we then select strategies that would address that need for us.” – Valerie Hope“Nonviolent Communication is not a therapy session, but it can heal.” – Linda Balola“Beyond right or wrong, we can still connect.” – Linda BalolaWhat You'll Learn:The fundamental components of Nonviolent Communication and their practical applicationHow to shift from habitual judgment (“jackal”) to empathic (“giraffe”) listening and expressionThe importance of identifying and owning your own needs in moments of conflictHow transparency and self-connection foster resilience and understanding, even in trauma-impacted settingsWays to compassionately hold space for strong emotions—both your own and others'Why cultural and personal stereotypes can be overcome through intentional connectionHow even compliments and praise can be forms of judgment, and the value of specificity in affirmationContact Information:Guest: Linda BalolaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/lindaducc?igsh=am44NDBpOTFxNDNlLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/linda-balola-sylvine-2a2b36183Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1HwgWCZrm1/?mibextid=wwXIfrHost: Valerie HopeWebsite:https://www.valeriehope.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/valeriehope/LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/valeriehope/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/ValerieVHopeYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/@ConnecttoJoyProduction Support: Lucy Hope - Podcast Editing, Copy, and Publishing.#CircleOfHope #NonviolentCommunication #PeaceBuilding #Empathy #TransformConflict

"How are the children? How are the cattle? Is it raining?" Filmmaker Jackie Lebo discovered the meaning of this traditional greeting when she and nine other artists explored Turkana, an isolated part of Kenya where the discovery of oil has disrupted pastoral life.

This Christmas season we are excited to partner with Samaritan’s Purse, our sponsor for today’s episode. This week’s guest on the Praying Christian Women podcast has seen God’s hand at work in some of the most desperate corners of the world. Kristy Graham, host of the On the Ground with Samaritan’s Purse podcast, invites us into a behind-the-scenes look at what it means to bring the hope of Christ to places marked by disaster, war, and deep need, and how you can be an integral part of this ministry through the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog. In our conversation, Kristy highlights one of the little-known gifts in the catalog: sponsoring a hospital chaplain. Kristy recently visited a partner hospital in Tenwek, Kenya and describes how she saw firsthand how desperately the staff and patients need chaplains. Through prayer, as well as practical and spiritual support, chaplains are making Kingdom difference as they meet people at their place of deepest need with the love of Jesus. You won’t want to miss Kristy’s moving testimonies, her contagious passion for the gospel, and some creative ways the Samaritan’s Purse Christmas Catalog can make gift-giving extra special this year.

Au Kenya, les mini miss et mister Kenya 2025 ont été élus la semaine dernière à Nairobi. Une quarantaine d'enfants de 3 à 17 ans ont participé à la compétition. Ce concours de beauté existe depuis près de 15 ans. Il a ouvert la voie à de nombreuses autres compétitions de ce genre qui se transforment parfois en opportunité de carrière pour les jeunes kényans. Le public du théâtre national de Nairobi s'enflamme quand monte sur scène une petite fille de neuf ans. Ella Cheruto commence sa performance. « Là, j'ai dansé et présenté mon projet écologique. Je me sens super bien. Je suis fière de concourir, j'adore ça. J'étudie le mannequinat. Ils m'apprennent à me coiffer, m'habiller, défiler. Vous pouvez me retrouver sur Instagram, Facebook, In box », explique-t-elle. Plusieurs fois par semaine, Ella Cheruto se rend dans une école de mannequinat. Sa mère, Chila Mayo, commerçante, l'y a inscrite. Cela fait deux ans que toutes les deux écument les concours de beauté du pays. « La visibilité, c'est important pour rencontrer du monde. Ella a d'ailleurs une manager. Être mannequin, c'est une carrière et je sais qu'elle ira jusqu'à l'international. Je veux la voir sur des plateformes à l'étranger. C'est un investissement, mais ça rapportera pour les gagnants. La pression, ce n'est rien, on la gérera en avançant », estime-t-elle. « Ça me donne confiance pour faire ce que je fais aujourd'hui » Tina Lughano est la fondatrice des mini miss et mister Kenya. C'est pour aider sa fille, atteinte d'une timidité maladive, qu'elle a créé ce concours en 2013 : « Monter sur scène, s'entraîner et montrer leur beauté, leur talent, cela leur donne confiance en eux. Quel que soit votre physique, vous pouvez participer. On juge surtout la confiance, les projets et le talent. Les enfants ont fait carrière, ça fait partie du plan. Certains réussissent, y compris d'un point de vue commercial ». Couronne sur la tête, écharpe autour du cou, Victor Job se balade dans les coulisses. À douze ans, il revient tout juste d'Inde où il a participé à l'élection de miss et mister univers : « Ce n'est pas une écharpe, c'est le titre de mini mister Kenya 2023. Ça me donne confiance pour faire ce que je fais aujourd'hui. Défiler et gagner des titres et parfois même de l'argent. Je me sens fatigué, mais j'aime aider ma mère avec cet argent. Quand je serai grand, je voudrais être pilote », termine-t-il. À partir du secondaire, l'École coûte en moyenne 400 dollars par an, selon le ministère de l'Éducation du Kenya. Le taux d'abandon pour cette période est de 8,5%.

My guest today is Lorraine Marcel, founder of Bitcoin Dada and its technical arm Dada Devs for women across Africa. She's a financial activist reshaping Africa's fintech landscape by training women across 12 countries in financial literacy, Bitcoin fundamentals, and technical development. We talk about how mobile money like M-Pesa, limited banking access, and cultural barriers around property shape the economic reality for African women, and why Bitcoin in much of Africa is used first for payments and day-to-day survival rather than long-term savings. We also explore the expanding reach of CBDC and VASP regulation, and why women-led projects such as Tando and Dada Devs are critical for building practical, grassroots Bitcoin economies that actually serve people on the ground.► If you got value, please like, comment, share, follow and support my work.

Will envisions a future in which the concept of wastewater is obsolete, thanks to advances in recycling.

Message us here!Are you avoiding talking to your kids about topics that are just...awkward? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Elsa Friis, clinical psychologist and VP of Product at Alongside, to unpack a practical way to tackle taboo topics (sex, porn, consent, screens) without burning the bridge you're trying to build. Dr. Friis takes us from a group home with twelve boys to community-led parenting programs in Kenya, showing how cultural humility changes results. Warmth, respect, and safety are universal, but a mismatch in how love is shown fuels conflict. We dig into concrete tools: visual schedules that calm bedtime battles, shared calendars that grow autonomy, and “ice cream chats” that make awkward feel doable. We outline scripts for starting the sex conversation early, framing online exposure without shame, and setting boundaries that still invite honesty.We also explore how technology can extend, not replace, human care. Alongside for Families uses an AI wellness coach to help parents and youth practice tough conversations, build study plans, and share the right info at the right time. Teens get a private space with clear safety rails; parents receive high-level summaries and immediate alerts for risks like self-harm. Resources:Dr. Friis is giving Little Helpers a free 30 days to Alongside with the discount code FRIEND30!
