This week's guest is John El-Maraghy, non-profit professional, and Director at Archangel Raphael's Mission (ARM).John is was born and raised in New Jersey where he is currently based. He started his career in impact consulting and then transitioned into non-profit. He made the move when during a time of self-discovery, he he realised he wanted to be of service. For John, it is important for him to believe in the mission of the organization that he is working for whether it is non-profit or for profit and in both his full-time job and his volunteering with ARM he has found that. ARM was founded to be a support system for people in need. After starting out as a food service organisation, they shifted their focus to health and hygiene interventions providing mobile showers and a mobile barbershop. Topics covered:Career transitionService to othersFinding your purposeTreating others with humanity and dignityImportance of being aligned with an organization's mission in any type of workHow to get into volunteeringNote from Rabiah (Host): You won't hear it but I had SO much trouble saying the name of the organization! Thank goodness for acronyms. I learned that Archangel Rafael is the patron saint of healing and the work that ARM does definitely serves that purpose. John and I spoke about ARM's affiliation with a church but how the involvement of the church doesn't extend to evangelism. It is so important that when any of us set out to do charitable work as individuals or organisations, that we remove personal gain from the objectives and that's just what happens here. I mention it to John but one thing I really appreciated in our talk, besides how he is going about giving, is the respect he has for the people he is serving in the way he talks about them. It is something I've thought about again in editing. I volunteer for a charity that serves the homeless in London and often think about how people are treated depending on their social status.Sorry it has been so long since the last episode.

Cherokee Nation Sends Its First Delegate to CongressGuest: Chuck Hoskin, Jr. Principal Chief of the Cherokee NationFor the first time in US history, a Native American tribe is sending a delegate to Congress. Now, there are already a handful of Native Americans serving in Congress from a number of states. But the Cherokee Nation is sending a delegate to represent their own sovereign Native American government. The Effort to Bring Bison Back to the WestGuest: Kurt Repanshek, Founder & Editor-In-Chief of Nationalparkstraveler.org; Author “Re-Bisoning the West: Restoring An American Icon To The Landscape”“Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play.” Have you ever wondered “Home on the Range” –the “unofficial anthem” of the American West -starts with buffalo roaming? I've eaten buffalo burger, but I've never seen buffalo roaming wild and I'm from the West. There are only about half a million buffalo in America today –most of those are being farmed for meat. And yet, the buffalo –or bison, same thing –is at the center of the Department of Interior's official seal and on the National Park Service emblem and, just a few years ago Congress made it the official mammal of the United States. Why are we so enamored of bison? Lava Mae and Mobile HygieneGuest: Doniece Sandoval, Founder and CEO of Lava MaeAfter a hard workout or a long day at work, a shower just feels so good. It's nice to be clean. But what if you didn't ever have access to a shower? How would it affect your confidence and social life?  Or your ability to get a job? Most homeless people don't have access to a shower. Lava Mae is a nonprofit that has provided thousands of free showers for the homeless through buses converted into shower units. Since we talked to CEO Doniece Sandoval a few years ago, her idea has turned into a movement. Video Games and the Relation to Teen Violence: Is the Blame Justified?Guest: James D. Ivory, Professor and Research Director, Department of Communication, Virginia TechWhy do violent video games always come up in the days after another mass shooting in America? Politicians of both parties have, for years, called out video games for promoting violence. And it makes sense that spending hours shooting people indiscriminately in a virtual world might translate over to the real world. Sharing Funny Posts on the Internet Could Be a Copyright ViolationGuest: Ruth Carter, Attorney, Carter Law Firm, Author of “The Legal Side of Blogging: How Not to Get Sued, Fired, Arrested, or Killed”When something doesn't seem fair, it really irks me. Always has. So I'm irritated when I see a funny video or cleverly-captioned photo pop up on my social media feed and it's gone massively viral. And I want to “like” or “share it.” But –and here's the fairness part –the person who made the video or photo isn't actually the person getting the viral credit for it. Somebody else with a bigger following snagged the content and posted it to their feed and they're getting all the traffic –and probably even making a buck off it. So then, I'm thinking, “Well I don't want to help this cheater. I want to go like the original post and give credit to the person who created it.” But I can't find the original online –it's hard to track those things down. And really, shouldn't there be a law that prevents this kind of rampant ripping off of other people's property? Educational Technology from Film Strips to Virtual RealityGuest: Rachel Wadham, Host, Worlds Awaiting on BYUradio, Education and Juvenile Collections Librarian, BYU

Even more than that, she is providing essential lessons to all of us about how to make deep meaningful connections through the power of stories. Keep a hankie handy - these stories are amazingly powerful and deeply moving.

No one grows up with the goal of being homeless. Doniece Sandoval, the founder of Lava Mae, realized during a life-changing cab ride. Lava Mae is a nonprofit in San Francisco that converts public transportation buses into mobile hygiene units, or bathrooms on wheels. (Yes, it seems businesses on wheels really intrigue me.) The goal: to deliver hygiene and to reconnect people experiencing houselessness with their dignity. Doniece began Lava Mae after learning there were 16 shower stalls and about as many toilets for San Francisco's 7,500 houseless men, women, and children. Think about that math. It just does not work out. In this episode, she talks about how her idea became reality in such wonderful detail. In the five years since launching Lava Mae, 14,000 Californians have been served. Lava Mae is expanding by sharing an open source toolkit to respond to the more than 2,000 requests for help from communities as far away as Zimbabwe and as close as New York. In that same period of time, she has won countless awards and been recognized by CNN, Toyota and other organizations. Doniece, however, is most proud of the honor bestowed upon her by her 12-year-old daughter who calls her a homeless superhero. You know what? Her daughter is so right. In this episode, we discussed what Radical Hospitality™ is and transforming how communities see our unhoused neighbors. Hygiene is important for everyone, not only for physical health, but for self-worth and self-confidence. Doniece saw firsthand how a shower can change a person, their view of the world, and how the world views them. She also eloquently shared her experience of seeing how bureaucracy and innovation can play nice in the sandbox. Doniece helps us see ways to navigate interactions with our houseless, sometimes invisible, neighbors, people who need to be and should be seen. She reminds us that being homeless is a set of circumstances, not the identity of a person. I was deeply moved by Doniece’s story. I sincerely hope you will be, too.   For show notes and resources visit: https://www.vitalcorpswellness.com/blog/lvcs-0065-doniece-sandoval

If there is one place where we see a whole lot of shame, it’s in the condition of not having a home, of being homeless, houseless, unhoused. Those that are without a home feel ashamed, we as bystanders feel ashamed for not doing anything about it and cities that have homeless populations feel shame too! So we brought Doniece Sandoval, founder of Lava Mae, on the show. Her organization instills a deep sense of pride in a population that struggles with shame. Lava Mae has turned busses into showers for the homeless. Just as people walk into the SHAMEBOOTH to shed their shame and feel proud, people flock to Lava Mae to wash themselves and come out clean, and proud.
