Lighthouse Foundation is a youth homelessness service. It's been in operation for just on 30 years. And it's an organization that really not only seeks to address and and youth homelessness as it currently exists, but to really work with the community, both private and public, to achieve not only a solution for the young people of today, but certainly to do something about the sad but, unavoidable fact that there is an increase of young people in the next generation who come through to similar circumstances. What is the lighthouse foundation? 0:03 How do you use the term “youth”? 1:27 Lighthouse seeks to make it easier for those who can't provide that for themselves to find those pathways. 3:41 Not every family is perfect by any means, but it's your family. 5:42 What's the ways for a business to help? 7:36 How to help people who are missing the basic needs of life. 9:31 How can the community help? 11:46 What are some things that we can help by looking out for? 13:34 Don't force the kids to kiss Auntie May. 16:00

When I was in the deepest, darkest pit of grief, it was almost impossible for me to think about taking care of myself physically. If you are struggling in this area, today's guest is perfect for you to hear. She is focused on performing self-care every single day. She says that she cannot even imagine going a day without doing some sort of physical activity to help both her mind and body. Lynda's focus on self-care started in a very unusual way. Her daughter, Paige, was sick with mono and within a week became very ill with a disease called HLH (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis), which required hospitalization. Since her daughter was an adult hospitalized during COVID, Lynda could not stay with her constantly. The hospital staff encouraged her to go home each night to care for herself. Lynda said that she would wake up early each morning to call the night nurse to check on Paige. She would then go on a 30-minute walk or run to decompress before going into the hospital for the day to be with Paige.  After 55 days, Lynda's beloved daughter, Paige, died from HLH, but Lynda did not turn away from her self-care. Instead, she poured more of herself into it. She added yoga to her daily routines. Her 30-minute runs turned into 5K runs. She says that she uses this time to process her grief. She said that this daily activity brings her a sense of calm in her day. She finds herself better able to work and care for her family as well. It is truly inspiring. In addition to her personal self-care, Lynda is very focused on raising awareness for HLH both in the medical community and the general population. She and her family have raised money for the Liam's Lighthouse Foundation (https://www.liamslighthousefoundation.org) to help with funding research for this disease. Her hope and prayer is that treatments may improve so that other families do not have to experience this pain.

OMG y'all, why's everyone keep talking about "return to work" when we never stopped working? Not just in places like jobs, but literally working to emotionally, physically, and mentally survive a literal pandemic? This week, Spencer and Jamie kick things off by chatting through the feelings of overwhelm and tiredness that a lot of folks seem to be able to relate to right now, especially as technology continues to blur the boundary between work and life. You are not alone! Capitalism just wants you to think you are! And who better to break it all down than Dr. Devon Price, nonbinary icon, social psychologist, and author of Laziness Does Not Exist! This convo was absolutely electric, as Devon helps us see how the "laziness lie" and our society's obsession with productivity is hurting all of us, traces its origins to white supremacy, and shows us how playing video games (and other activities often seen as "lazy") are actually really, really good for us. And you know we couldn't let them leave the studio without sharing their transmasculine reading of Ico!! Plus: Returnal's mixed accessibility reviews, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, Emily is Away

In 1825, an act of Congress authorized the building of a breakwater off of Cape Henlopen in Delaware to create a protected harbor. The new harbor that was created was called the National Harbor of Refuge. In 1907 a lighthouse at the southern end of the outer breakwater went into service. The original structure was replaced by a 76-foot-tall cast-iron lighthouse in 1926 and automated in 1973. Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse under construction (National Archives).

The Delaware River and Bay Lighthouse Foundation was founded in 1998 and became the steward for Harbor of Refuge Lighthouse when a lease was signed with the Coast Guard in 2002. The foundation began offering seasonal tours, and in September 2004, ownership of the lighthouse was transferred to the organization.

Georgia Lions Lighthouse Foundation, EarthShare 012018 by The Good Works Show

2017 has been a tough year -- from hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and fires, to political news. If you've been watching and wanting to make a difference, but you live a busy life or you're just not sure how to get involved, this episode is for you. Sarah Davison-Tracy runs Seeds of Exchange, an organization that uses storytelling to make tangible change. Sarah gives advice for getting involved in service -- with small, doable steps. In this episode, she talks about helping the Lighthouse Foundation, which rescues Nepalese girls from a life of sex slavery. Bonus at the end: Hannah Badi, one of the first girls to be rescued from this life, tells her story.  Highlights:  - To live a life of meaning and purpose requires three components: destiny/superpower, tribe, and offering. Sarah defines each one.  - Without a tribe, service is unsustainable. We burn out. Grow a tribe or turn to your existing one to continue offering service (and to continue creating something new, which is hard).  - Raju Sundas began the Lighthouse Foundation because he watched a TV documentary about the Badi people, who live in a village 20 hours from his city of Kathmandu. At the time, nine years ago, he had no money himself, but he was moved by the plight of the villagers and felt he had to do something about it. The Lighthouse Foundation now houses, clothes, and educated more than 700 children.  Resources mentioned in the episode:  Seeds of Exchange Lighthouse Foundation Nepal Video of Hannah's story Read about Hannah in an excerpt from Sarah Davison-Tracy's forthcoming book: Live Ablaze | And Light Up the World. (Click on the bonus content button for the .pdf) Transcript of Hannah Badi's speech about being rescued and her ambition to become prime minister of Nepal:  Hannah Badi Tells Her Story The following is a transcript of a short speech Hannah Badi gave at a Seeds of Exchange storytelling event in Denver in September, 2017. Raju Sundas, the founder of Lighthouse Foundation Nepal, translated for Hannah – until the very end of her talk, when she switched to English. To listen to her talk, go to the end of this One More Shot episode, following the credits. Hannah: [00:39:00] Speaks in Nepalese.  Raju: [00:39:04] When I was nine years old I met Uncle Raju at my village.  Hannah: [00:39:24] Speaks. Raju: [00:39:33] Being part of the Badi community. I have seen what is happening in Hannah’s village. And I myself went through that experience.  Hannah: [00:39:44] Speaks.  Raju: [00:39:52] If nine years ago if I was not rescued from that village I wouldn't be able to speak today. Hannah: [00:40:00] Speaks.  Raju: [00:40:45 All my friends, those who used to play with me, were being sold in brothels. I have seen everything with my own eyes. Hannah: [00:40:57] Speaks.  Raju: [00:41:12] [In Badi villages], they celebrate the girls. Because they don't celebrate girls as girls but they celebrate as income source, of money.  Hannah: [00:41:20] Speaks. Raju: [00:41:37] Mothers teach their daughters how to entertain or how to attract a man.  Hannah: [00:41:42] Speaks. Raju: [00:41:55] Badi people, you know, is one of the people groups that are being treated as a lowest of the society. [In Nepal’s caste system, Badi people are the lowest caste – the “untouchables.”]  Hannah: [00:42:06] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:14] In our society the dog has value. Dogs can go from one house to another house. But Badi people cannot go from one house to another house. They are “untouchable.”  Hannah: [00:42:28] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:32] So since our lifestyle was like that, education was just a dream. No one can study.  Hannah: [00:42:41] Speaks.  Raju: [00:42:46] When they were nine to 10 years old, that is the time they had to start the business [of enforced prostitution].  Hannah: [00:42:54] Speaks.  Raju: [00:43:24] They are treated this way in public places like police stations, bus stations, hospitals, anywhere. They are being ostracized by people. The moment the people know that they are Badi people, they are open to being abused. Hannah: [00:43:46] Speaks.  Raju: [00:43:48] No matter what type of caste, the moment people know they are Badi people, they are seen as sexual toys. Anyone can do anything to them, all kinds of things.  Hannah: [00:43:57] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:01] I thought that I would end up in a brothel. Or I would have to sell my body. I was thinking like that.  Hannah: [00:44:08] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:10] My sister was sold in front of my own eyes. My friends were sold in front of my own eyes.  Hannah: [00:44:17] Speaks.  Raju: [00:44:22] Nobody heard our voices. We were the voiceless people.  Hannah: [00:44:26] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:33] When I [Raju] went and spoke and told them that I was there to help them, it was difficult for them to believe a man. They didn’t trust me. Hannah: [00:44:42] Speaks. Raju: [00:44:45] When I went in her village for the first time, she performed a dance.  Hannah: [00:44:50] Speaks. Raju: [00:45:03] When I met Uncle Raju, I felt that the future of my life was in his hands. I can trust someone like that.  Hannah: [00:45:14] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:17] I brought Hannah and 31 other girls to Kathmandu. Hannah: [00:45:19] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:22] She started to go to school.  Hannah: [00:45:24] Speaks. Raju: [00:45:28] I had a great struggle in the school as well, being Badi.  Hannah: [00:45:32] Speaks.  Raju: [00:45:39] Ever time they encounter problems in school, we always encouraged them, that their time will come. You will rise.  Hannah: [00:45:47] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:00] When I came to Lighthouse, I found the authentic love. There is no fake, no selfishness. And people from other parts of the country also shared love, you know.  Hannah: [00:46:16] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:23] I came to know my value. Hannah: [00:46:27] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:32] I have completed my college degree [note: college is high school in Nepal].  Hannah: [00:46:35] Speaks.  Raju: [00:46:38] So soon I'm going to study political science in university.  Hannah: [00:46:43] Because I want to be a prime minister of Nepal.  Raju: [00:46:46] That's amazing (cheers from audience).  Hannah: [00:46:52] I want to change my nation and I want to change the caste system, and I want to support Badi people.  I want to be a strong woman of Jesus Christ. And I am so happy I'm here. And thank you for everyone here. So thank you for your love. Thank you for your support. Thank you for your prayer. And thank you for you make me strong. And thank you for helping us, Uncle [Raju]. He's my great father and great mother.. And thank you so much for everything and please help us. Raju: [00:47:37] Thank you. No need to translate now! (Cheers from audience.)
