Podcasts about street children

In today's conversation, I'm joined by my friend Eagle Spits from Nottingham, United Kingdom. As a teenager, Eagle discovered his passion for punk rock. In 2009, he had a profound experience with Jesus. Inspired by the writings and stories of Dorothy Day of providing radical Christian hospitality towards the poor, Eagle began organizing punk shows in 2010 under the banner of Punk 4 The Homeless to support street children. Today, several Punk 4 The Homeless gigs are regularly held across the UK punk scene, benefiting an orphanage a family started in Sierra Leone in response to the Ebola epidemic of 2014. You might recall we spoke with that family back in Season 3, Episode 8 of this podcast. I hope you enjoy our conversation as Eagle shares his love for punk rock, his faith journey, and the inspiring story behind Punk 4 The Homeless. If you enjoyed today's conversation, please consider sharing this podcast with your friends as well as subscribing and leaving a review on your favorite podcast platform.

If you are a city child in a poor family in Myanmar, you might be missing out on your right to education these days. There are fewer organisations around to help street kids, but there's one group trying to fill the gaps. This week's story is by a Frontier Myanmar journalist

Ep 465 - Seeing Street Kids' Potential Guest: Krista Thompson By Stuart McNish   “The reasons why children end up on the streets are complex. Often, their arrival represents an active decision on their part in response to serious rights violations at home,” says Moses Ogutu in “Under The Bridge: The Invisible Lives of Street Children.” Ogutu was a child of the street for five years. Today, he is an international business and trade lecturer at the African Leadership University and a 2017 Mandela Rhodes Scholar.   Ogutu's life journey is proof that children who end up on the streets can and do rise above the challenges they face. Ogutu points out that homelessness among youth is a global problem and in each jurisdiction, the reason a child arrives on the street is individual and globally similar.   Krista Thompson, the past CEO of Vancouver's Covenant House, agrees. “There are many successful intervention strategies that work to help young people who clearly have smarts and grit and problem-solving abilities to move forward toward a more positive future.” One such strategy is “Relentless Support,” a program that Covenant House offers.   We invited Krista Thompson to join us for a Conversation That Matters about ensuring that young people are not forgotten, are visible, and supported to grow, develop, and realize their potential.   Learn More about our guests career at careersthatmatter.ca   Join me Oct 3 for Conversations Live - A Vancouver Sun Town Hall: AI - Friend or Foe https://www.conversationslive.ca/

The recent passing of iconic musician Sinead O'Connor has reignited an important conversation about mental health and the need for compassion, support, and proper care. Throughout her accomplished career, O'Connor was remarkably open about her own struggles with conditions like bipolar disorder and complex PTSD. Her candidness helped break down stigma, but also revealed just how broken our mental healthcare systems remain. You can read the full article here: ⁠https://markspencer1.substack.com/p/how-sinead-oconnor-showed-us-that⁠ In 2017, O'Connor gave a painful interview about the isolation she felt as someone struggling with her mental health: “Why are we alone?” she said. “People who suffer from mental illness are the most vulnerable people on Earth. You've got to take care of us. We're not like everybody.” She also encouraged people to be there for anyone dealing with these issues: "If you have a family member that suffers from mental illness, care for them, tenderness, love, care for them. Visit them in the hospital, don't dump them in the hospital and bugger off," she said. Her words ring true for so many who feel abandoned when they need help the most. In this extended podcast, I speak frankly about my own struggles and challenges and my mission to take this on the road globally. I explain how I hope to raise awareness and to also provide a space for all of us battling mental health challenges, or even physical health challenges or prejudice of whatever shape or form they take, to support each other as we push to increase the awareness and the support for people struggling. I also speak about the situation Sinead faced, Her memoir, Rememberings. and what it tells us about the failings in the mental health services. Additionally, I elaborate on how music can be used creatively and cathartically to help us heal, or at least to support and ground ourselves in the absence of any other support services available. Finally, I show you exactly what can be achieved with very little technology to create your own tracks and share a snippet of my latest track, which is called Lost, and is an expression of my emotion after loss and grief. You can purchase the full track here: https://markspencer1.gumroad.com/l/lost?layout=profile If we honor Sinead properly, we will learn from her openness and her struggles. We will have those difficult conversations about abuse and trauma. We will stop tolerating inadequate mental healthcare. And we will build a society focused on healing, not stigma - one where people's lights are not extinguished too soon. O'Connor deserves that lasting impact. May she rest in the peace she could not find in life. If you would like to help me take this message on the road and speak worldwide, then please consider buying my original tracks / album https://markspencer1.gumroad.com and join me on https://markspencer1.substack.com/ Follow me at: https://www.youtube.com/@markspencersstars And please share my work widely on your social media networks to help me. Your support helps fund my global tours to promote mental health, trauma and abuse awareness, and establishing the Spencer's Stars Foundation (in memory of his Stillborn Son) to aid those with mental health battles, and Street Children in the Philippines and Worldwide to receive the education they miss out on.

This month we go back to Zambia for an enlightening conversation with Kumbutso Phiri, a development specialist. Kumbutso works with a wide range of topics, but in this conversation, we explore the topic of street kids who live on the streets of Lusaka, Zambia's capital city. Kumbutso gives us insight into the demographics and societal infrastructure of the street kid population. While the exact number of street kids is difficult to estimate due to a lack of effective ways to definitively count them, Kumbusto believes the number is rising rapidly. This is a generational problem with many babies being born onto the street. Join us for this deep dive into the problems of urbanization, neo liberalization, and wider global pressures that are pushing and pulling people to the streets.

In this episode of the BACK 2 BASICS PODCAST, we invited Mr. Abdul Rehman Lodhi. Mr. Lodhi is the co-founder of EOTO foundation. He founded this organization 'Each One Teach One Foundation' with the motive, that if an individual who is privileged, grants education to those who are out of school for so many reasons, then that day is not so far away when we overcome this education crisis in Pakistan. Our Organization, EOTO Foundation, is working for those underprivileged children who are unable to fulfill their dreams of getting a free and quality education. The Organization is contributing to the betterment of this country for the last 6 years and so far, 300+ children are accommodated with free and quality education. The Foundation has 3 campuses in-running in different areas of city Gujrat and in Islamabad, and one is under construction in a remote area of Gujranwala.

In India, almost 23 million girls drop out of school each year once they start their period. (BBC 2020). In this episode we speak to Sanjay Gupta, Founding Director of CHETNA in India. Sanjay talks us through the everyday challenges faced by girls living in the slum communities in Delhi when it comes to managing their period. Where there is a lack of clean toilets and privacy, poor access to running water, plus stigma and taboos to be tackled, CHETNA has been actively taking on the challenge of what girls on the street have asked them for support with – period poverty. CHETNA has been engaging with local girls and their families to provide them with not just sanitary products, but an open forum to discuss and learn more about periods, good hygiene and looking after themselves, and combatting the stigma that exists around the sensitive subject of periods.

Topic discuss: "Police" and "Street Children" Presenter: Zakaria Sheikh Hanif khan Police Although policing in the UK is under heavy scrutiny, we must not forget the hard work the police force put in to serve and protect. With reform taking place in Scotland and a drive for change in the rest of the UK, let's take a moment to appreciate the hard work of the brave men and women who put others first Street Children Instead of being a priority to society, street children have become invisible and abandoned. No child deserves this fate and as a collective we should ensure they are given their due rights and access to means to make a positive change in their lives.

Hello, BookLoves.In this episode of the Intralingo World Lit Podcast, I offer a short reading from the book Walking the Bowl: A True Story of Murder and Survival Among the Street Children of Lusaka, by Chris Lockhart & Daniel Mulilo Chama.Below, I offer a whole lot more about it, what I took from it, and what I hope you might too.From the publisher: For readers of Behind the Beautiful Forevers and Nothing to Envy, this is a breathtaking real-life story of four street children in contemporary Zambia whose lives are drawn together and forever altered by the mysterious murder of a fellow street child.This book is nothing short of a dedicated miracle.Over a period of years, the co-authors, a graduate student and a team of four former street children lived and worked in the vast slums of Zambia’s capital city, getting to know a cross section of the population, taking hundreds of pages of notes and over a thousand hours of recordings.When a young boy, who became known as the Ho Ho Kid, was found murdered at the city dump, the team dedicated their efforts to following the investigation in real time and discovered a connection to many of the children they were already in contact with.Lusabilo, a self-titled “chief” and waste picker at the dump finds the Ho Ho Kid’s body and is forced to assist the police in their investigation. Along the way, he is led to Moonga, a recent arrival who has turned to begging, become hooked on sniffing glue and dreams of going to school; Timo, an ambitious and ruthless gang leader; and Kapula, an exhausted brothel worker who is saving to get out of the slum.The connections between these four kids, who each eke out a brutal existence, and the murdered child is told unflinchingly, unsentimentally, yet with emotion and compassion.Knowing they wanted to reach the wider public, to tell a very specific story that would humanize these individuals, rather than perpetuate the tropes or appeal only to a small circle of insider professionals, Lockhart and Chama cowrote these intertwined stories as a work of narrative non-fiction.I felt a stabbing pain at how every one of these kids had been abandoned by family and society, left to survive on their own in unimaginably unforgiving conditions. And every time I felt compelled to DO SOMETHING, the authors reminded me how well-meaning but utterly ineffectual foreign “aid” often is.Lockhart, an American medical anthropologist who has worked in Africa for decades, and Chama, a Zambian social worker who himself was a street child, hold nothing back. They expose what seems to be an unsolvable tragedy of poverty and corruption, helped little or even made worse by Western notions of “development.”And yet they present a story that is ultimately one of hope.In their preface, they say:“If you were to ask us what we hope you learn from this book, we would say we hope you learn a little bit about the day-to-day lives and realities of street children and a great deal about the power of the smallest good.”Walking the bowl—offering what little you can to another—is at the heart of this story. It’s a tale the Outreacher shares with every kid in the slums and with the White Man. (And it’s the reading I offer here, in this podcast episode.)Toward the end of the book, Kapula tells the Outreacher:“I wonder how different things would be if everyone did the small things you do for us every day. Even if they only did one thing in their whole lives, especially if that one thing was passed on to others—like in your story. Myself, I think it would be a very different world.”Myself, so do I.This book achieved its aim. I learned a little about others and a lot about how I can live a more powerful life. I was reminded that I don’t have to go to Africa. I don’t have to change the whole world. All I have to do is offer a simple kindness to another, right where I am, right here, consciously, whenever I can.Read this book. Because it’s good for you. For us. For humanity. Because it’s beautiful. Deep. Impactful. Necessary.But above all, walk the bowl. Please, may we all walk the bowl.~LisaLisa Carter is Founder and Creative Director of Intralingo, helping authors and translators write and readers explore stories.

Tom Hewitt, a lifelong surfer, first went to South Africa in 1990 on an anti-apartheid fact finding trip with local activists. He also spent time with peace activists in Maputo, Mozambique during Mozambique's civil war. It was here that he met street children for the first time. Inspired by the movement against apartheid, Tom stayed on in South Africa to volunteer further. Shocked at the plight of street children in Mozambique, upon his return to South Africa, he noticed and befriended a group of street children in East London, a town in the Eastern Cape. In 1992 he started working with street children in that town as a way of supporting, in a small way, the transition of the country into the new South Africa and in 1994 he was a peace monitor at South Africa's first free and fair elections.In 1997, he relocated to Durban and a year later, set up the Durban Street Team which introduced surfing as an activity. This was so popular among the street children that they soon pioneered a new model for working with homeless street children which fused surfing with mentorship and care. This organisation would go on to be renamed Surfers Not Street Children. The charity  has gone from strength to strength and now works with both street children and children at risk in the downtown Point area of Durban. Surfers Not Street Children also operates in  Mozambique and in 2017 launched Girls Surf Too, specifically targeting girls living in difficult circumstances. In this episode, Tom shares more of the backstory to Surfers Not Street Children and how it has evolved and developed over the last 20+ years. We discuss the challenges he has faced along the way and the unexpected benefits that have come from his work with the children and those who support them. We also discuss the  growing body of evidence around the power of "blue health" initiatives and his plans for the future of the charity. Find out more about Surfers Not Street Children: website: https://www.surfnotstreets.orgInstagram: @surfersnotstreetchildrenTwitter: @surfnotstreetsFind out more about Tom's work: Instagram: @tomhewittmbeTwitter: @tomhewittmbeTo contact Nicki about The Everyday Adventure Podcast, Coaching or "Resilience & Adventure" Workshops for Leaders, Teams and Individuals:Email: nicki@resiliencework.co.ukWebsite: https://www.resiliencework.co.ukInstagram: @resilienceatwork ,  @everydayadventurepodFacebook: The Everyday Adventure ClubTwitter: @resilience_worx

An estimated 90 percent of the world's school-aged children have had their education disrupted by the pandemic, according to UNESCO. We know that before the COVID pandemic, 1 in 5 children and young people around the world were not in school. That's an estimated 263 million children missing out on an education (UN, 2018). What will we see next for street children who already had so many barriers to entering education, what will the impact be on their learning and their future?

Amin Sheikh lived on the mean streets of Bombay from the age of five. Luckily, Amin was taken to an orphanage three years later and learned what it means to have a place you can call 'home' and people you can call 'family'. He had a dream of opening a cafe for street children. That dream became a reality in 2016 when he opened the Bombay to Barcelona Cafe. This cafe is run by former street children and is a safe haven and a place that they can call home. Amin also wrote an autobiographical story, I Am Because of You. You can learn more about Amin and his work at the cafe, https://bombaytobarcelona.com/ or at his book site, https://www.iambecauseofyou.com/ Here is an article about Amin's story, https://www.firstpost.com/living/bombay-to-barcelona-former-street-kid-amin-sheikhs-plan-to-help-others-2737486.html

During this episode Brady Black talks with Sophie about his struggle to adopt Akram and how he came to meet him. Brady also has an unusual past time, he heads to his street corner and paints the children who are doing anything to survive. Some of those children are burying in trash bins, others are pick-pocketing & most just chase every passer by for a little bit of change. How do you think you would handle this? Brady enlightens us to some of the hacks you can use to both make a difference for these children and not get overwhelmed in the process.  To hear more experiences, we need your help - DONATE NOW by clicking this link: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/levantx

Listen to your instincts.  Why is trusting ourselves so hard to do? We all have wired mindsets that dismiss our natural instincts to try and protect us, and yet these mindsets are what is hindering our success.  When you want something - go for it.  We here people say things like : I could never be successful online I cannot make money following my passions My training only taught me one direction, and I cant deviate from the path I don't want to leave the safety of my day to day corporate job Guess what: The most successful people out there didn't start on their path knowing where they would end up. Their paths were not streamlined to becoming CEOs.  … and my path was definitely not streamlined.  I did not become a Nutritionist thinking that I would ever become the CEO of a 8 figure company, supporting entrepreneurs creating their online businesses.  I put trust in myself and took my future into my own hands, and now I get the honor of interviewing others that have done the same. Dr. M has such an inspirational story, where she took the non-traditional route to land herself as the founder of Bowen College.  Dr. M started on her path with training as a ND. She quickly found that her passion was listening to her patients and helping them with the connection that they have with their own bodies.  Her training started her path in the health and wellness industry, and following her passions led her to the success she has found now.    More on Dr. Manon Bolliger: As a Naturopathic Medical Doctor and CEO of Bowen College where she has trained over 2500 healthcare practitioners in her methodology. Dr. M (Manon Bolliger), helps people take ownership of their choices in health. The best-selling author of “What Patients Don't Say if Doctors Don't Ask”, she helps people release chronic physical and emotional pain by helping them focus on their “health-nosis” and not their diagnosis. She has spoken on international stages like JTFoxx's Money, Health, and Business, TEDx TenayaPaseo in Las Vegas, is the host of The Healer's Cafe podcast and has appeared on ABC, CTV and NBC.  While overcoming stage 4 CA without pharmaceutical or a hysterectomy, she discovered that we are accustomed to thinking that conflict resolution is mediated externally. But when it comes to health, it is an internal process. She has pioneered the ‘A Healer in Every Household' Movement embracing the body's capacity to heal and the choice to govern our lives. Her new book “A Healer in Every Household: Simple Solutions for Stress” has just launched in October 2020.

In this episode I will discuss vodka, the Bulgarian president, and my own personal qualms with old people.

On a recent episode of “Inside the Vatican,” in the midst of Cardinal Robert Sarah’s book controversy, Gerry and I discussed how Archbishop Georg Ganswein’s role as Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI’s personal secretary—and often, by default, his gatekeeper and spokesman—has been called into question. Since the start of his papacy, Pope Francis has expressed a desire to keep his personal secretaries out of the spotlight. This week on “Inside the Vatican,” we look at how Francis has changed the role and discuss Father Gonzalo Aemilius, the pope’s new personal secretary, who is known for his work with street children and drug addicts in his native Uruguay. This week, we also give updates on the pope’s recent meetings with U.S. Vice President Mike Pence and Iraqi President Barham Salih. Since the Holy See has good relations with the U.S., Iran, and Iraq, could it be stepping in as a mediator? We also explain the election of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re as dean of the College of Cardinals and Cardinal Leonardo Sandri as vice dean. The election followed the traditional line, electing the former vice-dean as dean and the former chief of staff as vice-dean. We discuss what it means for both roles to go to Vatican insiders, for better and for worse.   Links from the show: Pope Francis names new secretary: a priest who worked with street children and drug addicts Mike Pence and Pope Francis meet in a surprisingly long first visit Pope Francis meets with Iraqi president amid growing tensions after Soleimani assassination Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re is the new Dean of the College of Cardinals “Inside the Vatican” explains the role of dean of the College of Cardinals

Today I’m bringing you a special episode from Kathmandu, Nepal where I am embarking on a 13-day Women’s Empowerment Trek to Everest Base Camp. Before I head out on my trek I’ve come to visit Eva Holmberg Tedert, founder of Society for Street Children in Nepal, who manages an orphanage for young girls just outside Kathmandu in Gokana and has spent decades helping build schools and creating educational and economical opportunities for young Nepalse girls to build a bridge out of poverty and escape the sex trafficking industry. It is estimated that 12,000 children each year are taken across the border and sold into brothels in India. Eva is someone who followed her calling several decades ago after hearing a Buddhist lecture that inspired her to give more of herself and turn compassion into action. She began volunteer with organizations in Nepal to feed street children and since then has helped address social and economical barriers that prevent women and girls from obtaining education and escaping poverty. In this episode we are discussing why education is key for building a bridge out of poverty, how to be a humanitarian when world issues seem complex and distant, how travel can be a political act and why the sex trafficking industry is such a big problem in Nepal and India and what we can do to put an end to it. 

Host, Keisha Reynolds, met with Molly MacCready, the executive director of a nonprofit organization known as CROSO, which stands for the Child Restoration Outreach Support Organization.  Molly shares her insights and the life stories of some Uganda street children.

On this date in 1949, the first daytime television soap opera was broadcast. Here are some things you may not have known about American soap operas. They’re called soap operas because soap companies were common early sponsors of the shows. The first soap operas appeared on radio. “Painted Dreams” is considered the first, and it premiered on Oct. 20, 1930,  on Chicago radio station WGN. It started as a 15-minute show that ran every day except Sunday. The show was created by Irna Phillips, who also acted on the show. Phillips created many of the techniques that are stereotypically associated with the genre, like cliffhanger endings and using organ music to serve as a bridge between scenes. Critics, who were mostly men at the time, said the shows were “childlike, unrealistic, vulgar and distasteful.” However, it appears likely that the shows were popular and struck a chord with their intended audiences. Phillips created several other radio soaps including “The Guiding Light” in 1937. Soon, Phillips was making a quarter-million dollars a year writing several soap operas, and in 1949 created the television program “These Are My Children,” which ran on NBC in Chicago for a month. Critics were once again not impressed. Television World reviewed the show thusly: “There is no place on television of this type of program, a blank screen is preferable.” Phillips didn’t stop and in 1952 “The Guiding Light” was moved from radio to TV. It’s name shortened to “Guiding Light,” it aired on CBS television until 2010, spanning 72 season on TV and radio.   Phillips would go on to create “As the World Turns” and “Another World.” She served as mentor to Agnes Nixon, who would create “All My Children” and “One Life to Live,” among other shows.   Since the early 2000s, ratings for American daytime soap operas have fallen significantly. In 2000, there were 11 daytime soap operas on the air. Today, there are only four. The increased number of women working outside the home is cited as the primary reason for the decline. Other reasons include the cost of producing scripted dramas versus talk shows, games shows and court shows.   Our question: Name the four soap operas on the air today.   We'll have the answer after this break.     Welcome back to the Trivia Minute.   Today is Independence Day in Nauru, and Street Children’s Day in Austria.   It’s unofficially National Hot Chocolate Day, Eat Brussel Sprouts Day, and Backwards Day.   It’s the birthday of actress Carol Channing, who is 96; actress Kerry Washington, who is 40; and singer Justin Timberlake, who is 36.   Because our topic happened before 1960, we’ll spin the wheel to pick a year at random.   This week in 1984, the top song in the U.S. was “Karma Chameleon” by Culture Club.   The No. 1 movie was “Silkwood,” while the novel “Who Killed the Robins Family?” by Thomas Chastain topped the New York Times Bestsellers list.  Now for our weekly question: What were Billy Preston’s two No. 1 singles in the United States?   ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Links Follow us on Twitter, Facebook or our website.
