LEARN10 - What urgent challenge should EVOKE tackle next?

LEARN9 - Five principle bulwarks against denial

I think the secret “How do People React in a Pandemic?” is very important, because you can learn how to react during a pandemic.

When people initially become aware of a risk, they overreact temporary in a short-term way. The knee-jerk…

IMAGINE8 - 2087

If I'm 100 years old, it will be 2087…the world will have many changes, the information age will be in more advanced stage, the consequences of climate change will be more evident and so on. The future generation, at least in industrialized countries, will live in abundance and take everything for granted and don’t think about consequences of their behavior in respect to environment.Probably they will still sit from the screen and prefer to communicate with each…

Women and Girls 2020

I think, the girls and women empowered by my favorite Global Giving Project "Provide Scholarships for 20 Rural Guatemalan Women" would have an education and a job, so that they can provide financial security for their family. Their children would have the opportunity to go to a school too. The project itself would get bigger and global, because it would be also supported by the past Kateri Education Fund recipients.

Provide Scholarships for 20 Rural Guatemalan Women

Guatemalan girls and women have no access to educational opportunities,Their education remains low, particulary for Indigenous women, who complete an average of 3.1 years of schooling.The Kateri Tekakwitha Education Fund allows these women to remain in school beyond elementary school. The women attend monthly workshops, which help them with career, economic and professional skills.

Microsaving

I think the idea of Prema Salgaonkar will make the biggest change in how we use money in the future. It is really a creative solution for poor people to save money, because normally they are living on $2 day or less and saving money is almost impossible.

"In South Africa, 11 percent of the sample faced a financial emergency in any one year from theft or violent crime. In Bangladesh, 7 percent were cheated or lost cash, and 19 percent lost their home or property through fire or other…

Happy World Water Day - 2020

I would arrange an event in the larger cities over the world with so many celebrities and important personalities as possible in order to call attention and advertise this event. The event should include concerts, something to drink and to eat, whereas the people should pay for food and drink. Besides there should be plays like: “transport a water bowl on a particular route like the women and children have to do in poor rural communities”, in order to show the people what physical hardship…

780 million people don't have access to an improved water source. Therefore women and children are often forced to travel long distances to the nearest body of water to collect water. This exact them physical hardships from the journey, as well as a daily process that takes up an immense amount of time.

Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V

The "Deutsche Welthungerhilfe e. V" is a confessional and politically independent, non-profit-making and non-governmental aid organization for development cooperation and emergency aid.

In Germany in 1962, at the initiative of the then German President, Heinrich Lübke, a committee was founded, later to be renamed "Deutsche Welthungerhilfe". For over forty years, the vision of a world without hunger has linked them with partners in the north and south – with project partners in Africa,…

Fourth of July on the Lake

This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years.

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Future

FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

public servants

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
