We don’t talk about our hearts nearly enough in international aid and philanthropy. But this Valentine’s Day seems like a good time to do so. Our hearts draw us to this work, and if we keep them open enough, they are what tie us to this work when the frustrations and obstacles seem insurmountable.

A community leader and member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska,…

Burning for Revolution: A Tribute to Muhammad Al Bouazizi

While I don't think I'll ever be hopeless enough to burn myself alive, I can't help but think that I am not so different from Muhammad Al Bouazizi. I, along with millions of educated young men and women throughout the world, are sick and tired of tyranny, injustice, under-employment, and despair.

Martin Luther King Jr. on Forgiveness

This is a sermon delivered by Martin Luther King at Dexter Avenue Baptist Church on Christmas of 1957. It deals with the question of how do we learn to love our enemies. For King the answer lies in forgiveness. In celebration of Martin Luther King day I wanted to share his inspiring words.
