61. Creating Hope International: Bringing Hope And Peace To The World In the wake of these natural or humanmade disasters, everyday people like you and I struggle to obtain those things which we most often take for granted http://www.creatinghope.org/

"Empowering Communities throughout the World!" CHI Home CHI PROJECT NEWS About CHI Afghan Project How You Can Help Tibetan Project ... Alternative Health Project Creating Hope International (CHI) was founded on a vision of improving the daily lives of the underserved, often silent victims of world strife, devastating natural disasters, crumbling economies, and political systems which suppress natural human rights. In the wake of these natural or human-made disasters, everyday people like you and I struggle to obtain those things which we most often take for granted: food, shelter, health care, employment and education. Lacking these life necessities, people are deprived of the self-dignity and self-determination so crucial to the human spirit. In response to these needs, CHI begins projects with grassroots organizations to help them respond with local solutions when they face problems. Rather than short-term grants or limited-impact charity work, we invest in building local education and health resources and training people with the skills they need to continue the work on their own in the future. In the process, we restore their self-confidence, help them develop expertise, and assist in creating new, thriving communities out of the ashes of the old. Whether CHI is working with Mexican villagers to build latrines or training teachers in Afghanistan, our aim is to bring hope and constructive help so that local people can direct efforts to rebuild their communities.

They learn that the natural and human-made designed worlds are different, and that tools and materials are used to alter the environment. Students learn that the development of emerging technology is exponential, driven by history, design, commercialization, and shaped by creative/inventive thinking, economic factors and cultural influences.*The core concepts of technology include systems, resources, requirements, optimization and trade-offs, processes and controls.

Home Promoting the Health and Well-Being of Families During Difficult Times Promoting a Family's Physical and Mental Health and Well-Being Marta Stuart Extension Specialist Yavapai County, Arizona The purpose of this fact sheet is to help families understand how they can be healthy while going through a very stressful time in their lives. It will introduce information on your mental, physical, and spiritual health and well-being, as well as offer strategies for staying healthy while dealing with a disaster. Living a healthy lifestyle by taking care of your mental, physical and spiritual health is critical to protecting yourself from physical and emotional stress during any disaster. A healthy body copes better when confronted with stressful conditions. Mental Health and Well-Being What is mental health? How can you stay mentally healthy when confronted with a natural disaster such as drought, earthquakes, tornado, or a human-made disaster? In a recent study by the American Psychiatric Association, it was recognized that mental health is more than the absence of mental illness. The study identified characteristics that make up mental health called "positive psychology" (Holmes, 2003). Some of the qualities of positive mental health are as follows:

Home Cymraeg Site map About CAFOD ... Where we work Africa Africa CAFOD spent £13,102,000 in Africa in 2004-05 Key challenges CAFOD's priorities Countries where CAFOD works Africa's poverty is linked to a history of exploitation including slavery and colonialism that has left a bitter legacy for the majority in Africa. In the last 20 years, the debt crisis and unfair international trade rules have further deepened poverty and widened the gulf between rich and poor. Key challenges Poverty and globalisation The 18 lowest-ranking countries in the United Nations' Human Development Index, which assesses life expectancy, education and standard of living, are all in Africa. The benefits of globalisation (for example, improved communications and trading opportunities) are felt by a limited few in Africa. Foreign investors often have more economic influence than local communities or even governments. HIV and AIDS In sub-Saharan Africa, more than 28 million people are living with AIDS and HIV, placing a huge strain on already stretched health services. The United Nations estimates that AIDS could kill up to 26 per cent of the labour force in the hardest-hit African countries by 2020.

Flynn, Ed.D. NCP Clinical Quarterly 4(2): Spring 1994 To meet the psychological needs of victims following Presidentally-declared disasters, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) provides funding for crisis counseling, training, and public information and education services through provisions of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (P.L. 100-707). The program is implemented using the Interagency Agreement mechanism with the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), within the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration (SAMHSA). These crisis counseling programs are awarded through State Mental Health Authorities, or their designees, and provide services without charge for approximately one year following a disaster declaration to anyone residing or working in the declared disaster area. The crisis counseling program is relatively unique in the speed and flexibility with which funding and services can be initiated and delivered. Funding can be in the hands of the State within two weeks of a Presidential declaration and the approved program can be modified throughout the grant period to accommodate changing needs. The following principles are among those guiding the design and operation of crisis counseling programs:
