Thank you Kate and all your wonderful writers from all over the world. You are doing a fantastic job. I am looking forward to more inspiring and educational articles in 2012. Happy New Year to all of you from Buenos Aires.

A very interesting and informative article .This sounds like quite a film about human rights and the need to stand up for what one believes in with great passion. Another film not to miss. Thank you Ali .

Wow, I just read this article and was really taken back. It sounds like an extraordinary film, I am looking forward to seeing it. Hopefully, it will be shown in Buenos Aires.
Thank you Ali for such a great review and inspiring article, and reminding us to stop and observe what each and everyone of us do everyday to contribute to the waste in the world.


What an excellent article Kate. I wish I could have been there to hear Firth Murray speak. She is definitely on the right path as I feel everything that you wrote about is so true in our daily life. The Dalai Lama speaks of that compassion and love all the time.
Thank you for an inspiring article !!!

Thank you for a well written and very informative article. It shall definitely be a help for making donations to worthwhile charities.

Excellent article Ali. I am very impressed by the work of julia Bacha and hope that I will be able to see the film here in Argentina. Thank you for sharing it.

I enjoyed reading your article on breastfeeding. I, myself, am a firm believer in breastfeeding if possible for a year. I have two grown daughters, 26 and 29, who were breastfeed solely for the first 6 months of life and then I slowly began giving them some food. I live in Argentina and my daughters were born here. Today, everyone is breastfeeding their babies as it is quite the fashion but twenty some odd years ago that was not the case and I was considered quite the rare breed. I loved breastfeeding my girls and felt that it really bonded us as well as being the healthiest thing to do for my daughters and myself. I will never forget those precious and warm moments .

I enjoyed reading this article. Thank You!!!!

You are right, "hopelessness is not resilience"!!! What a heartbreaking account of what really goes on at the prisons in Haiti....

Wonderful article..Makes one stop and think for a moment about the world around us and the help one can do. Yes, the article did make you feel part of the experience.
Thank you !!!!
