Hello guys! These are some of the development projects/foundations (ending sex-trafficking) I found on the internet. 

#1 Somaly Mam Foundation

This is a non-profit organization founded by a Cambodian survivor (sex trade survivor) to not just end sex-trafficking but to also empower women, the victims of sex slavery. 

They rescue women from exploitation and help them through recovery by working with partners in South East Asia.

Check it out! I think it's a very good project we can use. It includes all the topics we covered in class (although I skipped like six classes...). They help to fight sex-trafficking by educating, training, using mass media, community-based programs...etc.

NEAO 2013

A little late for this but I loved this tournament. I learnt so much and met so many inspiring people from different societies. But still, seven rounds! I was so exhausted towards the end of this tournament. More respect for debaters, they drink so well and can endure hours and hours of non-stop discussion!

Stress

A psychologist walked around a room while teaching stress management to an audience. As she raised a glass of water, everyone expected they’d be asked the “half empty or half full” question. Instead, with a smile on her face she inquired, “How heavy is this glass of water?” The answers called out ranged from 8oz to 20 oz. She replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long I hold it. If i hold it for a minute, its not a problem. If i hold it for an hour, i’ll have an ache in my arm. If i hold it for a day, my arm will feel numb and paralyzed. In each case, the weight of the glass doesn’t change, but the longer i hold it, the heavier it becomes.” She continued, “The stress and worries in life are like that glass of water. Think about them for a while and nothing happens. Think about them for a big longer and they begin to hurt. And if you think about them all day long, you will feel paralyzed - incapable of doing anything.” Always remember to put the glass down.




마음이 지친다. 처음으로 직접 느낀다.

그냥 그 의미만 알았었는데, 오늘은 정말 마음이 지칠수도 있는거구나..한다. 뭔가 무겁고, 답답하고, 지겹고, 많이 상한. 

But I find love and value in little things now.

Development

개발.

Development.

요즘 정말 가장 자주 말한 단어가 아닐까 싶다. 캐티 교수님 강의, 코이카 세미나, 모의유럽이사회...그리고 갔다오니 플로릭 교수님 수업까지. 지긋지긋하게 날 쫓아왔다. 이젠 정말 익숙하고 정들어 버린..

항상 나왔던 해결책은 '교육'이었다. 개발에 있어서는 정말 빠지지않는 '에듀케이션'. 

그리고 오늘.


과제를 하다가 스스로에게 이런 질문을 하기 시작했다. 학교가 없는 세상. '교육'이란 단어조차 존재하지 않는 세상은 어떨까? 

뭔가 정확한 이유없이, 머릿속에 그려진 이 새로운 세상은 좋았다.
