Ubuntu
By Charis Hill UBUNTU just is. “Isn’t that U-buh-ntu, the computer program?” No…not quite. I am referring to a concept best lived and experienced outside the confines of technology. Ubuntu draws humans together, in very personal ways. If we listen to the word very carefully, we are able to hear, “Ubuntu: we are all connected […]
The View From Here
By Molly Stitsworth I’ve come to this convention not only to enjoy the YAF, but to work on behalf of Vocare International. I spent yesterday at our booth, greeting people from all over the world. Whether or not they stopped to talk, each and every person gave me a smile. It was very encouraging, especially […]

As youth we are put out in the spotlight and then just expected to quietly integrate into becoming an “adult” […]
UNCSW 2010: Welcome to the UN CSW

Joining with over 8,000 other registered NGO representatives, these young adults are setting out on a journey of exploration, expansion, and advocacy. They […]
The Episcopal Church Welcomes You
by Nkiruka Okeke Outside of the Anaheim Convention Center, where the 76th Episcopal General Convention was held, a banner that read “The Episcopal Church Welcomes You” was hung. When I first arrived, I felt like I didn’t know anyone and I got lost (as usual) but the friendly smiles and the helpful directions of those I met […]
UNCSW 2010: Speaking Up
When I woke up this morning, eager to start my new day here with a whole new family of women and men, I made it my goal to recognize connections between me and another person today. These strong connections with people who are seemingly so different from me were something that has been very apparent […]
