Italy, Germany, the European Union, and the Libyan migrant deaths at sea, 71 Syrian dead found in a truck in Austria
04/23/2015
An influx of migrants from Libya into Italy, smuggling of refugees on boats, as the civil war in Libya, and protracted war in Syria, continues in 2015. According to Frontex, the EU border agency, about 171,000 people in 2014, four times that in 2013, tried to cross the 250 mile stretch of ocean into Italy in rickety boats. Italy calls for EU wide cooperation to deal with the crisis, and pushes for a UN negotiated settlement in Libya.

U.S. resettlement of Syria's refugees at 1500 and UK 166 in 2015, as Germany accepts 800,000 refugees
09/04/2015
The huge difference in the U.S. and German resettlement of Syria's refugees. About half the population of Syria is dslocated in a tragedy of massive proportions for a country of 23 million- additional numbers of refugees are spread out in Iraq and Libya. The U.S. withdrawal from the Middle East under the Obama administration led to a worsening of the crisis in Iraq, Syria and Libya, and the unraveling of the fragile situation in these countries. The result is the flow of migrants to Europe by the hundreds of thousands in 2015. German chancellor Merkel will be remembered in history for the courage to say in Sept 2015- "If Europe fails on the question of refugees, its close connection with universal civil rights will be destroyed." And for rallying German society to the work of integrating refugees with the openness of educational institutions and civil society, especially in the urban areas.

The photograph of a dead Syrian Kurdish child Aylan on a beach in Turkey, that arouses Europe about the migrants in the Mediterranean from war torn areas
09/04/2015
The child's parents made it from Damascus to Aleppo to Kobani. They paid $4000 for the mother, father, 4 year old Aylani and his brother, to make it from a beach in Turkey to the Greek island of Kos. The boat capsized and the mother and children were drowned. Only the father survived, so distraught he is going back to Kobani for burial. A huge wave of migrants are leaving the war tonr areas in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Somalia and Eritrea, in North Africa, increasing the urgency of resettlement efforts, and European efforts for negotiating peace in the region.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
