teacher planning sessions 2011
How do you like this job? How’s it different from your job back in Australia?
I love this type of work as I really believe that the most effective way of breaking the cycle of vulnerable urban children & youth is by education and training. This job allows me to support marginalised youth and really make a difference to their futures, by delivering skills that will give them a job and lead them to owning their own business, it’s makes it possible. I don’t think there’s any difference from what I do in Australia as skills lead to opportunities where ever you are in the world. The experience to volunteer in Cambodia with friends-international gives me the opportunity to help with that goal and I really love that idea! FI has set up the infrastructure and I can provide the trade skills, its perfect.
Favourite Quote Sebastian Marot Founder/International Coordinator – When I first started listening to street youth in the early 1990's, they said they wanted education, "he thought education meant classrooms, teachers, school BUT he now knows it means learning skills that will lead to making an income....."

Tokyo
Tokyo!!.. is cold, insanely clean, orderly, heated train seats, and toilet seats! Vending machine to order soba noodles, expensive, given a bag for your head when trying on clothes at Zara, rich, polite, addicted to smart phones (not permitted to talk on trains, so games and facebook it is), highly fashionable, sake & sushi at 9am in fish markets, parks are beautiful, harajuki girls are fabulous. Thanks Tokyo - we love you! Sara Da Riva. Off to Koyto countryside temples tomorrow.

World Vision Australia's CEO Tim Costello responds to Federal Governments plans to cut foreign aid to help its budget.
TIM COSTELLO on 7.30 Report: Well I think it's fair to say that AusAID have had a
far-ranging review and have said, "Right, we're focusing on poor people,
not poor countries, we're not just giving it to governments.
I like this!

Beer Promotion Girl in Cambodia
Beer Promotion Women are the workers that face many problems such as bad
working condition, sexual harassment, violation, discrimination and
stigma.
Heineken, Carlsberg, Stella Artoir and San Miguel are beer companies
making huge money; they must own their responsibilities toward women
employees.....
