How can I help? I’ve heard those four magical words a number of times over the years. Without a need to explain explicitly why help was needed. The offer was made. Then, a number of years ago, I was part of an audience watching a screening of the documentary, “The Cats of Mirikitani”. I heard the producer/director of the film, Linda Hattendorf, talk about this wonderful person who came up to her in a similar screening of the film and asked, “How can I help?” Helping meant getting the film networked and in film festivals around the world, it meant having it shown in small venues to help viewers remember the lingering wounds of war, September 11th, and the healing powers of friendship.
That extraordinary person who responds in ways that she can help a cause is one of the Humanitarian Awardees at our November 20th Global Gala. Until I listened to her acceptance speech, I never knew why our award recipient Cynthia Sears does what she does so graciously and wholeheartedly. |

humankind - a hopeful history  In next month's Global Read, international bestselling author Rutger Bregman provides new perspective on the past 200,000 years of human history, setting out to prove that we are hardwired for kindness, geared toward cooperation rather than competition, and more inclined to trust rather than distrust one another. In fact this instinct has a firm evolutionary basis going back to the beginning of Homo sapiens. December 15, 8am PT Donation or Free |

 parents circle WEBINARThe Parents Circle – Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Israeli-Palestinian organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost an immediate family member to the ongoing conflict.
