The Maldives is probably the world’s lowest-lying nation, there’s rarely a natural elevation more than 6 feet above sea level. Therefore, the global warming crisis could be devastating for the islanders. At the current rate, the rise of the sea level would mean more than 80% of the Maldives will become uninhabitable by 2050, according to reports from NASA and the US Geological Survey.

Kids, Kindness and Korea
A few years ago, I attended a talk given by a refugee from North Korea. For around 90 minutes in a small pub in Camden the audience listened, rapt, as a quietly formidable woman told us her harrowing story. Her words wove a web around the spellbound crowd, her voice conjuring a powerful picture of her life up to that moment. You could have heard a pin drop. Many of those watching shed a tear as she shared her experiences with us.

The School Trip
It was 2008, before I transferred to another elementary school the following year. My third grade class was selected to go to Manhattan for a field trip to the history museum. I was excited to go and already paid for it. It was my second time going there on a school trip. I would eventually go there a few times later along with a bowling alley in Queens and a couple of pizza joints. But I was always worried about the seating arrangement on the bus because I felt like the person sitting next to me would not like me. On the day of the trip, almost all of my classmates were next to each other. The class was an odd number and I was about to sit by myself. Then Ms. Harris asked me to sit next to her during the ride.
