#6 Part of our theme

On the 10th of November is the World Science Day for Peace and Development (we recommend you watch “Eye in the Sky”). 
Share with us ways you think science can help foster peace and development.
The picture below shows a man giving his phone to a boy to see while on a train trip.
The boy's interest in the science and technology of the phone and the man's sensitivity to the boy's interest tells us that issues of distrust, envy, threat, racial discrimination, and other vices can be done away with, while embracing togetherness in the innovations of science for peace and development. 


Now if that was an Ak43 the man was with and the boy admired, we would be saying a different thing entirely.
This month we celebrate the ways science has helped broker peace and development and not anything otherwise.
God loves us.

Story Time

Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...
