Aung San Suu Kyi: Prisoner for Freedom 
When Aung San Suu Kyi began to speak at Rangoon’s Schwedagon pagoda , up to 1 million Burmese people gathered to hear what the daughter of Aung San had to say. “I could not as my father’s daughter remain indifferent to all that is going on.

Reconstructing lives
It was the first day of our annual visit to Nepal, when 12-year-old Pinku hopped into the hospital room. He was supported by his older brother, Nageshar, who had helped him make the 12-hour walk and 12-hour bus ride from his village. He had a burn scar contracture on his right leg that meant he couldn’t walk.
