“We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” – Winston Churchill As part of the team iProbono, I’m proud to support their mission of advancing social justice worldwide. iProbono empowers individuals to access their rights, strengthens civil society, and advocates for equal justice—building the foundation for just and equitable societies. In today’s climate, as minority rights are increasingly under threat, the need for organizations like iProbono has never been greater. One of our current initiatives is the Child Rights Program in Sri Lanka, where we aim to raise $30,000 to help children remain in loving family environments. Sri Lanka is experiencing a devastating crisis: economic hardships are forcing thousands of families to place their children into institutional care—not because they are orphans, but because their families cannot afford to care for them. In 2019 alone, 92.1% of children placed in care had at least one living parent. With your support, iProbono can: • Advocate for stronger social protection policies • Provide families with the tools and resources needed to overcome economic challenges • Promote accountability in childcare systems by prioritizing family-centred solutions Every contribution makes a difference. If you’re able, please consider donating. Feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more about iProbono or discuss how we can collaborate to support these vital causes.

Relationships and collaboration between school districts and local first responders are crucial, and Troy Burke's post below lends a perfect example of the good will and increased readiness for emergencies that can result when school districts make assets available to first responders for training. Consider: -School districts have schools, buildings and stadiums (many of which are idle during the summer) and fleets of school buses (frequently a few that are decommissioned and headed to salvage). -Both the district and the community depend on first responders to be competent at tactics and familiar with the layout/features of school buildings (and buses) when responding to emergencies. - Police departments need to be familiar with the layout/features of schools and other buildings, and are almost always on the lookout for new buildings for officers to train in/on (building entries & searches, active shooter response, hostage rescue and other tactics). Same for school buses (also to practice emergency entry, hostage rescue and the like). - Fire departments/EMS are also always on the lookout for buildings and vehicles (especially buses) to practice rescue/extrication. It's a win-win where school districts allow first responders to use the district's inventory of buildings and buses for training and exercise purposes. The cost to the district is typically negligible (may have to run the building AC for a day or absorb lower auction sale price of salvage bus), but having first responders with more training "reps" in actual district buildings (or buses) can result in more effective responses during an emergency - a big win for the school district and the community at large. Not sure? Districts and local first responders can quell apprehension and grease the wheels of cooperation by having a thoughtful discussion with appropriate district and local gov't representatives, and working out an MOU that includes things like: 1. Expectations on cleanup and repair of any unintended damage to district property (Sarge, can you please have your guys make sure no simms paint is left on the walls...). 2. Who at the district is authorized to approve a police/fire request to use a building for training and the process to confirm no conflicting district business or event is scheduled in that building. 3. Procedures/requirements to avoid alarm by district staff, students or the community (advance notification that an unusual first responder presence at a district building is for training purposes and not an actual emergency). 4. Expectations for unlocking/locking/setting alarms, etc., in buildings.

London is the least generous of all the UK’s capital cities. We often associate philanthropy with affluent areas, but the latest UK Giving Report tells a different story. In Belfast West, one of Northern Ireland’s most deprived areas, residents donate an average of 2.2% of their household income to good causes each year. In Kensington and Bayswater, where the average house price is more than £2 million, people donate just 0.5% of their household incomes – the lowest in the whole country. I don’t think Londoners are ungenerous, I think there is a big opportunity here to connect them with a cause they care about. At Pravi.ai we’re building a platform that uses data to connect charities with their ideal donors. Wherever they may be. (The UK Giving Report 2024 is published by Charities Aid Foundation)

In December 2023, research conducted by Shelter revealed an alarming 14% increase, equivalent to 38,100 individuals, in the number of people experiencing homelessness compared to the previous year. Among them were over 309,000 individuals, including nearly 140,000 children, who lacked stable housing. These figures are deeply concerning, highlighting the urgent need for action. Each of us can make a difference by a. raising awareness and b. contributing via donations. Whether you choose to share this information, donate, or both, your efforts will help provide crucial support to those who, for various reasons, lack the fundamental necessities required to participate fully in our society. Homelessness is a persistent issue that demands our attention and collective action. It's very clear that this problem won't disappear overnight. Therefore, it's vital for each of us to recognise our social responsibility and contribute, no matter how small that effort may seem.

Networking is so key in development. It saves time and resources and catalyses impact through the sharing of best practices. Working in isolation is never as effective as coming together.
