people living on the equivalent of $2 a  day in a slum with open sewers and a 30 percent HIV infection rate among adults. Children are often discouraged from attending school so they can panhandle for their family, which often live in a cinder block “house” the size of what most in the US would consider a shed. But Ocitti had “street cred” with the residents. He was their unofficial mayor. And there were informal soccer teams in the slum to draw from, as well as the insatiable desire to play soccer

financial aid We know that choosing a university is among the most important, most life-shaping investments you will ever make. And not just for you – for your entire family. To that end, remember that 97 percent of PLU students receive some kind of financial aid. That’s a lot. So is this number: $26,700. That’s the average financial aid package at PLU. #1 If you have a passion for the arts, there’s no better place PLU has a passion for the arts. Whether you are here for drama or music, there’s no

teaching English and hip-hop dance as a U.S. Fulbright Scholar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pj3cWagDQ74 Ford, the first in his family to attend college, recalls his three-month-long experience in Chengdu in his junior year as a time that a changed his perspective and certainly changed his life. In his other study away trip to Norway, Ford had not engaged the culture, but merely observed it, as an outsider. He didn’t want to miss the opportunity to jump feet first into an international experience

When Max Beatty threw the first pitch of the 2013 Pacific Lutheran baseball season opener to Concordia University batter Sheldon Austria on Feb. 4, it concluded one harrowing chapter in Beatty’s

fail me. Hill, the news director, practically leaps into the center of the room. “How’s everyone doing tonight?” she asks. “We’re doing our jobs — we’re journalists first, everyone. Let’s put on a professional and fair show!” Everyone here, myself included, needed to hear that. I walk into her office and ask for any words before we go. It’s not confirmed if Trump will be the next president, but chances aren’t looking good for Clinton. My team wants to get back to campus and call friends and family

pride … it was awesome and overwhelming hearing from so many people that night about how excited they were to work on things together. Being on the council is a team sport. Now that you have won, you have work to do! What are some things you are most excited to accomplish in your new role? I have a lot to learn quickly — about process and policy-making, and my new colleagues and how we’re going to work together. Figuring out a work-life balance for me and my family is part of that learning curve. I

our teachers in areas where kids lack access to technology, we try to get them to think outside of the box. For instance, one of my teachers is working on building out a habitat project where her students can watch TV to gather information, interview family members, and build a model using household supplies. She’s hoping to hold phone conversations with her students to learn about their projects. My kids’ district is also a good example. They’re making packets every two weeks and collecting the
