<title>Moving the world:  from child soldier to community servant </title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/20112/20120710/moving-the-world-from-child-soldier-to-community-servant</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Jul 10, 2012) In our occasional series, Moving the World, we meet people who share their skills, expertise and resources with communities around the globe. Ricky Richard Anywar has survived his share of trouble. At 14, he was abducted by Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda and forced into slavery as a child soldier. His family was killed by the LRA. But Anywar escaped two years later. Despite what he calls an “interrupted childhood,” he earned a college degree. That led to work with the Ugandan Ministry of Education. For more than 10 years he has worked to give back to his native Uganda by empowering and reintegrating former child soldiers.Anywar is founder and executive director of “Friends of Orphans,” or FRO, which pays the school fees for former child soldiers and young mothers. It runs vocational programs, counseling groups, and HIV/AIDS clinics. Clarkson University is working with FRO to help establish a community-based radio station. A group of Clarkson business students visited Uganda and the site for the proposed radio station in May.Todd Moe spoke with Ricky Richard Anywar last week during his visit to Clarkson. He was on campus to speak to students and faculty about rebuilding war-ravaged northern Uganda.

<title>Moving the world: empowering a knowledge of economics</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17712/20110525/moving-the-world-empowering-a-knowledge-of-economics</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (May 25, 2011) Our Moving the World series continues as we talk with a Canton man who volunteers with the U.S. Agency for International Development.  Alan Leo recently returned from Ghana where he worked with a group of farmers on organizing their day-to-day operations and the economics of farming.  Leo, who grew up on Long Island, has been doing international development work for more than a decade, and his volunteerism has taken him all around Africa, Asia and eastern Europe.  He told Todd Moe that his travels and overseas work have taught him that people are the most important part of economic development.

<title>Moving the World: Sharing a love of music in Cuba</title>
<link>http://www.northcountrypublicradio.org/news/story/17081/20110202/moving-the-world-sharing-a-love-of-music-in-cuba</link>
<description><![CDATA[ (Feb 2, 2011) Although it’s just 90 miles from Florida, Cuba maintains closer diplomatic relations with Canada than the United States. Today, about half of Cuba&apos;s tourists are sun-starved Canadians.  Tomorrow, a group of Ontario musicians heads to the Caribbean. Members of the Manotick Brass Ensemble, in partnership with a local Cuban church, will visit Cuba for a series of free concerts. The Canadians are also donating musical instruments to a group of students in Cuba.Lucy Martin spoke with one of the group&apos;s founders about the trip. Kazimier Samujlo says Cubans don&apos;t need any help when it comes to making music. But, he says, between the U.S. trade embargo and Cuba&apos;s own economic woes, it’s tough to find decent band instruments.
