<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.

<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.

The new, four-room school is made of mud, eucalyptus and cement.

<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.

<description><![CDATA[ (Nov 15, 2010) Long Lake native Anne Harrington was recently named Deputy Administrator for Defense Nuclear Non-Proliferation. It’s a wordy title. It means she and her staff at the National Nuclear Security Administration keep an eye on materials, outside the U.S., that could be used to make a nuclear weapon. For our occasional series, Moving the World, Harrington spoke with Jonathan Brown about starting out in the Adirondacks and working on global security in Washington D.C.

Robin Rhodes Crowell and her husband, David, own The World Artisan, in Potsdam.  They sell fair trade items made by artists around the world.

<description><![CDATA[ (May 21, 2010) The life of a deployed soldier is usually a mix of grueling activity and mind-numbing waiting.  There&apos;s very little free time for individual pursuits.  That&apos;s why Fort Drum specialist William Seo&apos;s actions are so remarkable.  The medic with the 3rd Brigade founded a not-for-profit while he was serving in Afghanistan last year.  Some Afghan colleagues are running it while he is back at Fort Drum.  Project Help Afghanistan sends things like shoes and school supplies to the war torn country.  And it&apos;s teaching Afghans how to read and write.  The group has raised more than a $100,000 in donations.  Seo told David Sommerstein the idea occurred to him as he met a lot of needy people at his clinic in Afghanistan.

<description><![CDATA[ (Jan 12, 2010) Frenchman Jeremy Marie is about halfway through his world tour. It&apos;s a slow trip. He figures it will take him five years, because he&apos;s hitchhiking, ride by ride, from his home in Normandy and back. The 25 year-old has been through Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. He crossed the Atlantic by crewing on a catamaran from South Africa to Panama. The it was north through Central America, Mexico and the west coast to Alaska and across Canada. Now he&apos;s thumbing his way south through the U.S. He’s ridden in cars, trucks, on tractors and donkeys. His budget is seven dollars a day, and he&apos;s slept on people’s couches, outdoors at gas stations in the middle of the desert — anywhere he can find a bed. This past week he&apos;s been on &quot;pause&quot; in the North Country, with home base in Canton. He says this is the coldest place he has been, but also one of the most hospitable. Martha Foley spoke with him after his talk at the Canton Rotary Club, on his first day in town.
