Rebuilding the Village
World Vision Report , 05:24

Indonesia has experience in dealing with disaster. It's been more than three years since a tsunami swept away entire coastal communities in Aceh, Indonesia. Most survivors have been provided with homes, running water, schools and hospitals, and many international aid agencies are starting to end their tsunami relief programs. But rebuilding a community requires more than just physical infrastructure. The very essence of society -- its people, culture and traditions -- have to be revived. That's not an easy task in villages that lost a lot of their women and children. Orlando de Guzman reports.

 

Panama Hats
World Vision Report , 05:20

Clark Gable wore one in Gone With the Wind. Peter O'Toole just bought one. They're Panama hats. They're called Panama hats because people wore them while building the Panama Canal. But the best Panama hats come from Ecuador where weavers will spend three-months making just one hat. They can cost thousands of dollars, but most of that money goes to the retailers, not the weavers. A retired US advertising executive says he has a plan to create more demand for the hats and pay the best hat weavers a decent wage. It?s a combination designed to get more money for the weavers. Mary Stucky reports from the central coast of Ecuador.

 

Joy Village
World Vision Report , 05:20

It's a smelly, undignified and debilitating condition that causes women injured during childbirth to leak uncontrollably a trail of urine and feces. The condition known as Fistula was all but wiped out in the West by the late nineteenth century with the development of Caesarean section deliveries. But in sub-Saharan Africa up to three million women and girls live in shame and isolation because of poor health facilities and the stigma linked to the condition. In the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa, one private hospital is dedicated to reconstructing the organs of fistula victims and re-building their shattered lives. For those whose injuries are too severe, the long road to recovery begins in a haven of peace and tranquillity known as Joy Village. Richard Lough reports.

World Vision Report - Show 227
World Vision Report , 28:00

This week, the World Vision Report takes you to an Indonesian village that's on the mend after losing all but 15 of its women. That story, an update on china and Myanmar, and the fine art of making Panama hats -- all this week on the World Vision Report.

High Tech versus High Touch: Printmaking in the Digital Age
Nicole P. , 17:30

The digital is expanding the definition of the print and creating a complex relationship between artists, their work, and the tools they use to create it. But as the tools and venues for generating digital content become increasingly affordable, and offer faster and easier ways to make images, what will continue to draw artists to the field of printmaking? This radio piece is a conversation with printmakers across generations: they discuss their relationship to traditional and digital forms of artmaking and where they envision the field of printmaking heading.
