  • Morningside Heights: Shopkeepers & Immigrants February 22, 2010
    A bundled paper on top of a cart outside the newsstand on 116th + Broadway Jamal is from Bangladesh.  His daughter is nine years old. Her name is Sabrina, and he laughs when you tell him that nine is a good age, because the teenage years always have a bit of struggle for independence; right now [...]
  • From Colombian Sugarcane to Candy: A Glimpse into a Micro-finance Project December 13, 2009
    Remember Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood when we would sometimes get to see where things came from — the factories, the workers, the process behind the product, from crayons to fortune cookies? That was exactly what the visit with micro-finance firm, Contactar, was for me: a glimpse into where a common good originates. From harvested sugar cane [...]

  • Salad is not Salad in Pasto and India: Pass the leaves, please! October 31, 2009
    This is the Ceasar Salad from the only known Mexican restaurant in Pasto, Colombia.  A family friend of Mario’s, my generous and beautiful host was not quite sure what to do with it. She had traveled to the U.S. to visit her sister; she’d been to cities I’d never seen.  She commented that North Americans [...]
  • On the Outskirts of Pasto: Community building in one of the most diverse cities in Colombia October 19, 2009
    Another timely rant on why I am a sap for Pasto and what that has to do with China and midterms . . . It was all, once again, oddly familiar: people from a bigger, outside organization (in this case, UN-affiliated) came to speak in an area where few foreigners venture.  It was not unlike, [...]
  • When Pasto, Colombia looks a lot like . . . China. Really. October 13, 2009
    View Larger Map My dear Pastuso friend, Mario, is going to faint when he reads this. No one — until now — would posit that Pasto is anything like China. I cannot recall seeing a single person of East Asian decent — let alone Chinese — there.  I last lived in Beijing, which is a far cry [...]
