Making Peace on Earth Possible | Maryknoll Sister Rosemarie Milazzo has added the role of 'peacemaker' to her resume.

Our Divine Earth | In the light of a growing awareness of the earth's fragility, the Maryknoll Sisters were compelled to make a radical decision to dedicate their resources in Baguio to alternative environmental education, so they created the Maryknoll Ecological Sanctuary.

Famine In The Horn Of Africa | For people living in "the Horn of Africa", Somalia, Kenya and Ethiopia, 2011 was the driest year since 1950. No rain has meant no food and that has sent torrents of the starving into refugee camps in Kenya. The Voices team traveled to Kenya recently to report on this ongoing disaster. Today we talk with Robert Anthony Woods who is working in the epicenter of famine relief. Tony is the Chancellor of the Diocese of Lodwar, a town in Turkana County, an area quickly becoming a desert. | 4/15/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

The "Latino" Voter | Despite all the rhetoric emphasizing equality and our "exceptionalism" as a nation, our political debate often seems to be hijacked by the view that each constituency or ethnicity has its own separate needs and concerns, especially Latinos. We examine this issue with our guests the co-hosts of Maryknoll's Spanish language radio program Voces de Nuestro Mundo Francisco Suarez and Karen Cooper, and the editor of Revista Maryknoll David Aquije. | 4/8/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

America Beyond Capitalism | While your interest in the Occupy movement may have grown ice cold, it is a statistical probability that you too are part of the 99%. Job and money-wise, it is still tough out there and change is needed but that change is not inevitable. The change most of us want to see can happen, if the 99% of us collectively invent an economy that rewards the majority, the workers. Listen to our interview with professor of Political Economy at the University of Maryland and author of America Beyond Capitalism, Gar Alperovitz. | 4/1/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

For The Girls, For The Future | Raised on the Serengeti plains in a cow-dung dwelling called a boma, Rebecca had been promised in marriage, and her father had already received his cows as her dowry. But Rebecca wanted to continue studying rather than become a wife, and with her mother's blessing, she was sent to the Emusoi Center for Pastoralist Girls near the town of Arusha, Tanzania. Emusoi was started by the Maryknoll Sisters to help educate just such girls and our guests are Maryknoll Sisters Mary Vertucci, Maureen Meyer, and Jeri Stokes. | 3/18/12 | Free | View In iTunes |

Cruelty Kills | Despite anti-bullying laws enacted in 47 states and numerous ad campaigns, more than 4000 teens and pre-teens kill themselves each year as a result of bullying. 14 year-old Jamie Rodemeyer shot himself after reading an anonymous post online which read, "Jamie is stupid, gay, fat and ugly. He must die." Our guest today has a lot to offer on the subject of kid on kid cruelty. He is a Martial Arts Instructor and a school lecturer on his counter-cruelty program www.TheKidsAreUnited.com.

Not So Innocent | Throughout the history of the United States, children and the concept of childhood itself have always been highly politicized.
