Nugget 17: Lend a Hand
Warm your hearts on this chilly November morning with a Good News Nugget!
Morgan and Emily appreciate the balance between the beauty of winter and the mind-numbing cold. Emily is working on her cozy sweater game (and winning) while Morgan made a friend during the pandemic!
The Good News Gals appreciate *blips* of human interaction (following all pandemic restrictions) in the days of COVID.
In this episode:
· The women in Kandahar, Afghanistan are hitting the gym. In this conservative city, women are discouraged from taking control of their own bodies. Good News, the women are improving their physical and mental health in secret (safely).
· The extraordinary Maestro João Carlos Martins and the tool (affordable bionic gloves) that allowed him to play the piano once again. Two pieces of a puzzle reconnect in this wholesome story. Watch the joy of a musician reunited with his other half.
· The president of Macalester College in St. Paul, MN is using her power and privilege to fight injustice. Dr. Suzanne Rivera has (again) offered to cover bail and any other fines for Macalester students arrested for "civil disobedience" who can't afford to pay! Check out @Macalesterpres on Twitter to see more from this great leader.
· In a three-part story you won’t want to miss, Emily talks about E-Nable. This organization consists of a global network of volunteers who use their 3D printers, design skills, and personal time to create free 3D printed prosthetic hands for those in need. Their goal is to provide free prosthetic hands to underserved populations around the world.
· The L.A. County Board of Supervisors approved a motion calling for county counsel and other staff to report back with “options for removing or impeaching” the elected sheriff, Alex Villanueva. This win is the first step in a hard-fought battle. Los Angeles your voices are being heard. Local organizing groups have been hard at work to make sure people in positions of power are being held accountable for their actions, resulting in a safer LA for all Angelenos.
