New friends from five different African countries and the United States have kept in touch via email and data-sharing sites. Not long ago, I participated in a training event in Uganda. Participants in the training came together from five different countries in East Africa. I have stayed in touch with a few of them; we share pictures, audio recordings of the training sessions, video, and links to news stories via email discussing events in our respective countries.

arrow icon. Hallelujah Moment from Haiti: Hope in the Midst of Poverty 
Solar ovens help alleviate deforestation; they also reduce air pollution thereby reducing the risk of some lung and eye diseases associated with tending cooking fires.

I remember the painstaking way in which sinew and fat were removed from the "goat parts" and laid out in the solar ovens on a barren field in preparation for cooking.

arrow icon. Singing With Creation 
The Spiritual Image Choir of South Hayward United Methodist Church in California sings during a morning worship at the 2008 United Methodist General Conference in Fort Worth, Texas. I remember how I started to cry--on the subway during rush hour--one winter day in the mid 1990s. I could not stop the tears from coming to my eyes. It was remarkable, because I started to cry over a loss of something that I didn't even know existed! I had just read a small article in the daily newspaper about the phenomenon of "singing sand," which appears in many parts of the world, be it sand by the shores of the world's seas or in remote deserts.

Welcome to 2009, a new year, a new quadrennium, and a new look for New World Outlook! As I prepared this issue for press, I realized that 2009 marks New World Outlook's 99th volume—that's 99 years of uninterrupted publication. We hope to continue to make improvements to the print publication over the course of this year and to update New World Outlook's online edition as well.
