Message from the Honorable Robert A. Underwood, Chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus 106th Congress Hafa Adai. As Chairman of the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus (CAPAC), I am pleased and honored to welcome you to the CAPAC Web site. This Web site provides a forum for the Caucus to share its many interests, actions, and events with the public. The Asian Pacific American (APA) community is a diverse one. From Southeast Asian Americans (such as Cambodian, Vietnamese, Hmongs, and Laotians) and Pacific Islanders (Chamorros, Native Hawaiians and Samoans) to South Asian Americans (Indians and Pakistanis) and East Asian Americans (Korean, Chinese, and Japanese), our community boasts the most diverse minority group within the nation, comprised of both immigrant and indigenous populations. This diversity presents a challenge to policy makers at all levels of the government. Since its formation in 1994, the Caucus has played an important role in bringing to the forefront issues of concern to Asian Pacific Americans. Through an establishment of a network with other Congressional members, the Caucus has been able to express our concerns on issues, mobilize for change, and effect policy through legislation, and influence decisions made in the Executive Branch. This year, the Caucus has continued to grow stronger. We’ve strengthened our relationships with community organizations by working with national and community organizations. One of our most visible accomplishment is the

FROM CHARITY TO SOLIDARITY? LATIN AMERICAN PHILANTHROPY IN CHANGING TIMES By Cynthia Sanborn Yet, how realistic are these expectations? Now that the economic boom in many countries has turned to bust, will private philanthropy dry up as well? Is the concern for corporate social responsibility reflected in sustained business practice, especially when owners and their workers fall on harder times? Do the younger generations of wealthy Latin Americans give away more or less than their forebears, and do they do so in more strategic ways? Are poor communities today better able to tap new sources of external support, as well as pool their scarce resources for addressing local needs? Beyond Noblesse Oblige? such as private schools and universities, recreational and social clubs and the fine arts. These are all worthy endeavors, and represent patterns of giving similar to those in the U.S. and other wealthy countries. However, in societies with such severe disparities and such limited public sector resources and capacity, this pattern is of greater concern to policymakers and civil society leaders. It also presents an obstacle to obtaining the tax incentives and favorable legal regimes that many philanthropists call for. Nonprofits, Communities and Volunteers

A Two-Way Street: Outreach to the Community and Access to Lombardi It would be easy to assume that Lombardi's cancer education and community outreach programs would be a one-way street - faculty and staff reaching out to the greater Washington D.C. community. However, that is not how Lombardi defines it. Under the leadership of Jeanne Mandelblatt, MD, MPH, Associate Director for Cancer Prevention and Control, and Robert Warren, MD, Director of Clinical Affairs, Lombardi builds partnerships with community organizations and agencies that already serve those communities. However, they also may bear the greatest burden of cancer and may have the fewest resources to reduce its impact. In addition to going out and meeting with the community in their own backyard, Lombardi is finding new and innovative ways to assist community members to access Lombardi research and service programs. In many medically under-served communities, seeking preventive or treatment services at a prestigious health care facility may seem impossible. However, Lombardi is facilitating access to care at Lombardi and access to Lombardi cancer prevention, early detection and treatment research trials. Among the Lombardi outreach programs that serve this function are: Cancer Screening and Education.

Home Declaration About the Institute Past Participants and Planning Committee Institute Program About the Social Change Across Borders Summer Institute Background Information on the Program The Origins of Social Change Across Borders The focus of the 2002 Institute Background Information on the Program Social Change Across Borders is a project which seeks to bring together grassroots leaders from both Latin America and Latino/a communities in the U.S. The Summer Institute curriculum is designed through the collaborative effort of faculty, staff and community leaders to provide the participants with extra training and education as well as the time to reflect on the large global policy trends that affect their work. The Institute builds on the recognition that: The rise of internationalization and immigration has led to an increasing set of linkages between Latin Americans and U.S. Latinos. Organizing within U.S. Latino communities now requires a full understanding of the repertoire of cultural and political values immigrants bring to this rapidly growing, demographically shifting population. Similarly, the return flow of people, goods, and ideas has also altered the social and cultural landscape of Latin America. At the same time, the internationalization of the economy has had worrisome impacts on wages, social welfare, and community development on both sides of the border. Governments and businesses have often failed to offer adequate responses, increasing the importance of a "third sector" consisting of community based organizations (CBOs) in the U.S. and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in Latin America. Going beyond traditional political divides, these grassroots organizations are pursuing new strategies for economic opportunity, social justice, community consolidation, and cultural self-expression.

Costa Rica has not escaped from the kinds of social-economic problems that plague the rest of the region. It has a long-standing tradition of democracy and its previous President, Oscar Arias, won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1987 for his achievement in finding peaceful resolutions to area conflicts. However, the current economic crisis has created stress on the country's social fabric. There is an increasing crime rate, more children are abandoned, there is more deforestation and the standard of living for the average Costa Rican has lowered. All of these problems have resulted in the formation of organizations and government actions which attempt to address the issues. In many cases, it ispossible for Friends World students to get involved with, contribute to, and learn from these projects. "One child dies of disease or hunger every minute, but in the year 2000 there will be 650 million Latin Americans, half of whom will be under fifteen: a time bomb. Among the 280 million Latin Americans of today, 50 million are unemployed or underemployed and about 100 million are illiterate; half of them live in crowded, unhealthy slums."

MTN History The Minneapolis Telecommunications Network is an independent nonprofit organization founded by the Minneapolis Mayor and City Council in 1983. Our history began with the arrival of cable television in our city. Minnesota State law required that a cable franchise contract exist between the city and the cable company and that the franchise support community television. Minneapolis took advantage of this and required that the cable company provide operating, capital equipment funds and channel space for public use. The first company to offer cable service was Rogers Cablevision in 1983. The current franchise holder in Minneapolis is AOL Time Warner Inc MTN is a non-profit organization governed by nine Board Members appointed by the Minneapolis City Council and Mayor and three Ex Officio Members representing the Minneapolis Public Schools the City of Minneapolis and AOL Time Warner Cable. MTN began operating in the Lehman Center on East Lake Street in South Minneapolis. MTN's first Co-Executive Directors were Will Leow-Bloesser and Carol Bannister. In 1990 Anthony Riddle replaced them and in 1995 Pamela Colby took over and remains Executive Director today. In 1990 we moved into the St. Anthony Main complex along the Mississippi River on Historic Main Street. We currently occupy 10,000 square feet of space that includes a large checkout area, two studios, a public lounge area, a computer lab, ten edit suites, two classrooms, a conference room and ten offices. Our playback facility remains in the AOL Time Warner building at 801 Plymouth Avenue North.
