World View Index: September 2002

    Clip Description
    September 11 - the world changed, or did it?
      Perhaps the real changes are internal, not external: greater love for our families, and greater faith in God as our ultimate protector.
    Twice in a lifetime
      World Vision helped Jenny Fernandez as a poor child in Ecuador. Forty years later, it helped her family again when her husband lost his job at the World Trade Center.
    Clean up at ground zero
      In record time, the U.S. cleared away the rubble of the World Trade Center – one piece at a time. That’s how we should tackle AIDS.
    Rebuilding the American dream
      The U.S. is a beacon of hope around the world. Immigrants were among those who saw their dreams crumble in the aftermath of September 11.
    Leaving the fantasy for a higher calling
      Two brothers have given up promising sports career to serve their country in the Army. Are we listening for the higher calling God has for us?
    September 11 - one year later
      World Vision New York Director John Clause reports on changes to his city.
    Too many blank spaces
      While he mourns a son lost in the World Trade Center, Paul Kim helps other Korean-American families recover from their losses.
    The lesson of the Marshall Plan
      Our country’s “greatest generation” didn’t just win World War II; it helped former enemies and allies alike rebuild a stable Europe.
    Food crisis complicated by AIDS
      Children with no parents, and adults who are weakened by AIDS, are especially at risk to starvation in Southern Africa.
    The blessing of clean water
      It may be a ruse when our kids ask for hall passes to go to the drinking fountain, but lack of clean water is a serious issue for millions around the world.
    School lunches
      American kids can get a third of the calories they need each day for about $1.50. Around the world, 177 million children don’t get the calories they need to grow healthy and strong – some not even to live.
    A chance to learn at their own pace
      Brazil has six million children who are disabled; few receive the help they need at school. World Vision sponsorship is helping 600 children learn at their own pace.
    Learning is easier with a friend's help
      Volunteer tutor helps dyslexic Seattle girl.
    Riding for hope
      This month in Southern Africa, bike riders are saving lives by spreading information about preventing AIDS.
    Thanking God for work
      Seems ironic to call this holiday Labor Day, when most of us spend it relaxing.
