In a land of opportunities and dreams, Micronesians are the smallest migrant group to be had in the United States. Here in the State of Hawaii, they have become the fodder for jokes and racial bashing simply because we come from societies and cultures where questioning authorities is unheard of. Besides the language barrier (the region of Micronesia has over 23 languages and numerous dialects), cultural mis-matches have resulted in large numbers of elementary and secondary school Micronesian students being at the bottom of the totem pole and being put into ESL/ELL classes if not into special education classes. The cultural miscommunications have resulted in Micronesians being incarcerated simply because they kept saying “yes” without really have an interpreter present. This is especially true with the island groups of Marshallese and Chuukese.

Hi mark:
I´ve been trying to get a photo of poor children working in here for more than a week (children of 3, 4 years old and so on) but i cant, i feel like i´m taking advantage of them and in last moment i just cant take the photo. It´s heartbreaking when u see a little children sleeping in the floor right next to you in a market while you are eating, it´s heartbreaking when u see then asking for money, controlled by their parents that cant realize that school its a better futuru for them...and queretaro it´s one of the best cities to live in mexico, imagine what the situation is in other areas.
The problem its so spread that i cant take an specific photo of an area, this is a huge, huge problem in mexico...

[Kansas City, Missouri, USA]The problem is totally being fixed already, but:
Recently, a local church, which had been already suffering some hard luck, got struck by lightning; a major chunk or more of masonry fell off and landed through the roof and also fell to the ground, killing a local man who had been avoiding the rain. It was a tragic thing. Now the street is blocked off almost completely for repairs, and so that no one else gets hurt. There is one nice ending, though: our synagogue, which is right down the block, is now host to the church's worship services and other community meetings. So we are neighbors, all!
We are very very sad about the man's death. The church roof, as well, has a gaping hole!

Here's my one sentence (well actually two) about something that's
wrong with my community:
"Desperate, displaced people who arrive on our shores, endure long,
traumatic months in detention, and finally gain refugee status can
still be thrown back inside and kept there indefinitely without being
officially charged, going to trial or having the right of appeal; for
security reasons that are never even revealed to them. They are
effectively political prisoners, and rare is the voice in Australian
public life that is raised in outrage at their treatment."
That OK?

Solution: Place (augment) Shira's notepaper to Netanyahu over his official residency in Jerusalem
Background: On June 2011, Etgar Keret, an Israeli writer accompanied Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, on a diplomatic trip to Rome. His wife, Shira asked him to deliver Netanyahu a notepaper saying:
“Mr. Benjamin Netanyahu, I beg you do everything in your power to bring peace, for the sake of the future of our children and yours. Thank you, Shira.”
Keret did not deliver the notepaper.

- Hi Mark,
We have this somewhat stupid problem in our smallish city of Leyden, where seagulls started living in the city and breeding on the flat roofs of buildings. This way they live near ample food supply in the form of garbage bags they easily tear apart and keep safe from predators like the fox which started frequenting their natural habitat, the nearby sand dunes at the sea shore.
This is seen as a problem because of the litter caused by torn apart garbage and the loud noises the birds make.
Now there are two obvious solutions which neither work in practice.
1. Shoot the seagulls or otherwise get rid of them. This is not an option because the seagull is officially a protected species under Dutch/EU law.
2. Stop putting garbage out in weak plastic bags on the sidewalk at random times but gather it in underground containers. This won't work because of lack of involvement or general disinterest with many inhabitants.
This is of course not a big problem but something many people can get very agitated about and the most stupid fact is that the situation is unchanged like this since the twelve years I live here now.
This random article is from 2006, the situation is unchanged:

Japan has been pursued for capitalism and the welfare state at the same time but it's shifting to more like individualism rather than people helping each other. I am worried about the people who are in the weak position. The Japanese tsunami and earthquake made us one at that time but seems like it's fading and now the most serious problem is about energy source. We should talk more about radioactive to get rid of the fear in the public. I am concerned about that the priority of the government is seems like an immediate profit..

There are many, many problems facing the people of Mexico.
The immigrates and their family in Mexico suffer because of distance and time. The separation and different living conditions create problems between the people in Mexico and the immigrants in the US. The living conditions are so different that the next generation, my daughter, has a lot of difficulty going back home when go back once a year.
I watched my parents live under very very bad conditions and said I don't want my kids to grow up like this.
I can kind of agree with drug dealers. This is their only chance to get ahead. They grow up and see how their parents live and suffer. I saw these people digging in lots of garbage. They dig very deep holes into the garbage looking for simple things. They life in houses made out of carton There are no opportunities, the government hordes them all. This new president, he cheats. He spent millions buying the ballot cards so when the people travel 6 hours from the country side to vote they are told there are no mare cards to voe with once they get to the voting center.
I sleep thinking one day I will go home. I know this is not just my thought its the thought of millions of people in the US.
A problem facing the Brooklyn community is the taxes and cost of living. In Mexico when u buy land you own it and can do what ever u want. In Brooklyn if you buy it you still don't own it. You can't do anything with out permits which the city often will not give to you. In Mexico you can plant a tree and chop it down if u want. Here you can't do any of this with out permission from the city.
At least here government in the US helps the people a little. They give my daughter a subway card to travel to school which is 15 stops from where we live. In Mexico, nothing. There are no jobs, in the city. How can you move if there is no money...
