A whale shark breaks the surface while waiting for a tidal delivery of

area will alternate between ram and suction feeding, to hoover and
filter their planktonic food from the water column.
Whale sharks have roamed the oceans for 60 million years, yet we

SCHOOL FOR LESS FORTUNATE
07 November 2012
New Delhi, India
Every morning, children from nearby slums arrive in small
groups, barefoot and carrying mats and brooms and start cleaning a
portion of a land under a metro rail bridge, which will be their school for
the rest of the morning. Rajesh Kumar Sharma, along with his
friend, founded the free school for underprivileged children under a metro
bridge a year ago. He teaches at least 45 children every day. Sharma, a 40-
year-old father of three from Uttar Pradesh, India's most populous
state, was forced to drop out of college in his third year due to financial
difficulties. He didn't want other children to face the same difficulties, so
he decided to start the free school. He persuaded local laborers and
farmers to allow their children to attend his school instead of working to
add to the family income. He prepares these children for admission to
government schools and hopes to equip them with the tools necessary to
overcome their poverty. Millions of dollars are given to fund the education
of poor children in India, however it often doesn't reach them because of
56
corruption and arduous administrative procedures .

14 August 2012
San Salvador, El Salvador
An anti-gang police unit searches for gang members. Many in El Salvador remain skeptical that the truce will stick, noting that young men in poor neighborhoods lack alternatives and there is no
easy way to lure them off the streets.
They had faced off many times before, on the streets, with guns in their hands. But when top leaders of two of the hemisphere’s most violent street gangs sat across from one another in the stifling
63
air of a maximum security prison, the encounter had a very different aim: peace. With a military chaplain and a former lawmaker officiating, the imprisoned gang leaders held a moment of silence
for the thousands of people their street armies had killed. After a few more meetings — and the government’s concession to transfer 30 of the leaders to less-restrictive conditions — they shook
hands on a pact to put an end to the killings. The truce endures in El Salvador, long one of the most violent countries in the Americas. With 30,000 to 50,000 members and weaponry that includes
February 24, 2013
assault-style rifles and grenades, the two gangs are virtual armies that have the power to affect the security of the entire region — and they have used it to terrorize populations still weary from
years of civil war and instability.

armed only with Kalashnikov rifles face the loyalist army and its tanks
and aircrafts. According to the United Nations, more than 60,000 people
have died in Syria’s 22-month-old civil war.
