Global Activism—Stateless Biharis in Bangladesh
Syed Kamal—President, Stateless People of Bangladesh,an organization that assists stateless Biharis in Pakistan trying to get citizenship in Pakistan or Bangladesh
When Bangladesh gained independence from Pakistan, the Bihari minority group wanted Pakistani citizenship. There are as many as 500,000 stateless Biharis. More than thirty years later, neither Pakistan nor Bangladesh will recognize them as citizens. This often means they can’t get jobs, travel, or access education. Syed Kamal is working to get citizenship and legal recognition for this community.

Cooking with the Sun
Paul Munsen—President of Sun Ovens International
Two billion households worldwide cook over open flames on a daily basis. Smoke inhalation puts their own and their children’s health at risk. Many risk assault or stepping on a landmine when searching for firewood. And in many countries, deforestation has made finding wood more and more difficult. Paul Munsen hopes to provide an alternative through solar cooking. His company Sun Ovens International has brought solar ovens to 126 countries.
