18 May 2023 Elaine Chan ShelterBox -Innovation, Listening and Learning - Updates and case studies of recent efforts. May 18, 2023 Shelter Box is a cutting-edge charity that delivers emergency shelter for families devastated by disaster. It was founded in Cornwall, UK in 2000 and continues to operate out of that region. The US Affiliate is in Santa Barbara, CA. They are project partners with Rotary International. Shelter Box’s mission is to create positive, lasting change in communities at home and all over the world. In 2012, ShelterBox became Rotary International’s first Project Partner in disaster relief. By working together with Rotary, Shelter Box collaborates and combines resources to ensure that they can support more communities in desperate need of shelter after disaster. Shelter box also has partners in the field such as: International Federation of Red Cross (IFRC) and Habitat for Humanity. They work with many global humanitarian aid agencies, including United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), International Organization for Migration (IOM), Amnesty International, UNICEF, and Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders). These networks, rooted in communities, help Shelter Box go the last mile to deliver a diverse range of emergency shelter aid to remote and vulnerable people. The signature ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits contain the tools to transform lives and rebuild communities. It is driven to reach more people, to empower them to transform their lives, and to build a world where no family is left without shelter. The need for emergency shelter is urgent. As of 2022, around 100 million people around the world have been displaced by disaster and conflict – more than ever before. Over 80 million were forcibly displaced due to conflict and 30 million due to disaster. Every minute, 25 people are forced from their homes due to conflict. In 2022, we responded in 10 countries, providing shelter aid to 400,000 people.

01 Jun 2023 Wen Chen, Ph.D. Current China and US Relationship Jun 01, 2023 Wen was born in China at the end of the Great Cultural Revolution. Being the victim of this horrific atrocity that killed two million intellectuals and destroyed traditional Chinese culture, Wen's parents had mixed feelings about her education. Despite their discouragement, Wen eventually won a national prize at a science competition when she was 16. Hence, she went to a top university for undergraduate study and then came to the U.S. in 1994 for graduate school. Wen received a Ph.D. in Biology at the California Institute of Technology in 2000. Because of her personal experience of being brainwashed in China, she decided to be a voice for the voiceless. Since 2012, she has given hundreds of presentations to community organizations about Chinese culture, history, and society. Wen has been working for Caltech since 2000 as a biologist and information scientist. Her everyday work includes scientific outreach by speaking at conferences and seminars at universities. In her personal life, she is an active member of Amnesty International, focusing on human rights in China. She serves as a board member and community liaison for Caltech Women in Biology and Biological Engineering.

15 Jun 2023 Lowell Wyse, PH.D. Tacoma Tree Foundation Jun 15, 2023 Everyone loves trees! They make our cities beautiful, clean the air and water, help us de-stress, and give us shade and cooling in the summer. So why is Tacoma's urban forest struggling? Why do some neighborhoods have more trees than others? And what can we do about it as a community? Lowell Wyse will share about the efforts of the Tacoma Tree Foundation to bring trees and shade to the Tacoma communities that need them the most. An English professor turned urban forest advocate, Lowell Wyse, Ph.D., is the executive director of the Tacoma Tree Foundation. For over a decade, he taught college writing, literature, and environmental humanities, focusing on the many ways that social and environmental issues overlap. His scholarship resulted in the book Ecospatiality: A Place-Based Approach to American Literature, published in 2021. In 2016, he founded a community group called Tacoma Needs Trees, to call attention to the urban forest crisis in Tacoma, where tree coverage is the lowest of any city in Western Washington. He now lives in downtown Tacoma (Puyallup territory).
