OSV Innovation Challenge Ignites Fire of Innovation and Entrepreneurship in the Church with Upcoming Demo Day

HUNTINGTON, Ind., Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — A beacon of hope, innovation, and entrepreneurship in the Church shines brightly as OSV Institute prepares to award three $100,000 prizes as the culmination to their first-ever Innovation Challenge to be held at The University of Notre Dame on Saturday, August 29. This year-long process began last August when more than 350 Catholic entrepreneurs submitted applications for their «napkin idea» to be considered for the OSV Innovation Challenge, established in partnership with Catholic Creatives, Notre Dame IDEA Center, and SENT. Now down to 12 finalists, three will be selected by a panel of experts, investors, and fellow entrepreneurs to receive funding to support and grow some of the brightest ideas in the Church today.

«For more than 100 years, OSV Institute has been funding great organizations and initiatives in the Church,» states Jason Shanks, President of OSV Institute. «But times have changed, and so have the needs within the Church.»

More than just a contest, the OSV Innovation Challenge is an incubator experience for participants who aim to think beyond the status quo and to view the Catholic Church through the lenses of innovation and creativity. «We are not aiming to fund the next good idea, but to invest in people – emerging innovators and seasoned trailblazers – by forming a new generation of entrepreneurs who are not afraid to relook at how we encounter and evangelize through the Truth and beauty of the Catholic Church,» says Shanks. «The Church has always been at the forefront of great ideas – hospital systems, schools and universities, missions, shrines, and some of the greatest art known to man. This Challenge is a search for Catholic innovators with world-changing ideas.»

The idea for the Challenge was co-authored by OSV Institute and Catholic Creatives, a movement of Catholic designers, filmmakers, photographers, creative thinkers, artists, entrepreneurs, and others working to bring the gospel to the world in fresh, beautiful ways. Not only did OSV Institute pledge the initial three $100,000 prizes, they also sponsored a 10-week Notre Dame IDEA Center Accelerator Program for the 12 finalists, which began in June and integrated a custom curriculum and personalized coaching from world-class Catholic speakers, entrepreneurs, ministers, and artists, and spiritual support tailored for entrepreneurs. Finalists also received spiritual formation provided by SENT Ventures. Upon completion, finalists will receive a Catholic Innovator Certificate from the University of Notre Dame.

«Finalists have received ongoing professional coaching, business acumen, opportunities for spiritual growth, and peer-to-peer mentoring meant to form well-rounded individuals and organizations able to grow and thrive for years to come,» states John Henry, Director of Startup Programs at the Notre Dame IDEA Center. The OSV Innovation Challenge will culminate with Demo Day, hosted by the IDEA Center on Saturday, August 29, where finalists will present their honed pitches to a panel of expert judges who will award three $100,000 prizes. The prizes will be awarded as direct capital to support project completion.

«I think as Catholics we often hold a false dichotomy between faith and business,» comments finalist Dave Kang, writer, producer, and director with Ecce! Films. «By taking in the stories and wisdom of our guest speakers and the lives of the saints, I learned that faith and entrepreneurship do go hand in hand. There is a great both/and.»

To gain a better understanding of this game-changing initiative and its impact on the Church, media are invited to participate in Demo Day events virtually. Media will have the opportunity to interview finalists and OSV Innovation Challenge leaders on Friday and Saturday, August 28-29 via a virtual green room. Challenge winners will be announced Saturday evening and will be available for virtual interviews immediately following.

In 1915, Fr. John Francis Noll began the OSV Institute to extend the reach of Our Sunday Visitor in service and support of Catholic organizations. With over $80 million returned to Catholic organizations to date, the OSV Institute continues to serve the Church by supporting and encouraging innovative and effective Church-related programs and activities. Three areas of special interest for funding are Re-Captivating Millennials, Hispanic Experience and Supporting Parents. In 2017, the Institute expanded its reach to provide support for new innovation and to serve as an incubator for new efforts supporting the Catholic Church. Learn more at www.osvinstitute.com.

New York Sets New Standards For Drinking Water Contaminants

NEW YORK, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — The Law Firm of Napoli Shkolnik PLLC supports New York Governor Andrew M. Cuomo’s announcement regarding «forever chemicals» and 1,4-Dioxane. This is a first-in-the-nation drinking water standard for emerging contaminant…

Maximum contaminant limits (MCLs) were set at 10 parts per trillion each for Perfluorooctanoic acid («PFOA») and perfluorooctane sulfonate («PFOS») (collectively «PFAS») and 1 part per billion for 1,4-Dioxane. The MCLs for PFAS in New York’s drinking water are among the lowest in the United States.

We believe this is a strong first step in making sure the responsibility for this widespread water contamination lies not with the water districts or rate payers, but by the manufacturers of the chemicals who knowingly introduced these defective chemicals into the water.

The contaminants 1,4-Dioxane and PFAS substances have become the subject of widespread national public health concerns. These «emerging contaminants» are increasingly being discovered in the groundwater and drinking water supply throughout the country. Their extreme persistence in the environment, along with their toxicity, mobility, and bioaccumulation potential, pose probable adverse effects to human health and the environment.

All three contaminants have been detected in drinking water systems across the country, yet remain unregulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, which is responsible for setting regulatory limits under the federal Safe Drinking Water Act.

These new enforceable limits on 1,4-Dioxane, PFOA and PFOS will require all water systems in New York to regularly test and monitor for these chemicals, many for the first time, regardless of size. The regulations will go into effect as soon as they are published in the next State Register.

We support New York State’s commitment in addressing emerging contaminants in drinking water and encourage other states to take the same steps to mitigate this national threat in their community. These new standards lay a stronger legal foundation for us in our fight against the manufacturers of these dangerous chemicals.

Alight Produces Youth-led Radio Lessons To Bridge the Gap Between the Education Divide for Underserved Pakistani Children During Pandemic

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Many children around the world utilize high-tech devices as educational tools when they’re unable to attend class. However, children who don’t have access to this technology are often overlooked, leaving an already disadvantaged population even further behind due to COVID-19. Seeking a solution, global nonprofit organization, Alight, in collaboration with local educators and pillars in the community, is helping take education to the airwaves to bridge the gap between knowledge and accessibility across regions in Pakistan.

Collectively, the teams have developed a unique peer-to-peer education experience through radio segments that have a culturally relevant undertone and are hosted by students themselves. Alight has produced these programs, bringing curriculum to students unable to attend school during lockdown or access other education tools due to lack of resources.

«With one of the world’s highest populations of out-of-school children at 5.6 million, Alight’s work in Pakistan is designed around one guiding principle – boosting the potential of Pakistan’s next generation,» says Daniel Wordsworth, Alight CEO. «We are focused on removing barriers to education, so families are able to send their children – and particularly the female population – back to school.»

While the use of technology has enabled Alight to be on the cutting edge of humanitarian responses in so many ways, during these uncertain times they have found «old school» solutions, including radio, television and socially distanced, outdoor town square lessons, to be the greatest resources. For example, across the board, radio’s accessibility provides expansive reach and support to families and children that are often overlooked in migrant populations and in remote locations.

«Radio has been used as one of the most effective mediums of teaching the children, particularly during disasters, in Pakistan,» says Dr. Tariq Cheema, Alight Program Director in Pakistan. «Peer education methods help in improved results, progression, retention and improved peer support across diverse groups.»

The education programming has also opened the door to disseminating basic health and wellness messaging around cleanliness, nutrition, and a balanced diet. Teaching kids and families alike proper hand-washing, how to maintain physical distance, and the importance of wearing face masks in public places, creating vital awareness to help stop the spread of COVID-19.

ABOUT ALIGHT
Established in 1978 by founder Neal Ball, Alight, formerly known as American Refugee Committee, provides health care, clean water, shelter, protection and economic opportunities to more than 3.5 million people in 19 countries each year. Alight believes in the incredible creativity, potential, and ingenuity of the displaced and works to shine a light on their humanity, the tremendous amount of good that’s already happening and the possibilities to do more.

La violencia armada se agudiza y genera desplazamientos masivos en la frontera entre Colombia y Venezuela

PR Newswire

NUEVA YORK, 03 August 2020

NUEVA YORK, 03 August 2020 /PRNewswire Policy/ — Los grupos armados organizados que operan en la frontera entre Colombia y Venezuela, sobre todo en la parte que colinda con la zonas rural y metropolitana de Cúcuta y con Tibú, han escalado los enfrentamientos en su disputa por el control de la economía ilícita y el territorio, generando el desplazamiento de más de un millar de personas en las últimas seis semanas, señaló la Oficina de la ONU para Asuntos Humanitarios (OCHA).

De acuerdo con los datos de un nuevo informe, en lo que va de 2020 se han cometido cinco masacres, tres de ellas en julio, cuatro líderes sociales han sido asesinados y se han registrado cinco desplazamientos masivos de población, tres de lo cuales se originaron desde Venezuela.

El documento indica que esto ha ocurrido pese a que la Defensoría del Pueblo había advertido en una alerta temprana del “grave riesgo de la población civil por posibles enfrentamientos entre miembros del ELN y el grupo armado los Rastrojos, así como combates de estos con el Ejército Colombiano, generando afectaciones en civiles por quedar en medio del fuego cruzado”.

Las personas desplazadas este año hasta el momento suman 1019 e incluye a 325 venezolanos, además de 82 indígenas Wayúu y 45 adultos de la tercera edad.

OCHA señaló que entre los desplazados más vulnerables se cuentan los niños y adolescentes, que representan el 34% del total. También especificó que el 26% de los desplazados son mujeres.

Desplazamientos y pandemia

El estudio prevé que seguirán registrándose desplazamientos en la frontera de Colombia durante los próximos días debido a que los enfrentamientos armados no cesan.

Apunta, asimismo, que la población desarraigada no podrá regresar a sus comunidades mientras que las autoridades no le garanticen un entorno seguro y digno.

OCHA subrayó que la emergencia que suponen los desplazamientos se desarrolla en el contexto de la crisis sanitaria ocasionada por la pandemia de COVID-19, lo que implica riesgos adicionales y dificultades de acceso de las instituciones del Estados y las organizaciones de asistencia.

Informó que las agencias de la ONU y sus socios humanitarios colaboran con las autoridades locales para atender a los desplazados y han enfatizado la urgencia de distribuir pertrechos básicos de protección contra el coronavirus como tapabocas y gel desinfectante, además de garantizar el suministro de agua potable para los albergues temporales.

Recomendaciones

La Oficina de la ONU reconoció la rapidez con la que activaron sus planes de contingencia las alcaldías de Cúcuta y Tibú; sin embargo, llamó a fortalecer las capacidades de las autoridades locales en cuanto a las rutas de atención a emergencias humanitarias con afectación a población mixta (colombiana y venezolana) en el departamento.

Recomendó, por otra parte, una mayor coordinación con el gobierno departamental para garantizar una respuesta humanitaria integral, pertinente y veloz.

OCH reiteró la necesidad de prevenir los conflictos entre las personas desplazadas provenientes de distintas comunidades alojadas en los albergues improvisados, así como de su resolución pacífica cuando los haya.

Pidió también la protección específica a los líderes sociales al considerarlos más expuestos en el marco de la emergencia.

Finalmente, instó a implementar protocolos de bioseguridad en los alojamientos improvisados, donde la población se encuentra hacinada.
