18、s training and credit programs have become more common throughout the world,relatively little attention has been paid to the need to direct such opportunities to young people.Even less attention has been paid to children living on the street or in difficult circumstances.Over the past nine years,Str
19、eet Kids International has been working with partner organisations in Africa,Latin America and India to support the economic lives of street children.The purpose of this paper is to share some of the lessons and our partners have learned.Background Typically,children do not end up on the streets due
20、 to a single cause,but to a combination of factors:a dearth of adequately funded schools,the demand for income at home,family breakdown and violence.The street may be attractive to children as a place to find adventurous play and money.However,it is also a place where some children are exposed,with
21、little or no protection,to exploitative employment,urban crime,and abuse.Children who work on the streets are generally involved in unskilled,labour-intensive tasks which require long hours,such as shining shoes,carrying goods,guarding or washing cars,and informal trading.Some may also earn income t
22、hrough begging,or through theft and other illegal activities.At the same time,there are street children who take pride in supporting themselves and their families and who often enjoy their work.Many children may choose entrepreneurship because it allows them a degree of independence,is less exploita
23、tive than many forms of paid employment,and is flexible enough to allow them to participate in other activities such as education and domestic tasks.Street Business Partnerships has worked with partner organisations in Latin America,Africa and India to develop innovative opportunities for street chi
24、ldren to earn income.The Bicycle Courier Service first started in the Sudan.Participants in this enterprise were supplied with bicycles,which they used to deliver parcels and messages,and which they were required to pay for gradually from their wages.A similar program was taken up in Bangalore,India
25、.Another successful project,The Shoe Shine Collective,was a partnership program with the in the Dominican Republic.In this project,participants were lent money to purchase shoe shine boxes.They were also given a safe place to store their equipment,and facilities for individual savings plans.The Yout
26、h Skills Enterprise Initiative in Zambia is a joint program with the Red Cross Society and the Street youths are supported to start their own small business through business training,life skills training and access to credit.Lessons learned The following lessons have emerged from the programs that a
27、nd partner organisations have created.Being an entrepreneur is not for everyone,nor for every street child.Ideally,potential participants will have been involved in the organisations programs for at least six months,and trust and relationship-building will have already been established.The involveme
28、nt of the participants has been essential to the development of relevant programs.When children have had a major role in determining procedures,they are more likely to abide by and enforce them.It is critical for all loans to be linked to training programs that include the development of basic busin
29、ess and life skills.There are tremendous advantages to involving parents or guardians in the program,where such relationships exist.Home visits allow staff the opportunity to know where the participants live,and to understand more about each individuals situation.Small loans are provided initially f
30、or purchasing fixed assets such as bicycles,shoe shine kits and basic building materials for a market stall.As the entrepreneurs gain experience,the enterprises can be gradually expanded and consideration can be given to increasing loan amounts.The loan amounts in programs have generally ranged from
31、 US$30-$100.All programs have charged interest on the loans,primarily to get the entrepreneurs used to the concept of paying interest on borrowed money.Generally the rates have been modest(lower than bank rates).Conclusion There is a need to recognise the importance of access to credit for impoveris
32、hed young people seeking to fulfil economic needs.The provision of small loans to support the entrepreneurial dreams and ambitions of youth can be an effective means to help them change their lives.However,we believe that credit must be extended in association with other types of support that help p

43、June 1991,the power of volcanoes past and present again hit the headlines A Volcanoes are the ultimate earth-moving machinery.A violent eruption can blow the top few kilometres off a mountain,scatter fine ash practically all over the globe and hurl rock fragments into the stratosphere to darken the
44、skies a continent away.But the classic eruptioncone-shaped mountain,big bang,mushroom cloud and surges of molten lavais only a tiny part of a global story.Vulcanism,the name given to volcanic processes,really has shaped the world.Eruptions have rifted continents,raised mountain chains,constructed is
45、lands and shaped the topography of the earth.The entire ocean floor has a basement of volcanic basalt.Volcanoes have not only made the continents,they are also thought to have made the worlds first stable atmosphere and provided all the water for the oceans,rivers and ice-caps.There are now about 60
46、0 active volcanoes.Every year they add two or three cubic kilometres of rock to the continents.Imagine a similar number of volcanoes smoking away for the last 3,500 million years.That is enough rock to explain the continental crust.What comes out of volcanic craters is mostly gas.More than 90%of thi
47、s gas is water vapour from the deep earth:enough to explain,over 3,500 million years,the water in the oceans.The rest of the gas is nitrogen,carbon dioxide,sulphur dioxide,methane,ammonia and hydrogen.The quantity of these gases,again multiplied over 3,500 million years,is enough to explain the mass
48、 of the worlds atmosphere.We are alive because volcanoes provided the soil,air and water we need.B Geologists consider the earth as having a molten core,surrounded by a semi-molten mantle and a brittle,outer skin.It helps to think of a soft-boiled egg with a runny yolk,a firm but squishy white and a
49、 hard shell.If the shell is even slightly cracked during boiling,the white material bubbles out and sets like a tiny mountain chain over the cracklike an archipelago of volcanic islands such as the Hawaiian Islands.But the earth is so much bigger and the mantle below is so much hotter.Even though th
50、e mantle rocks are kept solid by overlying pressure,they can still slowly flow like thick treacle.The flow,thought to be in the form of convection currents,is powerful enough to fracture the eggshell of the crust into plates,and keep them bumping and grinding against each other,or even overlapping,a
