7. Poverty Matters
The Guardian’s Global Development Blogosphere. It pulls together blog posts from several partners including DFID, ODI, Global Voices, From Poverty to Power and Texas in Africa etc. The great thing about this blog is that it has a wide audience and therefore you get lots of comments. These comments can often be more interesting than the actual blog post.

Mary Albert Introduction
Hi my name is Mary Albert. I am a junior here at Penn State with a major in Community, Environment, and Development. I discovered this major last year and loved how it focuses on a sustainable future.
Hello CED230!
My name is Thomas Klinikowski and I am a junior at Penn State
majoring in Community and Environmental Development (CED). I am a local meaning
I was born and raised in State College, PA, so I've been a Penn State fan long
before I started attending this school. I am really interested in not only
international development, but domestic development as well. When I graduate
from Penn State I either plan to enroll in grad school, or join the peace
corps. I would really like to study abroad in a developing nation with the
hopes of gaining some skills in bringing communities together before I graduate
and enter the real world. I would really like to work with struggling
communities in the United States as my profession, but only time will tell what
I actually get involved in! Taking CED230 is another step in the direction I
want to head in life, and I am very excited to be a part of the coarse. I have
a feeling that this course will be very beneficial in providing me with the
right information I need to learn about the ways different communities operate
across the globe. Outside of school I enjoy skateboarding, playing guitar, as
well as listening to many different genres of music.
Student Introduction: Jenelle Joseph
Hello everyone! I am Jenelle Joseph. I am currently a senior
majoring in Community, Environment and Development on the International
Development option. I also have two minors in International Studies and Global
Health. Thus far, I’ve studied abroad in South Africa and Mexico. Next
semester, I will be studying abroad in London and Jamaica. I am interested in
community health and community development in the Caribbean region. I believe
that this course would give me the opportunity to learn about development
issues on a global scale. With a wanderlust spirit, it is important for me to
know and understand the challenges that various countries and cultures face.
Robert Krohe Introduction
My name is Robert Krohe, my major is Community Environmental Development with a focus in Community Economic development. Throughout this class hope to gain better understanding of how communities interact with one another in a international setting. The reason I am in the CED major is because I plan on working with the Christian church and this major seemed to be the most viable with this goal.
At Penn State I am the Vice President of the Gaming association of Penn State, and the treasurer of Westminster Presbyterian Fellowship. The gaming association is the board game club at Penn State and WPF is a faith based fellowship group that meets once a week on Wednesdays where we have a good meal and talk about faith in the college world.
