“We are actually in a classic depression. A depression is when nobody wants to spend. Everybody wants to pay down their debt at the same time. Everybody is trying to pull back, either because they got too far into debt, or because if they’re a corporation, they can’t sell because consumers are pulling back. The thing about an economy is that it fits together. My spending is your income. Your spending is my income, so if we all pull back at the same time, we’re in a depression. The way to get out of it is for somebody to spend so that people can pay down their debt, so that we don’t have a depression. So that we have a chance to work out of whatever excesses we had in the past, and that somebody has to be the government.”

"Fight the Flames of Ignorance"
The Life Ball is one of the biggest AIDS charity events in the world and an internationally unique ball. One question that keeps being asked at the Life Ball this year is if we all can expect or look forward to another 20 years of this grand event. My answer is, I certainly hope not; if it continues, it means that there has been no guaranteed cure for those infected. Lest we forget, the Life Ball is an exuberant festivity with extraordinary performances that year after year celebrates life and makes a loud and sounding statement in the fight against HIV and AIDS – resounding far across the boundaries of Vienna and Austria. In this way the event sets an example of tolerance and sends the signals of solidarity to society and the whole world. Yes, we are all here to celebrate life, but we are also here to raise funds for a cure for those infected with what is still today a life-threatening illness. I hope the in the near future our global medical leaders and research specialists are able to save those who are infected and put a stop to its spread for current and future generations. People sometimes focus on what they can’t do and forget that it is all the little things they can that are the most important on holding a real impact on the world. Everyone deserves a reason to get up in the morning and be happy; let’s fight to find a cure for those in need and give them a reason to wake up each day and celebrate the gift of life. Together we can all save the world, even if that world is one person’s.

Fundación Operación Sonrisa, Panamá
I have only just recently returned from a volunteer medical mission to Panama with Operation Smile. Work with Operation Smile is a completely life altering experience and an organization I am truly passionate about and grateful to be a part of. This mission was different from my last to Cairo, but just as remarkable - the one major difference from being in Panama versus most other countries is the fact that Panama is self-sufficient (there is a fully trained, local medical staff that my sister and I were volunteering and working along-side with).
It is incredible and truly inspiring to be with so many unique individuals who have come together for the greater good of helping others and saving lives one smile at a time. I fell in love with every single child there on my mission - I never knew my heart could hold so much love before joining Operation Smile and spending so much time with these wonderful, beautiful children and families.
