A DREAM FOR EVERY CHILD
WHAT IS INCAWASI?
Incawasi is a non-profit organization founded in March 2005 by a team of
local and foreign volunteers in the Andean city of Cajamarca, Peru. Our aim is
to break the cycle of poverty that affects so many families in Peru by fighting
the perpetuation of social inequalities. We pursue this goal by offering
children from very poor backgrounds the educational and health support which the
local government cannot provide. Incawasi offers as many children as possible
the opportunity to continue improving their education and professional training.
We strive to offer them the resources necessary to improve their
socio-economical situation, and therefore that of their families.
We currently work with forty children between the ages of 7 and 16. These
children come from overcrowded, extremely poor, and mainly female-headed
households located in the rural and marginal urban areas of Cajamarca. These
families lack the economical means to offer their children an education, daily
meals and medical attention. Incawasi provides these services with the
conviction that only an approach that integrates education, health and social
work can effectively improve the situation of these families.
For more information, please check our website: www.incawasi.org.pe

Breakthrough Institute Announces 2010 Summer Fellows Program with Focus on
Climate and Energy, and National Security and Counterterrorism
The Breakthrough Institute, a leading public policy think tank, is
seeking up to ten of the country's top young analysts, writers, and thought
leaders for a paid fellowship in Summer 2010 as part of its young leaders
initiative, Breakthrough Generation. Fellowships are highly competitive -- in
2009, 5 percent of applicants were accepted -- and involve cutting-edge writing,
research, and analysis on energy/climate and national security/counterterrorism
issues. Breakthrough Fellows have published in the Harvard Law & Policy
Review, San Francisco Chronicle, Baltimore Sun, and the Huffington Post, and
their projects have been cited in the New York Times, Newsweek, Time Magazine,
the Financial Times, and the Wall Street Journal, among others.
For 2010, Breakthrough Fellows will divide into an energy and climate
team and a national security team, which will work closely with Senior
Breakthrough Institute staff, including Michael Shellenberger and Ted Nordhaus,
Breakthrough's founders and two of Time
Magazine's Heroes of the Environment 2008. Energy and climate fellows will
focus on quantitative and qualitative analyses of the global energy economy and
policies designed to decarbonize the economy and make clean energy cheap and
abundant. The national security fellows will focus on scientific analyses of the
terrorist threat and policies to prevent terrorism.
Potential topics include:
* Analyzing various clean energy technology pathways, their potential
to contribute to energy and climate objectives, and policies to spur their
adoption.
* Developing energy technology and innovation policies capable of driving
price and performance improvements to make clean energy cheap and abundant.
* Examining clean energy economic competitiveness and its implications
for national economies.
* Examining the relationship between energy efficiency and economic
growth, and the role of energy efficiency measures in climate mitigation
policies.
The Breakthrough Institute has a history of reinventing older political
paradigms with big ideas. In 2002, Breakthrough co-founded the Apollo Alliance
and the New Apollo Project for clean energy, which is one of President Obama's
main priorities. In 2004, Shellenberger and Nordhaus wrote "The
Death of Environmentalism", an essay that triggered a national debate about
the future of environmentalism and interest group liberalism. Their 2007 book,
Break Through:
From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility, was
called "prescient" by Time Magazine. Wired Magazine said "the book could be the
best thing to happen to environmentalism since Silent Spring." Breakthrough's
climate and energy analysis has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, The
New York Times, and the Los Angeles Times. Most recently, the Breakthrough
Institute was profiled on National
Public Radio for their work promoting an investment and innovation centered
framework for addressing climate change.
The Breakthrough Institute succeeds by tapping cutting-edge progressive
thinking, sharp analysis, and superb communication to create and advance ideas
capable of achieving the broad social and ecological transformations America and
the world need.
Fellowships pay $300 per week and are awarded to individuals aged 18-25
who will be closely involved with Breakthrough's high-level work. Activities and
projects include writing short articles and op-eds, researching and writing
policy white papers, and conducting interviews with the nation's top political
and policy experts. Fellows will work 40 hours per week for ten weeks during
Summer 2010 from Breakthrough's central office in Oakland, CA.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume or CV, and three writing
samples to Devon@thebreakthrough.org <mailto:Devon@thebreakthrough.org>.
In your cover letter, please indicate why you are interested in working with the
Breakthrough Institute, making reference to Breakthrough's policy work, the
"Death of Environmentalism" essay, and/or Break Through. If you are interested
in applying and your library does not have a copy of the book, please notify us
and we will send you a copy free of charge. In your application please indicate
if you are interested in participating in the climate/energy track or the
national security track. Applications are due by 5:00PM PST on March 15th, 2010.
Writing samples should include at least one oped-style piece and one research
paper (these do not have to be published). Personal recommendations are welcomed
but not required.
Here is what a few of Breakthrough Generation's previous summer fellows
had to say about their experience working with the Breakthrough Institute:
"The Breakthrough Generation fellowship may be the single most positive
influence on my young adult life." Danny Spitzberg (MS Candidate, Sociology,
University of Wisconsin-Madison)
"What I enjoyed the most were the sharp, creative and ambitious
individuals I was given the opportunity to work with and learn from, the ideas
and issues we tackled together, and the strong sense of cohesion that I felt in
the team from day one and throughout the entire fellowship." William Oman (MPA
Candidate, London School of Economics).
"The Breakthrough Generation Fellowship was many things to me, but first
and foremost it was always a learning experience and a challenge." Johanna Peace
(BA, Sociology, Wellesley College, Class of 2009).
