Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

Fighting continues in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo, but in the parts where M23 rebels have control, they are telling residents that they are not bad people and are there to liberate them. United Nations agencies warn fierce fighting between M23 rebels and Democratic Republic of Congo troops in and around the eastern city of Goma is creating a protection crisis of huge proportions. Egyptians marked the 14th anniversary of the January Revolution of 2011 with nostalgic longing for its unfulfilled promises and lingering questions about how to rekindle the momentum for democracy and social justice short of another uprising.…

UN agencies warn the surging violence in eastern DRC and the risk of an imminent attack by the M23 armed group on Goma will have a catastrophic impact on hundreds of thousands of civilians.

US President Biden and Qatar's prime minister announced separately that Israel and Hamas reached a multiphase ceasefire deal for ending the war in Gaza. VOA's Carol Van Dam asked Edmund Ghareeb, a Lebanese-American scholar at the Washington Institute for Peace and Development whether the delay means the ceasefire could be in serious jeopardy.…
