Superheroes in the sky.

Heroes soaring super high.

Batman, Superman, they save us from schemes.

But they’re not heroes

Heroes work behind the scenes…

Hi, LOVE, HALLIE family:

This is our once a year request for a financial contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, and I hope you will consider it.

Hallie’s words at age 10 speak loudly to us now, in this uncertain time when we’re all wondering “what can I do to make a positive change? How can I be a hero?”

There are so many challenges and so many opportunities. How do we choose? And what can we do?

LOVE, HALLIE’s mission has always been about inspiring and providing practical tools for young people to find their path to creating change.

Working with an all volunteer team, LOVE, HALLIE continues to take this on in three ways:

ChangeSpace In partnership with Culture Lab LIC, we are creating a safe, physical space that we hope will be replicated around the world where people who want to be change agents can:

Find inspiration

Learn about causes

Engage with others

Build their skills

Amplify their stories

Connect creativity to their changemaking

Carpe Diem We are using Hallie’s story, words, and art to inspire change agents through

• Books
• Video
• In-person Presentations & Performances
• Exhibits

Hallie’s Angels Our youth-led action groups choose the causes they want to address and decide how to address them to make a better world.

Your financial contribution will enable LOVE, HALLIE in 2025 to conduct ChangeSpace programs at Culture Lab, including the 2025 Better World Festival, to support the creation of additional Hallie’s Angels chapters (we’re excited about the one blossoming at P.S. 11 in Queens!), and to find publishing, distributing, broadcasting, creating, presenting partners to continue to share Hallie’s inspiring messages of love, empathy and action. On that last front, we are delighted that all 64 Queens Public Library branches will have Hallie’s book The Earth, illustrated by Casey Conselmo, on their shelves in 2025.

We make a lot happen with a little – every dollar you contribute by clicking https://lovehallie.networkforgood.com/projects/241513-lhf-2024-campaign or by mailing your contribution to LOVE, HALLIE, 41-15 46th Street, 6S, New York, NY, 11104 makes a profound difference!

Thanks to all of you who have volunteered. There are always many roles to be filled –  let us know if you’d like to play!

Here’s the final line of Hallie’s Superheroes poem —

Heroes aren’t about Batman — 

Who’s a hero? I am!

Stay hopeful, keep loving, and “do something special” every day!

Carpe diem and love,

Ted

New York –

SDG Global Group (SDG) and Sustainable Alliances and Initiatives for Africa (SIA-Africa) are pleased to announce a strategic collaboration for driving investment into sustainable projects in Africa.

The initial focus of the collaboration is on the agriculture, fintech, digital finance and related sectors. These are key areas where investment, technology and expertise are required for promoting sustainable economic growth and development and where international businesses and investors can add value and participate in the continuing rapid growth.

SDG and SIA-Africa are developing a digital platform to serve investors, businesses, entrepreneurs and specific communities in Africa. The platform will provide data on projects, markets, businesses, and other information to enhance the understanding of the rising opportunities in Africa, and bridge the gap between businesses and investors from around the world and their counterparts in Africa.

Simon Littlewood, CEO of SDG, said: “There is increasing interest in investing in and conducting business in Africa, and from Africa businesses in finding international partners and markets. Currently there is a lack of trusted information, which is hampering business and investment. Our collaboration aims to address that gap.”

Nene Kodjoe, Founding Chair and CEO of SIA-Africa, said: “Sustainable impact investments in Africa is very key to our mandate. We are delighted to partner with SDG Global, their vision and reach is to be commended and we look forward to a successful campaign.”

About SIA-Africa: sia-africa.org
SIA-Africa’s mission is to support initiatives that impact education, health, city planning, trade and economic investments, by matching resources with needs and opportunities. Their goal is to facilitate the delivery of direct impact investments and encourage the youth of Africa to embrace ethical governance, entrepreneurship, science, ICT, technology, engineering and electrical connectivity.

It facilitates action by helping partners connect, collaborate, and invest resources in the communities. We ensure that the projects we support can sustain themselves financially and environmentally. SIA-Africa Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization focused on developing sustainable global alliances to transform education, healthcare, technology, economy and policy across Africa.

About SDG Global – www.sdgglobalgroup.com
SDG is an investment, consulting and advisory group that focuses on investing in and building scalable business in the sustainability sector. The SDG management team has been operating in the sustainability sector and Emerging Markets since the 1980’s. The team has a track record in direct investment, fund management, advisory and capital markets globally, across a wide range of industry sectors. It is highly experienced at bridging the gap between the requirements and expectations of international investors, organizations and businesses, and the realities and difficulties of operating in emerging markets.
In order to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, SDG is building a global network of funding platforms, investment products and partners to meet the urgent need to address climate change by providing the know-how to access unprecedented levels of capital globally for sustainable investment with positive development and returns.

A Call for World Peace By Master Hong TAI

Peace is a magnificent word but also tiny
Peace is a state of both near and far.
People who live in peace cannot feel its weight.
But those who lost peace see it as an unreachable dream.

If I can, I hope that no one in the world have to
bear the heaviness of lost peace.
If I can, I hope peace is like a body of a healthy human being.
Building the spirit of everyone in the world and
Nourishing their longing soul.

Peace should not be the magic wand of conspirators.
Peace should not be left in the dream of war.
Peace should be cherished by everyone.
Peace should become a pursuit and a belief,
A belief in or human self-salvation.

our Chaotic world needs peace.
Peace is a neutral and great voice.
She represents the interests of all.
she embraces all beliefs and carries them all.
She will be transformed into a variety of voices.
And these voices will eventually be attributed to peace
Because peace is the love of the source.
Peace is the spring of life and a sweet dream.
Peace is our bright shinning sun,
Peace will be turned into faith
Filling every dark and damp corner,

To save the past and avoid future crisis,
We call for a lasting peace for generations.
We will chase the pace of peace endlessly
If peace does not return to its place someday,
That is the day for all of us
to continue our fight for peace!

1. Pingtang Telescope, China

The Pingtang telescope was completed in September 2016, becoming the world’s largest radio telescope in the process.
Its dish measures more than 1,600 feet across and is capable of capturing signals more than 1,000 light years from earth.

2. Gotthard Base Tunnel, Switzerland

The world’s longest and deepest rail tunnel became operational in December 2016. It is 35 miles long, took 17 years to construct, and lies 6,500 feet below the Gotthard Massif, a mountain range within the Swiss Alps.

3. Panama Canal, Panama

The original Panama Canal, which was constructed more than 100 years ago, is one of the Modern Wonders of the World, but a century of progress meant that it had to be widened. Some 40,000 workers worked on the expansion project, and the completed canal opened in 2016 at a cost of $5.4 billion.

4. The Bride Skyscraper, Iraq

Who ever thought such a proposal would be possible? The 3,779-foot-tall “Bride” skyscraper is proposed for construction in Basra, Iraq.

If the name sounds familiar, it’s the site of the first battle of the 2003 US invasion.

The design is covered with solar panels, so the skyscraper will be able to power itself. It will also be the world’s tallest building if (when?) completed in 2026.

5. Jiaozhou Bay Bridge, China

This 26-mile-long cross-sea bridge is the longest of its kind in the world, stretching almost 26 miles out into the open ocean.

When it opened, it cut the travel time for people traveling between east China and the island of Huangdao in half.

6. Itaipu Dam, Brazil

Completed more than 30 years ago, this hydroelectric dam produces more power than any other in the world.

In fact, its energy generation is so large that it supplies Paraguay with 75% and Brazil with 20% of their energy needs respectively.

7. Crossrail Project, London

The largest construction project ever undertaken in Europe will see 10 new train lines added to the existing London Underground system,

and 30 existing stations connected via brand-new tunnels. It will begin service in 2017, and be in full operation by 2020.

8. Hyderabad Metro Rail, India

This railway system marks the first time that communication-based train control will be implemented in India.

With three brand-new metro lines for the city of Hyderabad, the network is set to open in 2017.

9. Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, China

More than 42 million people live in China’s Pearl River Delta, and this gargantuan project will link its three major cities,

namely Zhuhai, Macau and Hong Kong, via a series of bridges and underwater tunnels. It will open to traffic in December 2017.

10. Mall of the World, Dubai

The proposal for the largest mall on earth comprises more than 48 million square feet of enclosed, air-conditioned luxury in the middle of the desert.

As part of the design, the largest indoor game park in the world will be constructed, as will 20,000 hotel rooms to cater to the 180 million annual visitors

that the development is expected to receive when completed in 2029.

12. Riyadh Metro, Saudi Arabia

This $23.5 billion rail line will boast a flagship station designed by world-famous architect, Zaha Hadid.

Operation is scheduled to begin in 2019, and the railway will have 109 miles of railway on completion, revolutionizing how the residents of Riyadh get around.

13. Songdo Smart City, South Korea

Built on 1,500 acres of reclaimed land along the waterfront of the South Korean city of Incheon, this smart city

was completed in 2015. Home to some 67,000 residents, it has near-comprehensive internet access and offers a taste of future urban life.

14. South-North Water Transfer Project, China

The Chinese have set about moving some 45 billion cubic feet of water from the mighty Yangtze River in the south of the country,

to the more arid industrialized north. They will do so via three canals and have spent some $79 billion on the project thus far.

15. Sognefjord Submerged Floating Tunnel, Norway

Perhaps the most intriguing of all the projects on this list is a Norwegian proposal for building a $25 billion submerged

floating tunnel beneath the Sognefjord, the largest Fjord in Norway, which is 3,000 feet wide and 4,000 feet deep.

This radical tunnel will be the first of its kind in the world if the vision is realized.

16. Urban Renewal Project, Turkey

Turkey has incredible ambitions for renewing its urban areas. Over the next 20 years, the country plans to demolish more than

7 million buildings and build earthquake-resistant, modern structures in their place.
The colossal cost of all this is estimated at $400 billion.
