Crisis interventions often focus on a single aspect of a big, complicated problem, failing to address the broader social and economic context. Kwame Owusu-Kesse describes how the Harlem Children’s Zone is taking a more holistic approach to the pandemic, weaving together a network of services to help communities recover and rebuild. Learn more about their comprehensive COVID-19 relief and recovery response focused on five primary areas of need — and their plans to scale it across the US. (This ambitious plan is a part of the Audacious Project, TED’s initiative to inspire and fund global change.)

The TED Talks channel features the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design — plus science, business, global issues, the arts and more. You’re welcome to link to or embed these videos, forward them to others and share these ideas with people you know.

    THANK YOU FOR THIS VLOG.
    As the world becomes more wicked, violent, and vile we as people (and the Lord who created us looks at us all the same he only divides by saved and unsaved, by Jew and Gentile); he doesn’t look at us by the color of our skin he created ALL PEOPLE!! To hate someone due to the color of their skin is telling God the Mighty, Holy, and Righteous God he made a mistake. Need to put our trust in him and follow what he tells us as far as our time here. First of all the most important is salvation:
    John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
    John 3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

    What we are watching unfold is more than COVID, more than racisim, more than division, more than wearing the masks. The Lord tells us beware of the last days the following will be happening….
    2Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
    2Timothy 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
    2Timothy 3:3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
    2Timothy 3:4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
    2Timothy 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
    2Timothy 3:6 For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts,
    2Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

    Please the Lord tells us his children to go our into the world and give the truth, the gospel, and the greatest gift ever given.
    We do not know what a day will bring and we have sure seen proof of that over these last few months. The Lord will be calling all his children home, and we need to be trusting him. He warns us that man will let us down and we see that big time.
    He also tells us he will take care of the evil venegeance is his not ours. When we stand before him we will not be able to blame family, the blacks, the whites, the government, the local Pastor. He will judge us of our actions, our choices, how we spent this life he gave to us.

    WE NEED TO BE IN PRAYER DAILY FOR OUR COUNTRY, FOR THE LOST, FOR THE CHILDREN. WHAT WILL THE LORD SAY TO US INDIVIDUALLY ON JUDGEMENT DAY?

    1Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
    1Thessalonians 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
    1Thessalonians 5:19 Quench not the Spirit.
    1Thessalonians 5:20 Despise not prophesyings.
    1Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
    1Thessalonians 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
    1Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
    1Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

    Hello to the creator of the “TED” program, I am writing to you from Ukraine. I beg you not to close this channel: https: //www.youtube.com/channel/UCkVfFOzvocgJ9srm3lc6Qsw I really like to watch the speeches of the lecturers of the program “TED”, I do not understand English, and therefore I ask you to withdraw your complaint to the moderator of the above channel and as an alternative to choose mutual cooperation and development with the owner of this channel. Thank you very much for your attention)

    #TEDнарусском. Уважаемые авторы канала оригинального TED,не кидайте страйки на русскоязычный. Какова основная идея вашего канала – коммерция или просветительство? Если первое,то всё понятно,если второе,то зачем вы это делаете? Хотя,даже если коммерция это ваша основная цель,то каким образом у вас отнимают хотя бы часть денег? Те,кто смотрит TED на русском,в основной массе плохо владеют английским (как я,например),а русскоязычный канал на монетизирован и рекламы на нем нет,канал живёт исключительно на донатах. Те кто смотрит TED на русском к вам не уйдут по объективным причинам описанным выше, а если и уйдут это совсем ничтожное количество. Исходя из этого,даже в плане коммерции,с Вашей стороны совсем непонятны Ваши мотивы. Сделайте доброе дело,позвольте заинтересованным смотреть Ваш контент вместо глупых и бестолковых видосиков,коих полно на площадке. Очень надеюсь, что это кто-либо из авторов прочитает и хоть немного прислушается,а ещё лучше,если такое количество комментариев на русском языке повлияет на Вашу позицию.

      На русскоязычном канале каждый раз говорили про то, что это перевод с англоязычного «TED». И когда ты не владеешь в совершенстве английским, чтобы не концентрироваться каждый раз на словах или иностранном произношении, можно было послушать в переводе. Что же здесь плохого???
