The Handle
Mission: At The Handle, our goal is to provide fresh perspective, analysis, and discussion of national and international events and issues. Our ultimate goal is to educate our readers, provide a forum where they can share, and highlight the quality of our contributors. We provide a happy medium with relevant discussion, we empower and inspire, and most importantly, we share what matters to us.
Description: The Handle Magazine is an independent web-magazine started in spring 2012 when a group of like-minded college students formed an online media venture as an avenue to provide analysis of life, politics, and culture in America with an emphasis on their relation to the Southeast.

A girl stands in front of a broken chalkboard at a school in Pyechal, a mountainside village in the Department of Sud-Est, Haiti. She participated in a UNICEF-supported programme to promote local, sustainable solutions for improved sanitation to prevent the spread of diseases and illnesses, such as cholera and diarrhoea.

Haiti and its approximately 4.3 million children continue to recover from the 12 January 2010 earthquake. Progress has been substantial: a new national government is in place; about half of the mounds of rubble have been cleared; almost two thirds of those displaced by the quake have moved out of crowded camps; and the country’s health, education and other core services are being rebuilt on a stronger foundation. Still, the country remains a fragile and impoverished state, requiring international support. Working with multiple international and national partners, UNICEF continues to address the emergency needs of children, while focusing on building the Government’s capacity to uphold and sustain children’s rights.

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Audrey Hepburn sits amidst severely malnourished children at a UNICEF-assisted feeding centre in the town of Baidoa, Somalia.

Ms. Hepburn completed a four day tour of Somalia and northern Kenya on 24 September, 1992 - visiting UNICEF-assisted feeding centres and primary health care facilities in Mogadiscio, Kismayo, and Baidoa - to bring world attention to the plight of children and women there.

Currently, there are over 1 million children in Central and West Africa facing a nutrition crisis similar to what Ms. Hepburn witnessed in 1992. To learn more and to see how you can get involved, please visit: http://www.unicef.org
