Lauren Hostovsky: As you may or may not know, only two percent of Deaf people worldwide have access to education in sign language. How are Deaf children supposed to learn?
Many Deaf and Hard of Hearing children the world over do not have access to education, often because they are viewed as mentally challenged, unimportant, mute. This appeal is about making the world a better and safer place for Deaf children everywhere, but specifically in a very special place called Monze, Zambia.
In the village of Monze, Zambia, we are trying to build a school for over 60 Deaf and Hard of Hearing children whose parents and guardians have no resources to give them the proper education, health care and adequate living conditions needed to ensure their survival. We want to build a school in which to instruct and house these children, but also to create the kinds of self-sustaining projects that will be necessary to keep the school up and running once it has been constructed.
The Zambian government does not care about these children, and their parents are often uneducated and helpless. There is currently only one teacher working with the children of Monze, Zambia. Her name is Lisa Zahra, and she has been working tirelessly to provide appropriate education and protection for these Deaf and Hard of Hearing children.

Road rage can lead to altercations, assaults, and collisions that result in injuries and even deaths. It can be thought of as an extreme case of aggressive driving.
The rules of the road are present to ensure that people get to where they need to go safely, but sometimes those rules get broken. Whether by accident, or on purpose, the result can be ugly: tempers flare, fists fly, and occasionally things get out of control. The end result is totally priceless!
Millions people have watched hundreds of clips posted on the internet. While most road rage incidents usually end peacefully, not all do. Here are extreme examples captured on film from all over the world ... and one not-so-extreme one!
There, the absence of effective law enforcement coupled with booming sales of dashboard cameras has led to a surge of videos with scenes like these being posted on the internet.
Indeed, shocking footage of road rage rampages have become the latest form of entertainment in a country where the state has so much control of what is put on social media and television.
Road rage madness, the worst case of road rage we've ever come across was caught on camera by an innocent driver who found himself the target of a madman from the Southwest Australia.
On the footage you can hear the sound of the man punching Olsen's window as he drives off. He is yet another victim of the increasing number of road rage incidents which are turning quiet suburban streets into bitumen battlefields; where angry drivers are lashing out against other road users in unprovoked attacks.
But the madness was far from over. Olsen still didn't know if he was out of danger, even though the man appeared to be hurt, so having been rammed at least seven times and barely able to see though the windscreen, he continued driving to the nearest police station.

Meanwhile in Russia... Road rage Russian style, in America, Britain, and Canada such terrifying episodes of road rage would be almost impossible to imagine but not in Russia - is way too intense. Even a cursory search on YouTube for 'road rage' reveals hundreds of clips and many of them are Russian.
How motorists settle their scores with guns, bats and axes in Russia. The clips showing armed drivers confronting each other being cut up or other lapses in driving etiquette have been watched by millions of Russians.
It is impossible to verify whether all the footage is all genuine. Undoubtedly, some will have been staged, but much appears to be real. Drivers say the root of the problem is corrupt policing and a failure to crack down on those involved in road rage and other motoring offences.
The most popular clips, shown on sites such as ru-chp.livejournal.com, are the road rage incidents, where - despite weapons occasionally being brandished - most involve old-fashioned fistfights. Source
