Global Issues and Citizen Voices — a Canadian mother of two talks about child labor in Congo, a woman in California remembers her Vietnam veteran brother who died from the effects of Agent Orange, a counselor and adjunct professor from Colorado who had never written on international political issues chimes in on Venezuela President Hugo Chavez.
