This past fall my wife and I had the distinct pleasure of taking a trip out to Georgia to visit with family and make a little film about their unique bird egg museum, The Avian Learning Center. Through the learning center, three generations of the Blevins family volunteer in their spare time to raise ecological awareness amongst local children through exposure to the wonder and beauty of bird biology.

'The C. E. Blevins Avian Learning Center's mission is to provide an educational experience based on the biology of wild birds. Making use of C. E. Blevins's collection of bird egg replicas, we will tailor our avian biology lessons to both the elementary and adult student. With the addition of outdoor interpretive areas, we hope to become a unique and enlightening resource regarding migratory birds.'

In 1918, as the First World War ended, a deadly new virus, which became known as the Spanish Flu, began to spread across Europe. If quickly infected a third of the world’s population, killing up to 100 million people in a single year, more than both World Wars combined.

In 2018, a brutal civil war together with a land and sea blockage, has driven up food prices and forced 18 million Yemenis towards malnutrition. Rates of malnutrition in Yemen are now 50 percent higher than before the war, and almost half of deaths in children under five are caused by a lack of food.
