Donor-funded infrastructure projects may focus on construction and neglect longer-term sustainability. Engaging local communities has been proposed as way of inducing ongoing maintenance by facilitating coordination and a sense of ownership, but there is little evidence on its effectiveness in practice. We analyse data from inspections of 103 landslide hazard mitigation drains in Saint Lucia several years after construction. We conclude that community participation at the beginning of the project, by accessing local knowledge, is associated with improved construction quality, but appears to have no impact on subsequent maintenance, suggesting that contractual provision for maintenance may be required.

An Indonesian adaptation of the classic tale of Little Red Riding Hood. This is a tale about a boy named Little Blue who ventures into the Sumatran Jungle and encounters a most cunning and tricky tiger. These young authors hope to raise awareness about the situation of the critically endangered Sumatran tiger on the island where they live.

''Altruism born of suffering'' (ABS) predicts that, following an adverse life event such as a health shock, individuals may become motivated to act pro-socially. However, this has not yet been examined systematically. Using data from the United States Panel Study of Income Dynamics, we find that a health shock does not lead to a general increase in pro-social behaviour. Instead, ABS is akin to a specific shock that affects giving to health charities, with an increase in the probability of giving and amounts donated to health charities coming at the expense of other non-religious charities.

A foundational principle for this study is that the Christian family has the nature of a domestic church because it participates in the ecclesial and sacramental reality of Christ''s nuptial covenantal with the Church, the "great mystery" of Ephesians 5:32. St. Therese''s life and thought help specify the quality of the child''s witness in the midst of this "great mystery." She discovered the essence of spiritual childhood in an attitude of trusting confidence. She also discovered her own vocation to be love in the heart of the church. Children are love in the heart of the domestic church by embodying and enfleshing the fruitful love of the nuptial covenant of their parents and of the church. They demonstrate the attitude of trust and confidence necessary for all Christians who receive God''s covenantal promises.
