Even if this article does not belong directly to the realm of Latino affairs, it is a good reminder of the painful times non-profit organizations -many of which stand for Latinos- are going through with a slow down in their donation income.
Gates is the one rich guy I always had as an example of smart giving. I know and was a part of his foundation work with libraries and Latinos around the country -Spanish Language Outreach at http://www.webjunction.org/spanish- which brought a wealth of information and library action to this community.
However, this is one more sign of the times we live in! A few people in charge of the nation's destiny instead of the vast majority of people in charge of their own destiny.

Latinos Account for Half of U.S. Population Growth Since 2000
Since 2000 many Latinos have settled in counties that once had few Latinos, continuing a pattern that began in the previous decade. But there are subtle differences in Hispanic settlement patterns in the current decade compared with those of the 1990s. The dispersion of Latinos in the new century has tilted more to counties in the West and the Northeast. Despite the new tilt, however, the South accounted for a greater share of overall Latino population growth than any other region in the new century. Read how projections for this century put Latinos in the "hot" list.

These two articles show Bolivia’s struggle to maintain its sovereignty under the government of Pres. Evo Morales. The first article describes the perverse relationship of “give and take” with the United States government on the coca production.
An interview with Pres. Morales himself, the second article describes the efforts of an indigenous majority to be represented in government for the first time in history.
Despite the vote of Canada, New Zealand, Australia and the United States against indigenous people’s rights to promote, develop and maintain their institutional structures and their customs (United Nations General Assembly Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, Article 34), Bolivia’s government is determined to work for the right to land and self-determination.
Bolivian Is an Uneasy Ally as U.S. Presses Drug War

Access, Information and Knowledge
