Tarnya Olivier's List: SOSE 9

• Need-based and responsive:
  We jointly assess  the needs of partners, clients and beneficiaries so that we can  respond to partners', communities' and other stakeholders' requests for  support.

   

  Recognise and respect diversity without  discrimination:
  We encourage participation of all, and do not  discriminate by age, culture, gender, race, religion, social or political  affiliation. We actively promote gender equality in all our activities.

   

  Prioritise the poorest and most  vulnerable:
  We support projects and programs that target the  poorest and most vulnerable. Notwithstanding our non-discrimination values,  these may focus on redressing the disadvantages of specific groups such as women  or ethnic minorities.

   

  Recognition and respect for  human rights:
  We support the social, economic, civil, and  political rights of all, and respect social, spiritual and cultural values.

   

  Integrity:

  Learning and  effectiveness:
  We foster ongoing organisational learning to  ensure that current and future programs are effective.

   

  Partnership:
  We work in partnership with  organisations overseas and in Australia. Because our partnerships are based  on mutual interest and trust, they are flexible and able to evolve.

   

  Local ownership and empowerment:
  We  promote local and community involvement and ownership of programs.

   

  Self reliance and sustainability:
  Our  programs are designed to build the capacity of partners and local communities  to manage and sustain their own development and resources, including  environmental resources.

  • Child-focused  
  • Church-based
   
  This clear and consistent Christian identity is something that we never seek  to hide or compromise in our communications. Indeed, this is the main reason why  so many people chose to sponsor a child through Compassion.
   
  Compassion believes that it is not enough to simply feed the poor without  introducing them to the source of life; Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must provide  for the spiritual needs of children, as well as their economic, social, physical  and emotional needs. Changing external circumstances rarely changes a person’s  life; however, when a life is internally changed by the love of Jesus,  circumstances invariably start to change.
   
  Christ-centred
   
  At Compassion, we seek to keep Christ at the centre of all we do and seek  God’s guidance on our plans and decisions. Compassion’s ministry is dedicated to  caring for the poor and giving hope to the hopeless by spreading the good news  of the gospel. We operate internationally as followers of God’s Word in response  to The Great Commission, by presenting the life-changing gospel to every child  in an age-appropriate, culturally relevant and non-coercive way.
   
  Child-focused
   
  Compassion’s ministry engages each child as a complete person. We care for  our assisted children as if they were our own. God’s heart for children  compels us to act on their behalf. By working holistically  with individual children to address their spiritual, economic, social and  physical needs, we afford them an opportunity to become responsible and  fulfilled Christian adults. We believe that when children see themselves as  Jesus sees them and when they realise their worth and identity in Christ, then  they begin to flourish, grow and develop in other areas of their lives.
   
  Church-based
   
  We believe that the church is God’s chosen instrument to fulfil The Great  Commission and to bring justice to the poor and oppressed. We know that the  local church is uniquely placed to understand the real needs of the people and  best able to make strategic decisions to meet the needs of local people in the  community.
   
  Our experience has also shown that the local church fosters an environment of  unparalleled stability, giving children the opportunity to experience God’s love  and acceptance.
   
  This is why Compassion works exclusively with churches in developing nations  to deliver our comprehensive holistic child development model to children living  in desperate poverty.
   
  Compassion equips, trains and provides resources to these local churches, of  various denominations, so that they may realise their vision of changing their  communities for the better by helping the children they serve to grow and reach  their God-given potential.

• Ironically, Citigroup spun off Travelers Insurance in 2002, but the company  remains a far-flung financial conglomerate, with operations located across the  globe and ongoing commercial bank and investment banking divisions. 

  In its 2008 annual report, Citigroup presented itself as organized into five  distinct segments.  

   
  • Citigroup’s credit card segment, Global Cards, is the largest consumer  business within Citi and “the world’s largest provider of credit cards.”  
  • Citi’s historic core mission is consumer banking.  
  • Citi’s “Institutional Clients Group” includes its hedge fund activities, and  its securities trading, which is responsible for massive firm losses, mostly on  subprime mortgages, including $17.5 billion in 2008 alone.  
  • Citi’s Global Wealth Management segment includes its Smith Barney brokerage  subsidiary. Citi has now merged this into a joint venture with Morgan Stanley,  in which Morgan Stanley holds a 51 percent majority stake.  
  • Citi’s corporate segment serves the company’s other segments.
• Bill Black, a former senior deputy chief counsel, Office of Thrift  Supervision, helped expose the savings-and-loan scandal.
• Bill Black: Citi is a classic example of serially abusive  senior management. The recent troubles are not really unique or even terribly  different. Over the past 25 years Citi has gone from crisis to crisis and  bailout to bailout and abusive or even outright criminal action. If there were 3  strike laws for white collar crime, Citi would have been put out of its misery  25 years ago.
  
  
• The bailouts began decades ago. For example, there was the bailout in Brazil and  other developing countries. Citi’s then head famously said that there was no  risk lending to sovereign nations because they could always just print money.  Which would be fine if money couldn’t lose value. But it turned out it could, so  Citi and a number of its ilk were insolvent on any true market value basis. This  was back around the late 1970s through the early 1980s. We used the IMF and  World Bank to bail out Citi.
• These are people whose function in life is to make money by often facilitating  abuses, evasions of rules, and outright assisting, aiding and abetting frauds
• but it’s also because the place is so ludicrously large
• and incoherent that no one can manage it.

• Corporate codes of conduct on workers rights and labour standards hold out a  third way to promote labour rights in the global economy. Advocates argue that  codes of conduct can harness the market power of informed consumers to halt  abuses against workers in developing countries. Many supporters see such codes  as a civil society alternative to "first way" government regulation or "second  way" trade union organizing and collective bargaining to protect workersí  rights.
