 On our regular Global Activism series we learn about Kows for Kenya, a group of local grade students organizing to buy cows for Kenyan families. Also, photojournalist Alexandra Avakian stops by our studios to discuss war photography and her work in the Muslim world. And we premier Global Notes, a new weekly series on global music with Tony Sarabia.
