A South Florida organization is providing care and comfort to some children who are often overlooked. They look after children in foster care by giving them some much-needed help, and sometimes even a voice.When Kadie Black saw children in the foster system were not receiving the support they needed, she knew she wanted to dedicate her work to providing them with those needs.“Every child deserves to feel loved and safe, right? And watching kids in foster care not get that, you know, not be afforded that really was eye opening for me,” she said “so, realizing that not everybody received that same opportunity really made me feel like I wanted to give back and serve in this way.”With about 1,600 children currently in Miami-Dade County’s foster care system, the Voices for Children Foundation has a lot of work on their hands.

But with prices higher than ever, experts say, there are some things they should consider.Holiday season might still be weeks away, but travel experts advise to start booking trips now.“With inflation and in a post-pandemic world, the price of traveling, specifically airfare, has gone up drastically,” said Adam Duckworth, the founder of Travelmation.With bookings being so expensive, there is one thing travelers may want to consider to save a few bucks this year.“Traveling on the holiday itself,” said Duckworth.Those who are flexible with their travel dates tend to save the most during peak flight seasons, but for those who don’t want to be traveling on the holiday itself, flying out four to five days in advance can still be budget-friendly.For those who remain unsure about the best time to book a trip, Duckworth has a word of advice.“You want to book as e...

7 key faces to watch in the Polish election

Published Thu, 13 Feb 2025 20:02:21 GMT

Poland’s October 15 general election looks a lot like a feud between two grizzled political veterans.Two men — Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the ruling right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party, and Donald Tusk, head of the opposition Civic Platform party — have dominated Polish politics for two decades. But this year they’ll have to deal with other players if they want to rule. POLITICO’s Poll of Polls shows that no party has enough support to win an outright majority in parliament, meaning they’ll need the support of smaller groups like the centrist Third Way or the far-right Confederation — as well as the loyalty of their own party members, which isn’t always a given.Here are seven faces that matter in Polish politics:Jarosław Kaczyński: The Puppet MasterLeszek Szymanski/EFE via EPA The 70-year-old leader of PiS is also Poland’s de facto ruler.A minor figure in the anti-communist movement of the 1980s, Kaczyński climbed the po...
