Christina Nikolic has made a home for herself in Canada since arriving
here from Germany in 1999. She's an organic horticultural entrepreneur,
passionate about soil and bugs, and serves as a director on the board of
the non-profit Society for Organic Urban Land Care, or SOUL. A decade
of traveling back and forth has sharpened Christina's eye to changes in
both countries, and blurred the distinction between the two places she
calls "home". In recent weeks, she's followed the hot button migration
issue in both Germany and Canada. Christina Nikolic on what it means to
integrate from two perspectives in the second half.

What does it mean to give? In the age of celebrity charity, and the
emergence of massive foundation giving like the Gates Foundation,
Lawrence Scanlan set out to spend a year inside a wide array of

industries have been founded and flourish providing charity of one form
or another, but is true philanthropy possible?
 That's just one of the
questions posed in Scanlan's latest book, 'A Year of Living Generously:
Dispatches from the Front Lines of Philanthropy.' Lawrence Scanlan is an
