HISTORY
One To World, formerly Metro International, was founded in 1977 by a group of foreign student advisers at seven New York-area universities, who sought to provide international undergraduate and graduate students with a bridge between their isolated campus environments and the broader New York community. Out of this early effort grew a series of orientation programs and publications designed to help international students cope with the unique demands of living and studying in New York City, while getting them out of the classroom, off campus, and into the community.
Throughout the years, One To World has found that sharing personal experiences is the most effective way to transform citizens of all nations into citizens of the world. In recognition of its role harnessing personal relationships to bridge countries and cultures, Metro International changed its name to One To World in 2008. This new name and tagline--creating global citizens; inspiring a peaceful world--convey a powerful vision that will guide One To World in the coming years.
Now more than ever, creating understanding between individuals from different nations is essential for a better future. By profoundly affecting Americans and international students alike, One To World is creating a worldwide movement of informed critical thinkers, problem solvers and leaders.

Tune in to WKCR for the 19th annual Antonio Carlos Jobim Festival this Monday. With this, we will be continuing the tradition of broadcasting the music of Brazil's most famous composer, Antonio Carlos "Tom" Jobim on his birthday.
Born in Rio de Janeiro in 1927, Jobim reached national fame in 1959 when he collaborated with poet Vinicius de Moraes to compose the score for the movieOrfeu Negro (Black Orpheus), which would go on to win the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Their partnership became one of the most successful in the world, both critically and commercially, with the release of such songs as "Chega de Saudade," "Garota de Ipanema" and "So Tinha de Ser Com Voce." Jobim's Grammy-award winning album with Stan Getz, Getz/Gilberto, confirmed his talent for composition and collaboration on an international level. Jobim also worked with Elis Regina, Sergio Mendes, Astrud Gilberto, Ella Fitzgerald, and Frank Sinatra, among many others. A wide range of Jazz and Pop musicians have interpreted his music, and still other musicians have reinterpreted those interpretations.
We will feature in studio performances by Jaider de Oliveira plus surprise guests. We will be playing a diverse sample of music from The Art of the Instrumental Bossa Jazz Trios to Francis Albert Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim. The show will start with Phil Schaap and end with German Santana. So, please join us on this exciting adventure between the hours of 12pm-2am.

How is my family going to respond to this? That's what I've been turning over and over in my mind as I watch Congress moving to repeal Obamacare. In my fifties, I learned why my father died at age 43, and why my paternal grandmother had a series of strokes that rendered her bedridden for most of her life. My family has Fabry, a rare genetic disease -- and one that I unknowingly passed on to both of my daughters. A series of tests demonstrated the degree of damage that had already occurred for us, and the most eye-opening one showed that one of my teenage daughters had already had a stroke. There is no cure for Fabry. The only option as of now is a biweekly enzyme replacement infusion, which isn't a cure-all but at least a step in the right direction. My husband and I are proud of our daughters who, in the midst of their busy young adult lives, face this disease head-on and spend two to six hours in treatment every two weeks. It's not easy. With the cost of each infusion being between $14,000 and $22,000, it's easy to understand that it wouldn't take long for us to reach the lifetime cap insurance companies once imposed before the Affordable Care Act became law. And then what? And what if our daughters become unemployed, forcing them to find insurance with a costly pre-existing condition? Without Obamacare, that would most likely be impossible. The billable cost of treatment without insurance would be horrific. We also know we're not the only family who's afraid of Obamacare being repealed. Take a stand with me -- say you'll help protect the law that's helped so many families, just as it has mine. I cannot tell you how relieved we were when the Affordable Care Act passed and eliminated lifetime caps and denial of coverage based on pre-existing conditions. For our family, it meant living a somewhat normal life, even if we're often in treatment. It's unacceptable that Congress wants to abolish Obamacare instead of building on the successes of the law and continuing to improve access to care for all Americans. Don't stand by and let Congress rip health care away from us -- from so many. We should be taking care of our people, not throwing lives in jeopardy to put points on a political scoreboard. Sign the petition now.
