Humanitarianism. The Opus Prize Foundation (Minnetonka, Minn.) has presented its 2007 Opus Prize to Brother Stan Goetschalckx and Africa Health and Development International (Tanzania) for work to provide educational resources for refugees who have fled violence in their home countries. The prize, which carries a $1-million grant, is awarded annually to religious efforts that use innovative strategies to help mitigate deeply rooted social problems. The foundation also awarded $100,000 each to the Rev. Norberto Carcellar and the Homeless People's Federation (Quezon City, Philippines), for programs to improve waste and water systems and help poor people save money and purchase property, and to Father John Adams and So Others Might Eat (Washington), which serves free meals and provides health and employment services for people who are poor, homeless, or mentally ill.
