Entitled Midnight at 2, it was shot and produced in Indore in May 2017 and is his sixth short film. The story revolves around two strangers, a girl and a boy, sharing a moment of profound silence on the balconies of their homes at 2 am. Everything started for Stanley during a college event where he made promotional videos for his college’s E-Cell (an initiative by National Entrepreneurship Network) and gained instant appreciation for the medium. His first short film, Pedal which found its place among the top 10 national submissions of IIT Indore’s cultural festival, Fluxus, was selected by Pocket Films, an online YouTube channel for short film promotion, and was also nominated at the Sutradhar Film Festival, Indore, and submitted to the Film and Television Institute of India, Pune, for judging. His second short film, The Wall was screened at the SIGNIS Film Festival in Malaysia and Patna. Pocket Films also picked it up. Stanley attended the 2015 Artisans for a Culture of Peace SIGNIS media workshop (now known as CommLab) in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

When I started my business career, I took my own history lesson from Princeton: I learned how leaders make a difference, in their countries, in their centuries. So I invested in leaders, and that investment helped me to be successful. …I’m looking to invest again in leaders of the future.” SHELBY M.C. DAVIS Co-founder and Philanthropist UNITING THE WORLD “We strive to build critical masses of globally minded young men and women on American campuses, to foster highly personal relationships between outstanding Americans and non-Americans, and to seed global networks.

The cover features Kassiyet Omarova’s painting All is in Your Hands. 2 NATIONAL HUMAN DEVELOPMENT REPORT 2009 FOREWORD BY MR. YERBOL ORYNBAYEV, DEPUTY PRIME-MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN The National Human Development Report of the Republic of Kazakhstan presented to you here is dedicated to one of the most im- portant problems of social development in our country. It concerns the status and prospects regarding the resolution of one of the long lasting and troubling issues our society has, how to create the condi- tions for adequate realisation of the rights of persons with disabilities. It should be noted that since gaining its independence, the cre- ation of the social protection system for citizens who have been un- willingly limited in their abilities has been given a lot of attention in Kazakhstan’s national social policy.
