They run the island (and the show)

"Really, the job is being an islander." 10/31/18 Working to Keep an Island Afloat For most people, keeping track of one job is complicated enough—now, imagine juggling six. On the small island of North Ronaldsay off the northern coast of Scotland, that's the case for many of the residents. With a population of just 50, everyone has to work a handful of jobs to keep the island afloat. Meet Sarah Moore—she's a part of North Ronaldsay's trusted work force.  A Canvas in the Clouds There's no way to climb Little Ring Mountain in southwestern British Columbia, but thanks to helicopter pilot Brad Friesen, muralist Jessa Gilbert can still make her way to the top. Together, this unlikely team (a trio if you include Brad's co-pilot, adorable English bulldog, Bentley) collaborate to capture the spirit of the backcountry.

Putting Kenya's Slums on the Map These days, the Internet makes it possible to travel much of the world with a simple click of a mouse. But not every place where life gets lived is cartographically represented. This leaves entire communities, particularly slums and other "informal settlements," invisible from state actors who could implement vital infrastructure like electricity and clean water. Using their feet, GPS technology and a lot of dedication, Primož Kovačič, Isaac Motisiamosa and their teams are collaborating to put Mathare, Kenya's second largest slum, and its people on the map. This Great Big Story was made possible by UBS.  Play Your Cards Right We know you love Great Big Story, and now you can show the world!
