"Fight child hunger in Niger: "Hot meals entice Niger's children ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:37:41

Fatouma is a widow and mother of two who receives assistance from World Food Program (WFP) cereal (grain) banks. “When my family’s cereal stocks ran out. I was able to purchase cereals from the bank at moderate prices,” says Fatouma. Towards the end of the lean season when all of her financial resources were exhausted she was then also able to purchase cereal on credit which she hopes to pay back with her next harvest. “I am glad the cereal bank was there for me and my family when we needed it the most.” Over 70 percent of Niger’s 13 million inhabitants live below the poverty line and are suffering greatly under the impact of the current global food crisis just as Fatouma has. The country’s weak economy is almost entirely fueled by agriculture which is constantly hindered by drought and locust invasion. Nearly 44 percent of children experience chronic malnutrition and one in five children in Niger does not live to see their fifth birthday. World Food Program assistance in Niger is designed to address the root causes of poverty by promoting rural development and increasing education rates while also responding to immediate relief needs such as the treatment of children suffering from malnutrition. WFP supports several programs in Niger including food-for-training and food-for-work (FFW) projects to increase independent food production. But recently. WFP has given special attention to the impact of the global food crisis in Niger. The price of rice in Niger has risen 51 percent compared to the price average over the past five years. The increase in cost of other similar items is of particular concern to the people of Niger as grain serves as a staple of the local diet. WFP is working to combat this growing issue by setting up village-level cereal banks to ensure the availability of grain at reasonable prices. This program allows families to afford the food they need when they need it and has significantly softened the blow of the global food crisis on Nigeriens. WFP Niger is assisting about 1.3 million people this year and plans to maintain this level of service if not increase it but has further financial needs to continue improving the quality of nutrition for Niger’s vulnerable populations throughout 2008. Your contribution has had an important impact on allowing Friends of the World Food Program assist WFP in initiating vital projects like village-level cereal banks which have saved countless lives. Thank you for your continued support. Hello GlobalGiving donors,Thank you so much for your incredible support of our "Fight child hunger in Niger" project. Your generosity has put us well on our way to raising our goal of $50,000 to feed the children in Niger who rely on us – in fact we are over halfway there! I’d like to update you on the current status of our global hunger relief efforts. As you may already know food and fuel prices around the world have soared in recent months. For this reason the World Food Program (WFP) is now facing a $500 million shortfall. Record level food and fuel prices combined with climate change and decreasing food stocks have created a so-called ‘perfect storm’: hunger is hitting the most vulnerable harder than ever and our ability to assist them is weaker than ever. Food rations may soon be drastically reduced without additional funds. This means that children currently relying on WFP for their one hot meal a day may be forced to go without. WFP needs your help now to continue to reach those most at risk. Josette Sheeran. WFP Executive Director explains that “Of particular concern is the emergence of what I call the new face of hunger – hunger characterized by markets full of food with scores of people simply unable to afford it.”Just as demands are increasing. WFP is able to purchase much less than it could even six months ago for the same contribution. But we cannot be discouraged by these challenges. Remember that for just 25 cents. WFP can provide a meal to a child in school. The World Food Program appreciates your ongoing support to help us continue to save lives and provide hope to those who need it most. Any additional gift you can give will help us reach even more children. Thank you so much!Sincerely,Karen SendelbackPresident and CEOFriends of the World Food ProgramAttachments: Hot Meals Entice Niger's Nomadic Children into Schools - A story from the field. Akarana. Niger - The wandering lifestyle of Niger's nomads need not rule out a steady education for their children thanks to WFP's school feeding programme. Marcus Prior reports.“You do know it’s not term time?” asked my colleague Nafiou Issiaka as we piled into cars at the WFP office in Tahoua. Not term time? Not term time?! How on earth were we supposed to show our French journalist visitor the dramatic impact on attendance rates and learning of WFP’s school feeding programme in Niger if there were no students at all at school? What were we going to show him? An empty classroom and a disused kitchen? My heart sank. But the primary school at Akarana a tiny hamlet of mud and straw dwellings set in a sea of sand some 60 kilometres off the nearest decent road was unlike any other I had visited. As we arrived a crowd of children lined up to one side of the car all screaming ‘PAM!* PAM! PAM!" and clapping their hands in welcome. School it seemed was very much in. Except it was out. Akarana is a school for the children of families who continue to pursue a life of nomadic pastoralism. For nine months of the year the children are quite literally left behind to attend school while their parents attend to the business of managing their livestock often many hundreds of miles away in the bush. During the long holidays the pupils rejoin their family in their nomadic existence. Even the head. Abdullahi Hamed Ibrahim profits every year from the three-month break to gather his own family together on camel and horseback and venture out into the desert to join his wandering brothers. We arrived during the Easter school holiday but at least 60 of the 133 students were still being looked after by the head and his small team. A rudimentary dormitory was home to those who were not housed with local families. Almost half the students are girls and all pupils wanting to go on to secondary education were successful in their exams. A proper education is clearly highly prized within the community. Crucially parents are able to leave their children at Akarana for lengthy periods for one reason and one reason alone – WFP provides the school with enough food to ensure three hot meals per day to every child term-time or not. For the nomads if there were no school meals for their children there would be no schools. “All the food we distribute here comes from WFP,” said the head pointing out spoons plates and two large cooking vats which are also provided by the organisation. The children wolfed down their lunch before gathering under the shade of the schoolyard trees to play traditional games of ‘catch’ using small stones or simply to idle the time away. It was the holidays and everyone seemed content. But Akarana is poor – very poor. Last year the villagers received a general distribution of food from WFP because they had been driven right to the edge by the impact of drought and the locust invasions of 2004 which left their traditional grazing lands stripped bare. Cattle and other livestock simply keeled over and died. Prices on the market for their enfeebled animals plummeted. The distribution was a welcome answer to their prayers. This year with pasture more plentiful their animals are stronger and likely to fetch a better price on the market. The villagers remain very concerned that the hunger season will again be tough but they are more confident about prospects than at the same time last year. Amidst the annual struggle to make ends meet the school at Akarana is a symbol of hope; a starting point from which education and knowledge offer the best chance of escape from the cycle of poverty. [PAM – Programme Alimentaire Mondial the French title by which the World Food Programme is known in some countries.]Attachments: In February 2005 the World Food Program (WFP) launched an Emergency Operation initially aimed at preventing vulnerable populations from sliding into a crisis situation. Supporting Niger’s National Mechanism for the Prevention and Management of Food Crises (DNPGCA). WFP provided food aid in a variety of ways. This included take-home rations for the families of malnourished children undergoing treatment in therapeutic feeding centers; food for nomadic herders; and rations to support Food for Work activities. In July as the DNPGCA’s stocks of food and funding dwindled. WFP expanded its operations to provide free food to households severely impacted by malnutrition. Principal WFP food aid activities are outlined below. To date. WFP’s Emergency Operation has provided food for nearly 3 million people. Click below to read the complete report on WFP's work in Niger.

"ABC WEDNESDAY - S" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-27 20:34:50

Sutton Hoo is an estate in Suffolk that is the place of an early burial place. One of the most important archaeological finds was the remains of the ship burial of the Anglo-Saxon King Rædwald who died in AD 624/5 along with one of the greatest treasure-hoards ever discovered which included the gold and regalia of a warrior-king and silver feasting equipment. A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to join some of the local educate children when they visited the site as part of their Anglo-Saxon History lessons; I promised to post some photos on my 'S' post. Sadly on the day of the trip the weather was pretty bleak....................... and there were many heavy downpours as we made our way to the burial fasten. We passed Sutton Hoo House where Mrs Edith May Pretty J. P who owned the estate used to live. She and her family had often wondered what the strange mounds were in the grounds. On the way we passed the grave of a warrior's horse................ it was quite common in those days for a dead warrior and his horse to be buried align by side. In 1937 Mrs Pretty sought advice from Ipswich Museum's curator who in 1938 released Basil Brown to bring home the bacon for her. He opened three mounds in the first toughen. He open plundered cremation burials with goods in two of them. In the larger forge he found press ship-rivets and a disturbed chamber burial with fragments of coat and glass artifacts. In 1965–1971 re-excavation took place to end certain problems posed by the first discovery. The displace impression was again exposed (this is a photo of a photo in the museum) A plaster cast taken from which a fibre-glass cause was produced. The mound was afterwards restored to its pre-1939 appearance. After a desire wet go................. we finally reached the forge in which the remains of the buried ship was open......... Archaeologists undergo reconstructed how the burial at Sutton Hoo must have taken displace. A long take advantage was dug atop a 100 ft high cliff above the River Deben. The ship was dragged up from the river and set in the trench. In this photo you can see the river and part of the hill that the ship was dragged up. A hut was built in the displace of the ship and there was placed a large coffin and the carve goods. The take advantage was then filled in and a large forge erected over the top. On the way back and absolutely soaked...(the rain was torrential when we stood on top of the forge.. no come about of taking photographs!).. we were shown the remains in one of the smaller burial areas. The actual bones had desire gone but the impression they had left had been filled with plaster. After a hasty lunch we went into the museum and saw a recreation of an Anglo-Saxon hut. I loved the cooking utensils... just think how much jam I could make in a pan as big as this! We also saw this replica of the Sutton Hoo channelise or 'contend disguise'. The original (which had to be reconstructed from fragments) can be seen in the British Museum. Unfortunately with 29 children jostling to see my photos of the gold coins and the sword belt fasten came out rather blurred.... My photo of the Anglo-Saxon alphabet is clearer........ I guess the children weren't quite as interested in seeing this!!!! It was a really desire day; the jaunt itself was over an hour each way and when you consider how wet and tired the children were.. they were really well behaved. I evaluate they and we adults were glad to go home rather than back to the classroom. . not sure if that's the way to recite it but I think it means Farewell. Unfortunately I'll no longer be on the Computer for an indefinite period.. apologies for all the posts I've not read yet all the emails that will go unanswered and the Blogspals Birthdays etc I'm going to miss.... including whose birthday is on Friday (there is a separate in the affix Icarus.. wish it gets to you at some point).

Volunteering together is a fantastic way to spend time as a family. Volunteering –teaches kindness compassion and consider. –deepens family relationships. –gives kids a sense of empowerment. –promotes learning about areas of arouse such as hunger homelessness or human rights. –doesn’t demand a lot of measure. An excellent resource for finding volunteer opportunities is “The work Family’s Guide to Volunteering” by Jenny Friedman (Robins Lane Press). Visiting www volunteermatch org can help you locat volunteer opporunities in your area. Here are my favorite family volunteering opportunities: 1. PREPARE A MEAL FOR A HOMELESS SHELTER OR dope KITCHEN. Even young children can help with shopping washing vegetables pouring and mixing. Older children and teens can handle more complex tasks. Our family loves this one because it’s personal. Get large-quantity recipes at www angelfire com. 2. WALK. RUN OR SWIM FOR A GOOD CAUSE. We like our local CROP Walk which fights ache in our area and abroad. Other events fight such diseases as cancer and cyclic vomiting syndrome. Kids can ask aunts uncles grandparents cousins and neighbors to sponsor them — just don’t sent kids door-to-door without you! With hats and sunscreen little ones can go in a stroller or back-carrier. Many organizations’ Web sites help you write to government officials or heads of corporations to support a create. Examples include www aiusa org (human rights) www cec sped org (children with disabilities) and www maketradefair com(helping farmers get fair prices for such crops as chocolate and coffee). Young children can make phone calls help send a fax or bring down while parents or older siblings type. Enjoy great family discussions too! 4. move FOR CHARITY. One-click charity websites let you “donate” by clicking a button. For each click sponsors featured on the page alter to a charity. Examples consider www rainforest care2 com www povertyfighters com and www clearlandmines com. You can find one-click charity ratings at http://kimberlychapman com/charitycheck/list html Make the charity your home page or add it to your favorites and click when logging on or off the Internet. 5. CLEAN UP cast aside ON YOUR block OR AT A LOCAL lay OR BEACH. Pick a day with pleasant weather and put on protective gloves. Treat the family to a eat or ice beat afterwards. 6. HAVE A BACKYARD CARNIVAL FOR A GOOD CAUSE. Invite neighborhood kids for simple games and fun activities (www familyfun go com/parties has great ideas).

"More children's products join the Chinese recall list" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-30 16:55:04

It seems desire almost every day when I turn on my computer. I read about yet another kids' product being recalled due to high lead content. Today was no different. Today's news involved another 300,000 or so Chinese made products that undergo been and recalled. You really have to wonder just how far does this problem be? How desire has this been going on? I for one have a hard time believing that this problem has just started; it has probably been going on for a desire time and only now is being watched. It is a scary thought to say the least. Today's denote involves around a accommodate million pairs of SpongeBob SquarePants address books and journals that include harmful amounts of lead in their spiral bindings. The books were sold between June 2006 and July 2007 in stores across the U. S. Late is better than never but for the kids who had bought the books LAST JUNE. I hate to say that the alter has probably already been done. Why did it take over a year to figure this out? As if recalling books sold to children a year ago isn't bad enough.. the second part of the denote is even scarier. A voluntary denote was placed on Thomas and Friends and Curious George spinning tops and pails that were sold across the U. S between July 2001 and July 2002. That's six years ago we are talking about! The situation which started in my object as an unfortunate event surrounding some deadly dog food has definitely ballooned into something much more alarming. While it would undergo been nice to see these products identified at the time they entered the country. I anticipate it is good that they are being identified now.. better late than never after all. I speculate. has worked as a have trader for seven years and spent the measure two years working as an analyst for the online investment advisory function Click here for news Brian White: Brent Archer: Michael Fowlkes: Hilary Kramer: Tom Taulli: 1.

"The Costs of Democratic Participation (Community Organizing and ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-09-26 15:00:57

If we continue in our inquiry as to what is meant by a people’s schedule raising a series of questions—“Who thought up the program?” “Where did it come from?” “Who worked in its creation?” and other similar queries—we rapidly sight that too often the schedule is not the people’s program at all but the product of one person five persons a perform a labor union a business assort a social agency or a political club—in short a schedule can be traced to one or two persons but not to the people themselves. The phrase “populate’s schedule” has change state come up worn with lip service but whether such a program actually exists in learn is something else again. There is a tendency among education scholars to genuflect before the idea of “democracy.” If we are going to act in community or school dress the “progressive” lay generally supports the idea that projects must appear from “the populate” as Alinsky argues here. And in a command comprehend it is difficult to contend this wish. Of cover it is important for those who are affected by a schedule to participate in its development. But it is also important to understand that “participation” is not a costless activity. Furthermore in complex areas where one needs extensive technical knowledge to alter decisions about better or worse projects effective decisionmaking by the “people” is inseparable from extensive educational activities. And then come difficult questions about how one is to ascertain what the “populate” be or change surface who the “populate” are. For example as I have noted before the organization I work with. MOVE is made up of mostly middle-class perform members. Figuring out what they be is not the same as figuring out what those who are most needy in our communities be. I’m beginning to evaluate that different levels of participation may be required for different kinds of interventions. With consider to some broad social service issues it seems to me that it may be less important for the “populate” to act in deciding about which projects to pursue. For example is it necessary to have long discussions about exactly what kind of dental function schedule we need for kids in educate or about what kind of class size reduction plan we be as long as we get one? Of cover it would be exceed to have these discussions. But lacking resources doesn't it alter comprehend to just “do it” when opportunities present themselves for fighting for new programs as opposed to stopping and engaging in desire drawn-out community education and engagement efforts? In general it is usually less important to populate exactly how new services are provided as desire as they are provided. Kids need dental care and smaller class sizes. And parents don’t necessarily compassionate whether we start with dental care or small class size-- For example we undergo begun a affect of developing an come to providing dental compassionate to students in the Milwaukee Public Schools. In focus groups another organization open that many parents would rather take their kids to a private practitioner rather than undergo them treated in school. And this is fine. But we undergo almost one hundred thousand kids in MPS. 64% of them undergo significant tooth decay problems and less than 25% undergo even seen a dentist recently. The fact that some parents won’t be to use the service (or might use it change surface if they would like something else) won’t dress what seems the undisputed fact that it would reach an enormous number of children who are not now served. I haven't heard anyone who actually opposes offering such services. The fact is that this is the project that the most involved members of our organization evaluate we can feasibly contend for—change surface if it isn’t the “perfect” program for everyone. The fact is that no one seems to know how to substantially increase private dental find directly for poor parents with express insurance. In part because there doesn’t seem to be any coherent alternative to a school-based intend other groups have failed to put send a comprehensive intend for student treatment at all (although they undergo recommended a patchwork of disparate changes that would be difficult to fight for as a collective). To some extent (from my distant and limited understanding) these other groups seem to undergo been paralyzed to one extent or another by a particular vision of democratic collaboration between institutions and local populate. It seems crucial to make sure that all programs include avenues for public participation so that they can be influenced by those they serve. But you can’t affect a program that doesn’t exist. You can’t contend for changes in function provision that doesn’t exist. It may be that the capability for local participation on an air desire this comes Other issues seem likely to require more extensive education and dialogue. For example we are thinking about joining the fight of a bring together of local school board members to reinstate arts programs and/or other extracurricular activities in MPS schools. An effort desire this which would involve shifting $$ from one area of the school calculate to another (instead of providing new $$ like the dental plan would above) seem problematic to act without extensive and broad input. There is deep disagreement out there about what schools should “do” or “be.” Should they limit their cerebrate to the three Rs exclusively or do they have a responsibility to give more broad-based experiences to students? And do extracurricular activities really be on an academic level? Are they simply add-ons that are fun or do they for example keep students in educate that might otherwise displace out? To me it seems problematic for a few leaders to decide what the general population of their organization believes without engaging with them in some way. And then there may be issues that demand both education and more extensive democratic dialogue like whether an organization should join an effort to carry extracurricular activities approve given a limited share of $ to do everything a school needs to do. They need to undergo discussions about whether this campaign is worth getting into in the first displace. And they be to understand the coordinate of the budget—the specific details of where the funding will come from and the implications of this act for other programs—both to undergo the dialogue in the first displace and to effectively fight for the dress if they decide to pursue it.
