<![CDATA[ <a href="http://cadip.org/volunteer-in-kenya.htm" rel="nofollow"> Street families rehabilitation program in Kibera, Africa's largest slum <img border="0" src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-in-kenya-5.jpg" align="right"></a> May 6 - May 21, 2009 This is a street families rehabilitation project, started in 2003 by Charles Ogutu. Initially the group used to advance loans to its members to do small business or assist their families but later they changed their focus to HIV/AIDS. The international volunteer project will be held in Nairobi City for 2 weeks. Volunteers will come together to demonstrate the power of voluntary service in meeting critical needs of the local communities. The main objectives of the international workcamp are: Income generation and HIV/AIDS outreach program. Volunteers will be working with the Haki Self group who are mostly Luo people - the largest tribe in Kenya, although there are also other ethnic groups residing within the area of Kibera. The local people are not well educated, especially the old generation, therefore some don't understand English, but local volunteers from the community are recruited to assist the international group with communication. Generally the people in this area are low income earners and live in poverty. Kiswahili and Luo are the most spoken languages within the area. Kiswahili and English are spoken in the central business area and in Government offices, and are popular among the young professionals and educated youth. Volunteer work: Volunteers will be involved in making jewelry and art work out of bone, providing home-based care to people infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, counseling, peer education and tuition.

The region is surrounded by mountains which makes it impossible to have extensive crop exploitation, also because of the very humid climate. Besides this, the few products that are susceptible to commercialization, suffer of loss of value, which affects the income of the Mazateca families. This process increases the poverty of the region and promotes emigration among the young people. This project aims for creation of a research centre for the indigenous communities, the “Cecavati”. The aim of this centre is to give orientation and training about technologies in agro-business with the objective to improve the life conditions and increase the possibilities for development of the communities, using the sustainable development strategies combined with international support. First group (March 4 - March 23, 2009): The volunteers will help in the rehabilitation of the meeting room of the Centre. They will also help with painting and restoration activities in the centre, as well as maintenance of the greenhouse. Second group (April 15 - May 4, 2009): The volunteers will help in the rehabilitation of the dining room of the community centre, painting and restoration activities in the centre. The volunteers will also help in the restoration of some walls of the centre with ancient indigenous techniques (construction with adobe). Besides this, the group will help maintain the greenhouse of the centre, and will help clean the green space of the centre, in order to create a place for holding meetings outside. Language: The official language of the workcamp is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.

<![CDATA[Using the power of influencers to direct the Zeitgeist. The Zeitgeist Project seeks to generate foresight so the future is defined by hope. In creating a critical mass of influencers this global initiative seeks to inspire what the ancient Greeks called arete. The Zeitgeist Project (www.zeitgeistproject.org) is based on the premise that ideas have consequences . . . actions are born from ideas . . . and ideas are promulgated by influencers. Consider the words of Jeffrey Sachs (one of the world's best-known economists), “More than money, more that politics, ideas are the secret power that this planet runs on.” Whether it was the Zeitgeist of the 1960's, the Renaissance or pre-Nazi Germany, every era has its own personality which is driven by influencers and adopted by the populace. What if it was possible to gather a nation's and the world's most dynamic influencers to create a critical mass to direct the future? . . . Societal Transformation is possible by bringing such people together to examine the current Zeitgeist and redress root causes of issues. The Zeitgeist Project is looking for passionate people who want to see societal transformation. In particular, it needs people who have the following experiences: - Web Designing - Webcoding - PR - Fundraising - Blog & Forum monitoring - Legal ]]>

I am going through the registration and i will like a help to register and translate it in French as well.All the documents are ready. To be frank this is new organization. And i will be happy if you are willing to make time for this. It is an opportunity to work and visit Ghana in the near future. Have you ever though of helping the needy. Well this is a big chance for u. Read the information below. MISSION To improve the lives of women and their families in northern Ghana. To bring about the awareness of the need to contribute to a better future for the people of northern Ghana. Providing gateway to a brighter future for women and kids. PAGE[3] BACKGROUND This organization was created by Maurice Angme, a Ghanaian citizen and Canadian permanent resident and Andrea Nouvet, a Canadian citizen. Andrea and Maurice met in Ghana in 2003. Maurice moved to Canada in 2007 to live with Andrea and they both currently live in Montreal. Andrea completed her Master’s research in northern Ghana on the topic of youth, music and development. Working with Maurice, her knowledge of Ghanaian culture deepened, as did her understanding of many of the obstacles Ghanaians face. Having grown up in this region and experienced many obstacles to income security himself, Maurice is dedicated to helping Ghanaians make a better way for the future. - Most men rely on income from farming activities to support their families. But with such a long dry season, food often becomes scarce. In their own words…. They decided to build this organization to seek funds that will enable them to provide loans to women. They will use these funds to invest in various businesses. Income raised will help the women provide for the needs of their families. They would meet young girls and boy on the street that were selling various products in order to support their own education. It was really hard to see how some of these kids had to carry boxes of things such as toothpaste or pens on their heads for several hours a day in the hot sun. Many were only going to school for half a day and spending the rest of the day selling on the streets of Tamale. Some were as young as 7 years old. We both lived close to a woman who had 5 kids who were so smart and interested in education, but given that buying food was a daily struggle, education was unfortunately not possible for them. Buying food or even basic medicines is a struggle for many. • People die in hospitals because they cannot afford basic medicine. These experiences have stayed with both of them and they decided to focus their energies on helping women specifically. In 2006, Andrea and Maurice met with a women’s group in Tamale and gave them donations of clothing that Andrea had gathered from family and friends in Canada. PAGE[4] STORE AND DONATIONS ]]>

This is indeed a time for cultural exchange and embracing the new relationships. Special requirements: Volunteers should be prepared to live with children having social problems although they are very friendly. The volunteers will work in special social and cultural environment and have to be flexible. They are expected to be motivated and to participate actively in the running of the project. The volunteers will use local bus and/or second hand bicycles for their transportation and need to be able to ride a bicycle in a city.

International volunteers will be working on two different middle-term projects in this town: PARK OF THE WALLS: Verona is an exceptionally beautiful example of a fortified town. You can see evolution of a tradition through centuries (Universal Heritage protected by UNESCO). Verona's Walls is a complex set of different types of architecture. All this area is slowly becoming a Park. Unfortunately most part of it is just a huge relict, damaged and abandoned. ...

HOW ? Create a myspace and facebook account, or better still create your own blog / website? E.g. see my website/ blog : <a href="http://www.Heart4Animals.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Heart4Animals.com</a> Find animal -related news to post blog entries SHOW THE INTERNET WORLD - things like these still happen: <a href="http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm</a> Education is the key to reducing animal suffering. I became more aware and concerned about animal issues after knowing what is happening from animal-related websites. I started updating this website with animal-related news because I got to see images of what happens to animals hidden away from our sheltered city lives. The more people know what animals go through, the more people will refrain from buying products which will further increase animal suffering e.g. fur / fur-lined outercoats. PART 2 OTHER LANGUAGE BLOGGERS Do you or if you know of anyone who know Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Farsi, or any other language ? These are enormous markets that not exposed to the cruelty involved in the animal trade, and also, the animal organizations have not been able to penetrate into these markets deep enough.( See <a href="http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/29/uncategorized/animal-suffering-continues-in-korea.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/29/uncategorized/animal-suffering-continues-in-korea.htm</a> Try to enlist people who know such language to start blogs / facebook / myspace / zorpia accounts to spread the message around.

It has a wonderful history of the jain community and has one of the most interesting jain temples in the region, one of them being the famous 1000 pillar temple. The area is an agricultural settlement and the region grows paddy, coconuts, arecanuts, black pepper, vanilla, exotic varieties of mangoes, exotic varieties of bananas and the famous tasty cashew nuts. Over a period of time the region has been facing a lot of water shortage and the region now is facing a receding agriculture practice as a result of the shortage of water. Year 2003 was the beginning of an initiative to implement rainwater harvesting awareness programmes in the form of trying to set up a rainwater harvesting model in the region. Several volunteer projects were organized with the rainwater harvesting theme, and almost successfully completed such model in one of the villages of Moodabidri. Volunteers who participated in the workcamp dug hundreds of trenches to stand the water so that it percolates into the soil and increases the water table of the surrounding area/region. International volunteer groups this year will continue the same project, along with the idea of having awareness programmes in schools in the region.

Although it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration wants to dynamize the Deng Mor rural areas and stimulate English learning through the international volunteers’ presence. The main target group of the project will be young people and children. Inside this larger framework, each project will address the specific target group in different villages in the Deng Mor area. Cultural exchange is the main work of the project. The volunteers will discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks. The volunteers will also hold English teaching workshops for the children of several district villages. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the time of the project. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. Special requirements: A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin. Leisure time: Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the group leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn’t very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region. New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population. Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager. Location: The Deng Mor sub-district area is about 20 km far from Khueang Nai city and 60 km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand.

<![CDATA[I am a second year Cinema, Video & Communications student at Dawson College and I am doing a term project on religion for a communications class. The project is going to be in documentary style, and I am going to be interviewing people over the phone and in person about their different religions, and their religious views, and experiences. I am looking for devout believes of any religion, part time believers, or former believers with an interesting story to tell. It will be a fairly informal interview as I am mostly interested in hearing what you have to say. You have full digression if you would not like your real name given out or if you would like me to disguise your voice. I promise to not bias the interview and I will not ridicule your beliefs/experiences in any way. It would be best if I could get a video interview but if you only have time for a telephone interview than that is ok. The interview could take place at Dawson or in another public location that you are comfortable with. If you are willing to participate please get back to me with a little bit of information about yourself as well as your religious experience. Thank you very much in advance.]]>
