'ORPHANAGE OF SUMMER '10 Likoni

As you know this organization was created to support the orphanage Likoni of ... the reason that the more I was compelled to make this decision was mismanagement by the Pastor of the structure and children. I thought that something concrete could have been done to their benefit and that over time I would see improvements. The program for this summer was in fact to spend 3 weeks to Likoni and implement many projects with funds collected for them and 2 weeks to Tsunza to donate the proceeds to Susanna Gomez Sole, president of a volunteer organization English CHILDREN OF AFRICA.Quest 'summer we decided to collaborate united by love for children (they are 4 years to support Likoni), but we reluctantly and together we decided that there is nothing to be done for them. The situation we found was terrible . ..


walls pitted last year completely destroyed, mattresses bought last year, broken or missing, all currencies have disappeared, children who slept on the ground to leave the bed free for "volunteers" cockroaches everywhere (even in the beds during the night), kitchen refurbishment last year destroyed ..... heartbreaking! The reason for this debacle is very simple .... the priest to show that the orphanage needs a continuous support from volunteers every time someone buys or makes anything he does go away or destroy it .... absurd?? ..... not quite normal for Likoni, now the children are used ...
you ask why ... of course iv olontari to go pay them money and go straight into his pockets by increasing the daily and destroying its finances and day after day the orphanage! Ours was a very tough decision to make, but a man so powerful (as is) will never change the way it operates and we can not have them not being in control. We strive throughout the year to raise funds, we work hard to be able to see our dreams come true ... and not destroy .... we really want to change things, but it takes cooperation. Unfortunately, it is a reality very different from ours, with its dynamics and its contradictions difficult .. to understand and change. There are limits, we must understand them and shall not exceed ....
We made sure that several people sent regularly sponsor r money for food and English in particular that a sponsor pay the tuition to all children ... and only after we have decided to invest our money into something more concrete that the priest can not destroy ... Manc construct two classes of anti Timbwani Primary School (orphanage where children go to school), thus ending the draft started the year last year. Needless to say, the satisfaction in seeing the finished work ... (see the projects section Likoni 2010)

POLE POLE AND THE' COMPANY OF AFRICA

Here we are now back from nearly a month after a summer spent in Italy the rhythm of the Pole Pole (slowly) in KENYA ...
actually if I go back to what I thought immediately comes to mind are the many projects completed in a short time we had available to achieve them and the fact that we were always engaged in something, always fighting with time, always plan and set new targets ... pole but the pole was there ... inside us ... it was our mood, one that allows us to live peacefully, always with a smile and get to end the day exhausted, but happy for what we had done and the desire to relive the same day a thousand times.
pole The pole is Africa live without ... the clock, and waking up with a rooster's crow, is the dinner when it gets dark, it's going to sleep under the sky most beautiful star in the world ... that's all you have inside, stays inside you and that will not leave you alone anymore ....
I loved living among the people, with people and feel after a month one of them, I loved the constant smile of children, their songs, their dances and I loved playing with them, I loved to eat their food with them, I loved to take a shower without a roof, at night, with palm trees and full moon were the setting, I loved reading the gratitude on the face of the people I loved the joy of all the volunteers who allowed you to play down any "Matata" (problem), I loved the rain and the sun soon, I loved the few moments of silence, but especially the many of confusion ...
... I loved every single moment IN KENYA ... and now I miss him every single time ......

What Happens If A Plasma Breaks




Some pr ogress
fighting hunger
Despite some progress, the situation remains unacceptable


In 2010, for the first time in fifteen years has reversed the trend: 98 million individuals are
rose above the threshold of 1,800 calories per day, FAO said with its technical language, typical of international agencies.

Hunger, in short, has dropped: in the world suffer from the 9.6% fewer people than last year. In presenting the report Sofi 2010, however, the Director-General Jacques Diouf has left little room for optimism: "With a child dies every six seconds for problems related to malnutrition, hunger remains a scandal and tragedy more vast proportions in the world, "he said. " This is absolutely unacceptable."

Looking at the figures for recent years, the good news of the FAO is resized. It is true that the number of hungry people fell for the first time in 15 years. But it is also true that he had surged from 2006 to 2009. The number of hungry people by 873 million of 2006 rose to 1.02 billion in 2009, the highest level ever reached. Blame the food crisis first and then the financial crisis, which hit the most vulnerable people, especially in Africa, making them fall in the vicious circle of poverty and hunger. Now the new data of FAO is an improvement, but by the same UN agency, is due to the growing economies of China and India more that targeted policies.

Sofi 2010 According to the report, the region remains the most undernourished Asia with 578 million individuals. But sub-Saharan Africa is the region with the highest proportion of hungry people: 30%, with 239 million people. Within the continent, then, there are different situations: in the 2005-2007 biennium Congo, Mali, Ghana and Nigeria had already reached the first MDG (eradicating extreme poverty and hunger), and countries like Ethiopia are close to doing so. But in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the proportion of hungry people increased by 69%.
The eight millennium goals are therefore more closer than a few years ago? Progress comes more encouraging on the face of maternal health. According to the report "Trends in maternal mortality ", in sub-Saharan Africa maternal mortality decreased by 26% and in Asia the number of maternal deaths is estimated to have declined from 315,000 to 139,000 between 1990 and 2008, a decrease of 52%.

The progress is remarkable, said UNICEF, but the rate of decline is less than half of what is necessary to achieve the Millennium Development Goal of reducing maternal mortality by 75% between 1990 and 2015, which will require an annual fall of 5.5%, decline by 34% compared to 1990 equivalent to a decrease in annual average of just 2.3%.
The result, however, marked a clear progress against maternal mortality, a plague that afflicts mainly the countries where the health care system is precarious, and with few resources. 99% of all maternal deaths in 2008 occurred in developing countries, with Sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, accounting for 57% and 30% of all deaths.

In view of the UN Summit of September 20th a large group of Italian associations has launched its proposals in the dossier "Achieving the Millennium Development Goals . The recommendations of civil society", referring the Italian government and the delegation that will go to New York.

The War of Bread



Maputo The Executive will reconsider the increases have already been decided and ordered the two-thirds of the poverty population. And the world grows the risk of a new era of wars for the bread. Ten dead and almost 300 wounded were not enough. After two days of urban warfare, destroyed and looted shops, buses and cars on fire and the army had to intervene to give a hand and help the police to disperse protesters took to the streets to protest the price increases, the government Mozambique said the cost increases decided in recent weeks should be considered "irreversible."

For a State which is just over 20 million inhabitants, where 14 of them living below the poverty line and salaries that do not reach the $ 2 a day, this is to condemn the majority of the population to 'poverty and poverty, with the risk of new waves of protests, riots and other other victims. The data collected by the International Monetary Fund indicate that the Mozambican economy grows faster than that of its neighbors. In the African country, however, prices are still rising and inflation galloping erode the already meager weekly wages of workers. On September

water and electricity prices increased by 13 percent, while at the beginning of August had increased by 8 fuel because of the liberalization policy pursued by the government in Maputo, which is gradually stop subsidizing gasoline.
As if all this were not enough, next week is expected to further increase the price of bread, which will add to that already recorded in recent days.

Recently, FAO, the Organization of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation has warned for the growth of food prices on the international market, which reached the highest level of the last two years, while they were still below the peak reached in June 2008.
Between July and August, the surge was 5 percent. An increase in part related to the blocking of exports Russian wheat decided by Moscow after the devastating fire last month that destroyed part of his harvest, but in different parts of the world, as in Mozambique, is likely to be misused by governments and private companies to generate increases in prices and increase their profits. also why the United Nations have decided to analyze the problem on September 24 calling for an extraordinary session of the Intergovernmental Group on Grains and the Intergovernmental Panel on FAO Rice.

Meanwhile reappeared the possibility of a new era of wars for the bread, such as those that were fought two years ago in many poor areas of the globe, from Mexico to Bangladesh, with millions of people forced to fight against laws and market economic principles just to (try to) eat a single morsel of bread

Home Remedies For Sharpening Old Ice Skates




Behind the revolt of Maputo, cost of living and injustices



E 'seven dead, including two children, and nearly a hundred injured in clashes in the various budget areas of the capital of Mozambique, Maputo, between police and thousands of demonstrators took to the streets to protest against rising prices of food staples.

The riots coincided with the entry into force of price rises in a series essential services, from water to electricity. But the rising price of bread, which should lay it on thick Monday by almost 40%, would have been the spark that ignited the protest protests are not organized by any union or association but only by a simple word circulated through SMS on mobile phones.

" Behind the revolt of Maputo's high prices, poverty in the suburbs, a social divide that is increasing " says the agency Misna . The riots coincided with the entry into force of price rises in a range of essential services, from water to electricity. Monday, then, the price of bread would increase by almost 40%. The latter increase would have been the spark that ignited the protest today, a protest was not organized by any union or association but only by a simple word circulated through SMS on mobile phones.
"inflation The race started already last year, shortly after the confirmation election of the 'Liberation Front of Mozambique' to the end of government subsidies . In the period that preceded the October 2009 legislative vote, explain the Misna, the government has depressed prices for gasoline and many consumer goods. In the long run, however, this policy was not sustainable from a financial point of view. This year, the end of March to the end of August, gasoline prices have risen by almost 50%. Inflation, before the vote and 2% to 16% today, led to the devaluation of the Metical and thus increasing the cost of imported goods denominated in dollars or South African rand. Of these dynamics, decisive for the gasoline price increases but also the flour bought on international markets, told the Misna some missionaries.
" stone-throwing and looting of shops with the police - says Konrad Klich father, a missionary of the Divine Word in Maputo - ignite the suburbs, where no work and the poor feel abandoned .

Fueling the tensions, the sources of stress Misna are also social inequalities. " Mozambique is rich in coal, timber and other natural resources but exports only enrich a small elite . The sources of Misna exclude significant involvement of opposition parties, the Movement for multiparty democracy and the Mozambique National Resistance, weak and divided. Difficult to predict how it will end, despite an important precedent: In February 2008, before the October elections, demonstrations and riots led the government to cancel a 50% increase of freight rates.
