Eric Gitonga Mburugu (Kenya) is ABC4All Mentor of the Week sharing his vision: Global Efforts Initiative (GEI)!
About this category: Learning & Education


Erick Gitonga Mburugu, stating what is uppermost on his mind, offers his vision: The Global Efforts Initiative (GEI).

To read Eric's words provides an opportunity to review where we have been, where we are and where we are headed. ANY ABC4All Mentor can read Eric's vision and have such stimulation!

Included in what Eric shares:

"I have chosen to work very closely in partnership with ABC4All in order to ensure the success of humanity in meeting the transcendent challenges. Therefore, I am willing and ready to hold talks with you and others within and out your network on how we could work together in forming a strong alliance...Maybe we could come together and merge our ideas, you know the idea and vision you had and have for ABC4All and that I have for the Global Efforts Initiative, and form something new and very progressive for the global community. It's just a thought that has popped up. Think about it."

Indeed we can all think about it!

Thank you, Eric, for such a carefully presented offering for your MOTW page!

Respectfully,
Burton Danet, Ph.D.
Co-Founder, ABC4All
*************************
Below is the response to Eric after first reading of his submission:

Eric, Eric, Eric,
You are amazing.
You are eloquent.
You are organized
You are dedicated.
You are relentless.

You have assessed What The World Needs Now.
http://ABC4All.net/wtwnn.htm

You have taken action.
You are creating GEI.
You are working in conjunction with cooperating parties.
You are on the right track, you know it, you are passionate, and you BELIEVE and have FAITH in what you are doing.

Eric, we are on the same page.
Parallel tracks, perhaps, but nevertheless we already are working together,
perhaps without formalizing it. How we discover the path to mutual cooperation will become evident.

OFFER OF TREASURE
About this category: Peace, Conflict & Governance


I am surprised to receive mail through mytig which offered treasures .The nature of offer is very clear with a concocted story to deceive the members of tig.
TIG is a forum of young peoples who want to inspire and involve others in the development of youth.If grredy peoples make entry and pollute this forum youths will be discouraged to come and involve here.
So,I request the administrators to take stern measures to stop the intruders with malicious designs.

Original song: "MUNGU AKUBARIKI (ANGELS OF AFRICA)"
About this category: Learning & Education


Listen online: http://ABC4All.net/poetry.htm

ABC4All Mentor Clarita Zarate (USA) graciously shares an original inspired song written and created with

Music by Barry Finnerty!



Clarita Zarate describes the evolution of "MUNGU AKUBARIKI (ANGELS OF AFRICA):



"I wrote and recorded this around 2004 along with another song, "Jambo." Mungu Akubariki means "God bless you in Swahili". I wrote it for Ben Omondi and the orphans in Kenya. I sent him a copy and one to Enoch, a TIG member. I also sent one to "To love children," I think his name is Dave, and he loved it.



"I found the lyrics for the song. Now what is happening is that we are taking the old music track and recording new vocals on top using the lyric sheet. Barry is now putting harmonies on to my vocals and next step is mixing."






MUNGU AKUBARIKI (ANGELS OF AFRICA)



I LAY IN BED AND CLOSED MY EYES

I THOUGHT THAT I WAS DREAMING

NOW I STAY AWAKE EACH NIGHT

TO HEAR THE ANGELS SINGING



MUNGU AKUBARIKI MUNGU AKUBARIKI

GOD BLESS THE ANGELS OF AFRICA

MUNGU AKUBARIKI MUNGU AKUBARIKI

GOLDEN ANGELS DRAPED IN WHITE



I ASKED THE MAN WHO MADE THIS LAND

TO SET MY PEOPLE FREE

YOUR PRAYERS THEY WILL BE ANSWERED SOON

THE ANGEL SANG TO ME



(CHORUS)



DON'T LET THIS WORLD BRING YOU DOWN

HOLD YOUR HEAD UP RISE ABOVE

THINK OF THEM AND SING THIS SONG

IT WILL FILL YOUR HEART WITH LOVE



(CHORUS)



Words by Clarita Zarate

Music by Barry Finnerty and Clarita Zarate (USA)

Subject: A Change for the world

Namaste Everyone...
Normally am not for Politics but this time ... i go beyond my limits cuz this is needed and for those who would like to see more about the CHANGE for AMERICA...i have prepared a video short after the elections Congratulation to those who are living in this Continent And Congratulations to the world As this change will make a big change around the world

Obama:Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.

Obama: Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek. I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we've struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We've made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions

Obama: He will not always succeed but he may be in a position now to demonstrate to all the nay sayers what is possible in the world when we have dignity, self-respect, true caring for others.

Jóvenes refugiados en Buenos Aires: primer taller
About this category: Culture & Identity


Este jueves 30 de octubre comenzamos el ciclo de Talleres de Teatro y Reflexión Creativa del Proyecto Jóvenes Refugiados en la Ciudad de Buenos Aires: Una mirada desde adentro.

Este proyecto, de la Asociación Vientos del Sur, pretende ser un espacio de encuentro e intercambio que permita la autoorganización de jóvenes provenientes de diferentes países para facilitar su integración y el mejoramiento de sus condiciones de vida a través del conocimiento de sus derechos, el desarrollo de iniciativas propias y la valoración positiva de su identidad mediante el dialogo intercultural.

Participaron del encuentro unos 25 jóvenes de Sierra Leona, Costa de Marfil, Cabo Verde, Guinea, Bangladesh, Colombia, Inglaterra, Hungría, Alemania, República Dominicana, Senegal y, por supuesto, Argentina.

Fue un hermoso comienzo, con mucho entusiasmo y mucha entrega por parte de todas y todos.

En la foto, el afiche con el producto de la dinámica "El mar de las expectativas", donde quedó plasmado qué es lo que las y los participantes esperan de este espacio de encuentro, qué es lo que tienen para compartir y qué es lo que les preocupa.

Próximamente.... más novedades.

Un especial y enorme agradecimiento a todas las personas que generosamente están contribuyendo para que este sueño compartido sea una realidad =)

Halloween

Apparently my local supermarket doesn't believe in either Halloween or selling pumpkins that aren't pre-cut into portions, so this year I reverted to the far older British tradition of carving turnips to create lanterns to ward off the bad ghosts.

Turnips are much easier to carve and have a lovely luminosity when you hollow them out enough.

Ugly, Drunk and Stupid exhibition @ Town Hall Gallery, Hawthorn



























































The other exhibition that happened in my absence was Ugly, Drunk and Stupid at the Town Hall Gallery, Hawthorn, Victoria.

Curated by Jo Waite and Bernard Caleo the exhibition was part of the 2008 Melbourne Fringe Festival.

The format for the show was a portrait of an "Ugly, Drunk, Stupid" character and a landscape format comic featuring this character.

I decided to use as the starting point the caricature of Paris Hilton I drew during one the Zine Cloud word game exercises back in June where I ended up with the words "Paris Hilton, "Smoking" and "Sword".

The resulting comic is the first I've done in a long time that aims to be funny and has a lot of words. Overall I was pretty happy with it.

Broken windows aside the opening apparently when well with a fine collection of secondhand sherry glasses provided by Jo.

B&W exhibition @ This Is Not Art

"Pat’s favourite comic: A tie between Sarah Howell’s silent comic and Tim Molloy’s Mr Unpronounceable."

- from curator Pat Grant's wrap up email (this email totally made my day).

Images 1. single panel detail.
Image 2. installation shot of exhibition, mine is the very white three page comic sandwiched between Ben Constantine's 12 page work and Mandy Ord's 4 pages.

As I don't normally live on a west coast I get quite excited about seeing the sunset over the ocean. Here are just three King Island sunsets.

King Island - Lets Get It Strait











































I arrive on King Island the morning of Tuesday 14th and promptly collapse with a cold; fever, aches, the lot, but only seriously for a few days. Luckily I'm not working alone, Emma Porteus and Gavin Clarke, the dancers working to produce the Lets Get It Strait performances on both islands look after me, though Gavin is also sick.

After a few days talking with Emma and Gavin I start to get a proper picture of where the project is going and tailor the work I do with the students towards visualising the whole performance so their understanding goes beyond the movements they are learning with Emma and Gavin.

The results were designs for: costumes, sculptures/props, lighting, and maps of the outdoor performance space.

I once again did a window display as a reminder to the students of the work we had done, this time I drew cartoons of: students performing different parts of the show, fish, and one of Emma and Gavin saying "Dance Rocks!"

In the above images you can see the entrance to Stockyard park where the performance will take place in March; a drawing by Prep student Ingrid showing herself dancing like seaweed and like a snake; and a map by Tom showing Stockyard park and all the logistics that will go into making the show happen.
