This is one of the exhibition rooms within the 180 Studio gallery. They have just opened a new exhibition of the work of Gabriel Moses Selah. The exhibition runs till 27th July. It consists of 70 photographs and 10 films with a few sculptures thrown in for good measure. Pumping music throughout. A lively exhibition I can recommend. It could be seen at the same time as the Sony World photography awards exhibition at Somerset House just down the road, that will be opening shortly…..
For me, I saw this exhibition just before going to the Goya exhibition at the Courtauld Gallery which is close by. They could not be artistically further apart! I think I was still vibrating from the music of the first exhibition…..Couldn’t be clearer for me. I will be revisiting Gabriel Moses Selah!
Have a good day out there…..
Vanellus novaehollandiae. The Masked Lapwing family set up 'home' in my work's carpark. At the beginning and end of the day they spent their time aggressively defending their three chicks from children, parents and cars! Traffic cones were placed to try and protect them but the chicks are starting to wander so my very brave boss, Lil, relocated the 3 chicks to a grassy strip beside the building. The parents complained loudly and swooped but have accepted the move. Then 2 of the chicks wandered under the gate and into the backyard! So we couldn't let the children play until brave Lil moved them back to their new grassy home and blocked their access under the gate. The parents complained loudly & dive-bombed us, but hopefully they're all settled now! Phew!
Built for round one of the 2020 Iron Forge, where the seed part was minifig legs. Really pleased with how this came out, I was surprised I had enough lavender to really do anything decent at such a small scale. I did have to buy 4 of the Dots accessory packs just to get a plain smiley face emoji tile for the face though...

Banners Childcare Inc. recently retired it's Starcraft Prodigy LP, replacing it with a leased Micro Bird. The former awaits disposal at New York Bus Sales on a dreary December day.
Unfortunately I forgot to note the VIN on this unit, sorry.
When I asked if I could take a photo of their facade they placed four of the babies in the window! Too cute. :-)
Trinidad, Cuba.
New research by ODI uncovers a global childcare crisis, with at least 35 million young children left home alone. With more women entering the workforce, mothers often face impossible choices – with many leaving their countries, and often their dependent children, to find work elsewhere.
Elizabeth says she has struggled, but she has not given up. She carries on working to make sure her daughter and family have a better future.

Elizabeth plans to bring her youngest daughter, Melanie, to live in Spain. Melanie, 14, has arteriosclerosis. Elizabeth is already renting an extra room for her, which is a huge expense.
To get Melanie into Spain, she had to take a DNA test to prove that she was her daughter. That cost 500 Euros – a whole month's wages.

Feeding the little ones seems not of much use: less than a minute later the cry for hunger sounds again! // Het lijkt niet veel zin te hebben de jongkies te voeren: na minder dan 'n minuut klinkt alweer het geroep van honger!

Village Baram, Block Namkum, District Ranchi, Jharkhand, India..Anganwadi worker prepares to inject Hepatitis - B Vaccine to a child at Anganwadi centre during the counseling on health and nutrition in Namkum. Anganwadi worker in every targeted village teams up with a small group of local resource people who are then given a basic training in nutrition, childcare and hygiene. Once trained, the team visits pregnant women and mothers of newborns in their homes to educate them about safe delivery, breastfeeding, immunisation, and other essential care practices during pregnancy and early childhood UNICEF is prioritizing reducing the high malnutrition and child mortality rates, and reaching out to millions of families in Jharkhand to address these concerns. The Dular strategy, which trains village women to counsel new mothers about breastfeeding and proper nutrition, is a successful approach that is already expected to prevent about one quarter of newborn deaths and save the lives of thousands of older babies and children. The Dular initiative is of particular importance to tribal children who are most vulnerable to disease, malnutrition and education disparities, as prejudice, isolation and misunderstanding make it difficult for these families to access services.

Rotary Club of Nagpur has been continuing Project Nutrition and Child Care for the last 15 years to provide healthy food to children from less privileged families.
The project includes schools that are mostly attended by slum children, the latest addition to it being Usha Bhatt Nutan Bharat Vidyalaya, where the project was just launched. Under this project, a nutritional meal, rich in calories and proteins along with vitamin supplements, would be provided to 150 children of the school for 90 days in order to improve their immunity.
The principal of the school Vidya Rajderkar said, "these children eat whatever their parents manage to fill their tiffins with. Most times, these things are not very healthy. Along with food, the children are also being taught some good habits."
"When we started off there was a high incidence of malnutrition. As there were no government mid-day meals scheme, we began at corporation schools. We saw a notable improvement in attendance and interest of the children. That encouraged us to keep it going," said Shahrukh Cassad, the director of the project.
When the government scheme came, several privately run schools where most students were not from well off families were still left out. "These schools do not get the government grants or aids like the civic schools. So, we step in and fill the void," informed Rotarian Naushad Bhagwagar.
The club also takes into consideration special needs of a few children. "We identify children who are anaemic so that they are given special care. Deworming medicines are also given as and when required," said secretary of the club Dinesh Naidu.
Since many club members are medical professionals, the club ropes in their expertise and services. "ENT surgeons, paediatricians and eye surgeons are called to check the overall health of the children. Those who are found to be in poor health are given the necessary treatment and a proper follow up of their condition is kept," said Anagha Jaiswal, one of the chairpersons of the project.
It's not just the physical fitness of children that these benefactors have in mind. "To help them have an overall development, we organize picnics, movie outings, visits to circuses and various other activities," revealed Anagha.

Over the last eight years, Elizabeth has been studying towards a number of qualifications in the hope that she will get a better job. So far, she has not – most migrants are hired in domestic service, especially in Spain.
However, Elizabeth is hardworking and optimistic, and continues to study when she can.
'I've often been humiliated in Spain. When I didn't have papers, people offered me almost nothing to clean houses and work, and I couldn't say anything. I had no rights. But I had to bear everything, who otherwise would maintain my children?'
'I'm now unemployed, don't know what to do. I'm a hard worker, but can't find any jobs.'
