Since 2007, White Ribbon Alliance has been building support and visibility at Glastonbury Festival in the UK – the world’s biggest open air music festival, with 200,000 visitors and 2,000 journalists from 70 countries.
Our team of dedicated volunteers has pasted stick-on “heart mum” tattoos on the arms of festival goers while talking to them about how we keep girls and women safe in pregnancy and birth. We have “made a noise for mums” with a record breaking drum roll lead from the stage by pop stars Rudimental, Lily Allen and Shlomo. We have invited celebrities and to have their photos taken in WRA photoframes, shared widely on social media, raising awareness of our brand and our issues. Our Global Champion Sarah Brown has joined us at Glastonbury with supermodel supporter Naomi Campbell. And then in 2016 we stood in solidarity after the murder of our colleague Jo Cox, MP, who had been instrumental in the strategy to win international support for maternal and newborn health.
In 2017, the plan was to draw attention to WRA’s role in promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights by building on the growing momentum of the women’s rights marches around the world. We made an exhibition in our tent of the best and funniest of the placards – ranging from “Misters for the Sisters” to “Girls just want to have fun-damental human rights,” inviting festival goers to come in and make their own before joining us on the stage of the Park field in our own #RESIST rally.

Riding my least favourite route (Central Line) on a quiet Sunday - sweating, gasping and like everybody else - just waiting to get out.
Our new Premium Tribal Community is an exclusive enclave currently under development. Available upon request to the Chief and dependent on prim availability, this community features both houses and huts, offering an elevated living experience for those who desire a more refined and customizable home within the Tribe.
Community members deliver their milk to the collector for the local dairy company, At-Bashy Dairy Company in Kyrgyzstan. The factory has had a great impact on people's lives in the community because now they can earn money selling their milk. Without the plant, this would be impossible.
UNDP's Aid for Trade project helped the factory establish a system of production, quality control, and safety compliance of raw materials and finished products. The company now sells their dairy products throughout the country and is preparing to export.

Foreground Balgo Hills Airstrip apron and pilot facility. Balgo Community is in the background. S34885
The Balgo strip is gravel and rarely goes out because of rain. The strip runs almost to the edge of the plateau so the feeling is much like taking off or landing on an aircraft carrier when that end is into the wind. Hercules have landed here when floods have isolated the surrounding communities, bringing in fuel and maybe food which is then ferried to smaller strips in Caribou aircraft.
Burbank Community Center is located behind the Burbank Police headquarters and the Burbank Jail. This center offers employment help and job placement and much more.

The building we delivered the training in is a very accessable community clinic for that area. There are 13,000 people in its catchment area and it caps its patients at around 40 per day to try to ration the medicinal supplies, which come in on a donation basis to supplement the clinic's very meager annual medicine budget.
The guy running the clinic is a very impressive doctor trained in Pakistan and currently working for an Afghan NGO named Muslim Hands. You can tell the doctor really cares about the community. He explained in detail the painstaking protocols they have to give patients the best care over the long-haul, from organizing the day-to-day of the clinic, to implementing policies such as capping patient counts, to proper file-keeping on patients. This is a major feat in an area without easy access to many of the basic things such as folders, chairs, printers, etc. that make such systems possible. There was a lot of work put into the very basic thought processes of the clinic and I am glad that Muslim Hands have taken the project over.
There is a garden at the clinic that was started by one of the people from my NGO murdered in Badakhshan in the summer of 2010. Her memory lives on in the garden, which Muslim Hands is continuing to water and protect. The apricots we ate from the trees today were still sour unlike those farther north where, ironically, the weather is warmer due to proximity to deserts and to lower altitude, and thus where apricot season has already come and gone.
Jalalabad Road was bombed by the Taliban a few weeks ago when Obama arrived to sign the big agreement with Karzai. Today it was beautiful and relatively peaceful, despite the massive military-industrial complexes such as are visible on both sides of the road in this photo. My biggest worry was just my glasses flying off since we were driving so fast!
Wilma is part of a trained corps of frontline health volunteers who identify pregnant women in their villages and educate them on safe birth practices, the importance of attending prenatal care at the local health center and the benefits of giving birth in a health facility. Memorably, Wilma recalls one patient in particular, a mother named Zelpha who was experiencing heavy bleeding after a home birth. Wilma gave her the recommended dose of misoprostol to stop the bleeding, saving her life. And, she says, the baby was healthy too.

The coastal community of High Island sits atop a salt dome at the east end of Bolivar Peninsula. It was named High Island because the hill sits about 45 feet above sea, the only dry land visible during storms and flooding.
Settled by Anglos in the early 1800s, nearly all of High Island lies within the Martin Dunman Survey, granted in 1837. The pioneers were mostly farmers, though George E. Smith gained fame from his patented bottled water from natural springs on his land.
The town expanded in 1886 when the Gulf and Interstate Railroad began operations in the area. A depot was built, along with many new businesses. In 1897 C.T. Cade constructed the Sea View Hotel on the hill overlooking the Gulf of Mexico. The hotel became a place of refuge in 1900 and 1915 when hurricanes struck the Texas Coast, causing flooding over the peninsula.
Oil was discovered on High Island, with successful drilling beginning in 1916. Petroleum deposits found at the perimeter of the salt dome in 1931 started an oil boom, and provided employment for the region.
High Island has become recognized internationally as an important habitat for migratory birds, bringing crowds of bird-watchers annually to the area.

A meal is being prepared for around 50 people. That number includes Old Hall members plus any visitors they might have plus a number of volunteer WOOFERs (workers on organic farms - who in return for board and lodging help out around the farm in summer). There is also some bread making going on here. All the food bar a few items is grown on the community's 70 acre farm and all is organic of course. All livestock produce is freerange.
