Hey everyone! Since I was in a car accident on Friday night... I actually have time to edit some photos because I'm so sore I can't work or drive. Thank goodness for my pain killers! :)
Charitable donation by the EBRD Community Initiative
This year, the EBRD Community Initiative made a charitable contribution of EUR 50,000 to the Women Access to Entrepreneurship Development and Training Society (WAEDAT).
WAEDAT was founded in 2004 and launched under the patronage of Her Majesty Queen Rania in 2005. The organisation provides mentoring and training for women and young entrepreneurs in Jordan, to raise their awareness of local development opportunities and provide basic skills to start their own businesses.
The EBRD Community Initiative donation will enable WAEDAT to support local women entrepreneurs in strengthening and expanding their business activities.
There was an exhibition of the local goods and crafts, produced by the members of WAEDAT in the conference centre.
Finn Slough is a tiny Fraser River fishing community located at the south end of No. 4 Road in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The community has approximately 30 residents who live in wooden houses, both floating and built on stilts, along the marshy river bank. Many of the buildings were built between the late 19th century and 1950s and many have decayed severely, while some have been carefully restored. Finn Slough was founded by Finnish settlers who came to Richmond in the 1880s. Most of these residents made a good living from fishing and became local landowners.
Finn Slough (or sometimes Gilmore or Tiffin Slough) can be found on the south arm of the mighty Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, Canada. The Slough is bounded on the Fraser River side by Gilmour Island and on the north by a dyke built to protect Richmond. Access to homes on the Gilmour Island side of the Slough is by a wooden draw-bridge, creating a definite sense of isolation from the nearby urban areas of Richmond and Vancouver.
Thank you for your visit and any faves or comments are always greatly appreciated!

This is just the front of the building. It is on College Avenue which leads me to guess that it was once a college building. It later evolved into an elementary school. Now it is a community center, library, and dance studio among other uses

Tucked in the wooded hills between the Guazapa volcano and Lake Suchitlán, El Roble is a small, vibrant community of about 50 families outside of Suchitoto. A hotbed of violent conflict and human rights abuses during El Salvador’s recent civil war, El Roble has come a long way in its recovery through organizing to address the community’s needs. During the week of March 16-24, 2013, our group of 12 worked in conjunction with El Comité de Reconstrucción y Desarrollo Económico-Social de las Comunidades de Suchitoto (The Committee for Socio-Economic Development and Reconstruction of Suchitoto/CRC), which works to rebuild communities affected by the conflict. We spent the week laboring under the leadership of a local bricklayer, Rene, who patiently transferred both his technical expertise to our team of eager workers, and his personal accounts of the impact of the conflict on his community. Mixing dozens of batches of cement and laying hundreds of concrete blocks, we constructed brick walls for a community center that was at the start nothing more than a foundation and roof.
Aside from our contributions to the project, our group also spent the week living with local families and sharing delicious traditional meals with the affectionately-nicknamed “Mama Lucy.” We were fortunate to have an authentic experience that lifted El Salvador out of the shadow of conflict that clouds most portraits of this tiny nation, and highlighted both its astounding natural beauty and resilient, generous people. We learned to make corn tortillas by hand, take bucket showers at the river, and most importantly, the true meaning of solidarity from an exemplary community that has persevered through so many challenges. After just a week living and working alongside our new El Salvadoran friends, El Roble felt like home.
Our time in El Roble culminated in a big fiesta with the entire community. Everyone gathered in the newly-formed center, shared gratitude for the work completed and the invaluable exchange we all experienced, and danced countless bachatas. It was clear upon our departure that the new building would be a focal point of the community, to host traditional dance lessons for youth, organizational meetings, and celebrations. We may have just lent helping hands for the week, but the work completed in conjunction with the community will live on as a symbol of solidarity and will facilitate continuous steps toward peace, reconciliation, and development.
