This mural, by artist Wiley, caught my eye on the way home today. Upon further googling, I learned there are 3 "Give" murals in Houston. The murals encourage us to take a moment to reflect on ways WE can commit to making OUR local communities a BETTER place to live. #GIVEHOU
PPA Arbor Day community tree planting.

The Alliance is hosting an Arbor Day community tree planting in honor of Arbor Day on Friday, April 28, 10 AM - noon in the Concert Grove.
As well as a pump, this stand has a number of common bike tools for public use, attached with steel cables. They've been there for a year, and none have been stolen.

COMMUNITY PANELS FOR YOUTH VIDEO AND HANDBOOK Beyondmedia worked with three Chicago communities and Northwestern University's Children and Family Justice Center to produce the Community Panels for Youth two-video-and-handbook set, illustrating how to create an alternative to juvenile court and youth incarceration that is organized and run by community people.
Community isn't limited to humans and their interactions with other people. Animals (or in this case, insects) have communities as well. They work together to make their "colony" grow. As tiny and insignificant they seem in human's eyes, the great difference in scale between ants and their surroundings is similar to that of human's relationships to the whole world, which is often over looked. We are very very small creatures on this Earth. It's weird having living things be much bigger and more powerful than us. To ants, everything is big, especially the huge people that don't seem to do anything but squish their friends when they cross the same path. How would you feel if somebody much, much larger than you paid no mind to your existence? What if they went out of their way specifically to step on you because you were simply "small and in the way"? When put in perspective, physical scale doesn't mean much.
Ants do have a community; they work together to create a better environment for each other. I came up with the idea on accident, actually. I went outside on a nice day and saw huge ants on the flowers in my front yard so naturally, I grabbed my camera. I saw them interacting with each other and realized how they worked together to get food and such. I used vantage point and scale to show how large the ants are on the leaves (they were pretty big for ants) and what they see in comparison to what we see.

"Hi, my name is Lauren D. This picture shows my family at the beach. This beach is in Hatteres, North Carolina. This picture has my mom, dad, brother, and myself."
After the rain last night (after this photo was taken) I was able to pull up some weeds from around the base of the plants, but I just can't handle all of the grass myself. I'm probably going to take my lawn mower up there at some point!
As you can see in the background, 2 of my plot neighbors have large squash plants that are doing great!

The Developing Good Governance in the Niger Delta programme draws on the commitment and expertise of five Nigerian NGOs with an abundance of experience of working with all stakeholders in the region. Working collaboratively, they present a unique opportunity to engage government, civil society and the oil industry in bringing about the huge changes in behaviour and practice which are pre-requisite to sustainable development.
The purpose of the project is better provision of basic services in the Niger Delta and the reduction of poverty. This is to be achieved through enhanced effectiveness of civil society in the Niger Delta to demand better governance, allied to improved capacity to deliver by civil servants, greater functional skills among service providers and improved understanding of the role and responsibilities of state and local government among all stakeholders. The focus of the project will be six local government authorities (LGAs) in the Niger Delta States in the three core Delta States of Bayelsa, Rivers and Delta. Interventions will be targeted at key sectors and vulnerable groups to ensure poverty focus.
Currently the project partnership is led by Academic Associates Peace Works (AAPW), Institute of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and the Living Earth Foundation (UK) with additional support from Kobiri Development Foundation (KDF).
This five-year programme is funded by DFID’s Global Transparency Fund and will run from 2008 to 2013.

Elise Witt led An Impromptu Glorious Chorus at the end of the open house and invited everyone to join in. After the open house, we welcomed our second performers, the conductorless ensemble Sphinx Virtuosi.
