Facts about education in Yemen
Millions of children out of school and scores of teachers unpaid - At least two million children, nearly 27 per cent of school-age children are out of school, according to UNICEF. More than 1,690 schools are currently unfit for use due to conflict-related damage, hosting of IDPs or occupation by armed groups. About 2.3 million children need support to access education, including 1.1 million in areas that are acutely affected by conflict. Months of unpaid salaries have aggravated matters. More than 166,000 teachers have had problems receiving their salaries since October 2016 - about 73 per cent of the total number of teachers in Yemen.

An unidentified male saint, wearing a fur-lined red cloak suggestive of wealth and authority, distributes coins in a walled outdoor setting. The lettering on the saint's halo has not been decoded. Among the recipients, tw neatly dressed woman carrying a child, and a man with ragged clothing and crutches - have hats decorated with pilgrim badges. This would have suggested, for viewers of that time, that they are pious Christians deserving of charity.
In an effort aimed at uplifting the productivity and income of farmers, the Rose Namayanja Foundation this week distributed planting seeds to various farming groups in Semuto Sub County, Nakaseke District.
The distribution of the high quality seeds to the farming groups was done in preparation for the new planting season. The farmers were also sensitized on the best farming practices in order to yield better harvests.
While sensitizing the farmers on how they can best fight pests and diseases from destroying their crops, Mr. Ivan Kulaba an agronomist with House of Seeds, advised the farmers to embrace team work and also consider spraying as a preventative measure against pests.
“Don’t wait to spray your crops after they have been attacked by pests but consider spraying as a preventive measures if you are to have high yields. Work as a team. Spray at the same time as your neighbor to avoid pests running into your garden from the other side,” Kaluba said.
Before distributing the planting seeds, the Rose Namayanja Foundation CEO, Mr Joseph Munyangabo called upon the farmers to put into practice the skills they have been taught to acquire high yields at the end of the season. He also pledged on behalf of the foundation to continue supporting the farmers in order to enable them achieve their highest potential.
The farmers applauded the foundation for the planting seeds and technical advice rendered to them. They pledged to support the foundation in its endeavor of reaching out to the people and promised to translate the knowledge gained into high yields and income.
“I’m very grateful to Hon. Rose Namayanja Nsereko for the help rendered to our community through her foundation.
These seeds will not only help us increase output, but will also transform both our families and community.” Ms Margaret Nalugya a farmer attached to Semuto Market Vendor’s group said.
The Semuto Town Council Mayor, Mr. Kizito Richard, commended the foundation for the great initiative of transforming the lives of many people.
The Rose Namayanja Foundation continues to provide skills training on selected enterprises such as agriculture among others to enable the people in these fields have a better understanding of their activity for increased production and income.

Hizmet Relief distributes hot meals in Haiti after the earthquake.
Hizmet Relief sent 119 volunteers to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Hizmet Relief was the first organization to distribute food after the earthquake. Volunteers distributed hot meals to 1000 people each day for 30 days. Because of the earthquake many people were left homeless. Hizmet Relief distributed tents, blankets and clothes.
15 doctors attended this vital campaign and gave medical help to the injured. Hizmet Relief strongly believes that the impact moment is the time when the help is most needed but in order to help people in need for a long duration of time futuristic projects should be brought to life. Hizmet Relief and Kimse Yok Mu built a medical clinic. The clinic is planned to be in operation in the next year.
The films distributed under the Rollei Brand by MACO Products, Germany, include former film formula's of Agfa company. The Rollei INFRARED 400 would differs from the Retro 400S (which iis ndeed the formula of former Agfa Aviphot 400) version by increased sensitivity in the near-infrared band. The film is side-marked 'INFRARED" but the processing times are the same as the 400S version.
On July, 29, 2024, Lyon, France, I decided to test a roll of this INFRARED version in a photo session at Par de la Tête d'Or by a quite warm (36°C) and sunny day. The results are quite close to my person IR-photography sessions made past year with the 400S version.
I took the same camera I used past year for infrared photography with one of my two Minolta's X-700 (the one called « China » period 1993-1999)
The Agfa Aviphot 400 film was originally designed for aerial photography for its capacity to differentiate green tones and to give a good clarity reducing in part the atmospheric haze. The Agfa Aviphot sensivity curve starts to decrease at 670 nm to fall at zero around 820 nm. The band starting at 780 (up to 2500nm) is the beginning of the "near infra-red" band of the electromagnetic spectrum.
The Minolta X-700 SLR camera was fitted with a normal lens Minolta MD 1:1.2 f=50mm. The lens was equipped with a 55mm screw-on IR filter with a cutoff at 720nm. Since the filter is so dark for a comfortable through-the-lens viewing, a FOCA "Universel" external view-finder (Made in France in the 50’s) was used for an easy framing. The X-700 has also a Multi-Function Back allowing diverse pricing modes. The date was manually printed before view 1 and the time of the end of film after the last frame.
The film was exposed for 40 ISO using my Minolta Autometer III external light meter equipped with a selective 10° finder. The X-700 light metering system was not used and the camera was operated in the manual mode using the exposure times of 1/60s or 1/125s for f/4 to f/11

After completion, the film was processed using Adox Adonal developer (equivalent to Agfa Rodinal) at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 10min30. The photograms were then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5. The RAW files obtained were then processed without intermediate files in LR and edited to the final jpeg pictures.
All frames of the film are presented in two different processing versions (normal or with the "clarity" parameter of LR reduced by -100% to mimic the traditional glow of former KODAK Infrared films)
About the camera and the lens :
Minolta X-700 SLR was manufactured in Japan and first released in 1981, and delocalized in China from 1993 to 1999. I bought them in early 2022 from eBay accompanied with their motor drive MD I and other accessories. The MD 1:1.2 f=50mm is part of my Minolta lens collection and was purchased as a vintage lens on line in the mid 2010's.

Facts about Yemen
Two years of relentless conflict in Yemen have devastated the lives of millions of people. Yemen is now facing a protection and humanitarian crisis that is quickly engulfing a large part of its population. An alarming 18.8 million people - almost two thirds of the population - need some kind of humanitarian or protection support. Some 10.3 million are in acute need of assistance. This means they need aid to sustain their lives. This man-made disaster has been brutal on civilians. Currently, 17 million people are food insecure while a staggering seven million people do not know where their next meal is coming from and are at risk of famine. At least three million people have fled their homes, public services have broken down, less than half of the health centres are functional and medicine and equipment are limited. Access to safe water has become a major challenge and the lack of proper sanitation has increased the risk of communicable diseases. A child under the age of 5 dies every 10 minutes of preventable causes.
