Sempre della serie "Epoche Diverse"...
Mi sono resa conto che adoro immensamente i "gargouilles", o meglio le chimere, di Notre Dame.
Veramente mi stanno simpatici... quando ero piccola avevo guardato 'Il gobbo di Notre Dame', e i tre mostriciattoli mattacchioni, Victor, Hugo e Laverne, mi avevano parecchio divertita; poi non ci avevo più pensato finchè non sono andata a visitare la cattedrale e ho potuto osservarli e fotografarli da vicino..... trovo che siano così dolci! Anche quando divorano animaletti e hanno grandi occhi ipnotizzanti. Comunque, à mon avis, sono molto suggestivi, forse l'elemento caratterizzante di questo monumento e costituiscono gran parte del suo intrigante fascino gotico.....
Li amo, e ne voglio uno sul balcone.
[La gargolla (o gargoyle all'uso anglosassone) è una figura iconografica che si vede scolpita in molte chiese cristiane medioevali. Il vocabolo deriva dal latino gurgulium, termine onomatopeico collegato al gorgoglìo dell'acqua che passa attraverso un doccione. Quest'ultimo venne in seguito trasformato nel francese gargouille con lo stesso significato, accolto in lingua inglese con il termine gargoyle.]
Paris, juillet 09, Notre Dame
I never knew that the dead-looking tree in the house we recently moved in was a fig tree. Imagine how excited I was to find out it could give fruits. it even never blossomed!
Even my favorite downtown park, The Gene Leahy Mall, is bitten by the construction boom downtown. The water part is being dredged deeper, the island rebuilt and the walkways along the water will be redone as well. I miss walking through the park, but it was showing it's age so this should be an excellent improvement.

Riversie day care is helping economically challenged children in Kiambiu slum in Buru buru phase one ,the day care center help the children realize their right to an education. The initiation for orphan’s program grew out as a result of an increase in the number of orphans in Wagusu village and the pathetic living condition due to lack of support once they loose their parents. The organization therefore identified, as a priority to start a child care program within the community to cater for the orphans and the vulnerable children. Supporting these children has been a great challenge and volunteers have lent an upper hand with the aim of creating opportunities where unprivileged children can have equal opportunity to grow.
Many of these children are sent to live with neighbours or relatives. Most of them live with elderly grandparents who are barely able to sustain themselves.This result to malnutrition and sickness, no access to education and children are sometimes being left to find food and clothing for themselves. Some of these children are also HIV positive and without a regular diet and medical care, they will die from preventable illnesses.
The Day Care Center currently serves 80 children, Some children come from a broken families and may be are physically abused and what they need is a shoulder to lean on. Some of these children are totally orphans without both parents and other than material insufficiency, they need every one of us who they can trust and open up to like a mother, sister, brother or father. Together in one spirit, and with your kind assistance, let us revive their hope by providing a healthy environment for a meaningful future life.
The Center operates Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each child is provided with vitamins, regular medical check-ups, daily bathing, playtime, naptime and additional food assistance if needed.
This program suits volunteers from all walks of life. Someone willing to reach out and inspire hope and assistance where it is most needed someone with a passion for children.

In April 2017, International Development Secretarty Priti Patel visited Leer in Northern South Sudan where famine was declared earlier this year.
The International Development Secretary saw how the UK’s leadership and support is delivering urgently needed food for people in Leer where over a third of the population are going without enough food and they have been surviving by eating water lilies, fish grass and seeds that they are forced to hunt for in the dust.
She met starving families who have suffered three years of relentless conflict, many of whom are grieving the loss of loved ones who have already died. She heard emotive stories from people facing death about the life-saving support of UK aid, providing food, water and medical supplies to millions in need.

Muscular Development article about me from August, 1985. I was approached by the magazine after my appearance in the 1983 amateur Mr. World contest, where I won people's choice, first place and judge's choice, fifth place. The photos for the article were shot at the old City Gym owned by Diego in DTLA, now the present location of Staples Center. Diego hung photos of me on the walls of the City Gym as well.
