Buddhism in Laos is largely of the Theravada school. Nearly 60% of the Lao population is Buddhist of the Theravada school, though Buddhism in this country has become integrated with folk beliefs such as ancestor worship. Buddhism was based on the religious movement founded in the sixth century B.C. by Siddhartha , later known as the Buddha, who urged the world to relinquish the extremes of sensuality and self-mortification and follow the enlightened Middle Way...... The focus of this religion is on man, not gods; the assumption is that life is pain or suffering, which is a consequence of craving, and that suffering can end only if desire ceases. The end of suffering is the achievement of nirvana often defined as the absence of craving and therefore of suffering, sometimes as enlightenment. Like in most other Theravada nations, Buddhism in Laos is represented primarily by the presence of Buddhist monks, who serve as officiants on ceremonial occasions, as well as being responsible for preserving and conveying the teachings of the Buddha.
A recent monk workshop was held by Mlup Baitong to increase awareness of the local provincial authorities and people regarding dolphin and fish conservation because most Laotians and Cambodians have unlimitedly belief on Buddhist religion. There are only 64 or 65 irrawaddy dolphins left in the Mekong river in Southeast Asia and is classified as a critically endangered species. A number of monks here at the border of Laos and Cambodia are already available for raising awareness as well as teaching materials. The monks encourage a dialogue here in Kratie and Stung Treng Provinces to elicit their support for the dolphin conservation and to extend the general public support. Above photo shows Saffron-cloaked monks on a slow boat at the Mekong River near the border of Laos - Cambodia. There are only 12 dolphins left in this area and a few more further down stream in Kratie - Cambodia. Many temples are build next to the river since transport in Laos via the river is faster than by road. Laos is truly a Mekong country, the river runs its full length. We had a friendly chat with the local people and monks. Lao monks are very friendly and approachable. We donated some money to this Buddhist community. We hope the monk workshop will help the Irrawaddy dophins to survive. Most people donate food to the monks to gain merit and improve their karma. The temples of Laos were once seen as "Universities" for monks. Lao monks are highly respected and revered in Lao communities. Many of the novice monks come from poor villages throughout Laos and live and study.
Een groot deel van de Laostiaase bevolking, zo’n 60% is boeddhist. Men hangt het zogenaamde Teravada-boeddhisme. In het Theravada wordt meditatie benadrukt als een essentieel onderdeel van het pad naar verlichting, samen met moreel gedrag en wijsheid. Het brengen van een einde aan het lijden is het hoofddoel van het Theravada boeddhisme. De Boeddha legde verder een zeer gedetailleerde gedragscode voor de Monniken neer: de Vinaya. Over het algemeen worden monniken door de Boeddha aangemoedigd om wereldse aangelegenheden en passies achter zich te laten, zodat zij gemakkelijker in staat zijn een staat van vrede en wijsheid te bereiken, en sterke ongezonde emoties zoals haat, verlangen en lust te overwinnen. Een Monnik zoals hierboven in z'n oranje gewaad, kaalgeschoren en met sandalen aan de voeten is niet meer weg te denken uit het straatbeeld van Laos.

CLEAN-UP 20th of February 2019
Having a clean, up-kept environment benefits all members of the community.
Unfortunately, some areas are in need of some cleanup, which has a big impact on the community, as well as the environment.
STUDENTS AND CLUB MEMBERS OF SHARJAH HIGHER COLLEGES OF TECHNOLOGY with their faculty mentors and founders of the SBI club and the Innovation Club at Sharjah Higher Colleges of Technology: Malini Nair and Abdul Ghafar, ADEAREST,
MY GREEN CHAPTER,and Priscilla van Andel, wildlife and nature enthusiast/photography took an initiative to clean up this morning at 10 AM along the Sharjah Kalba road.
Within no time we had loads of waste bags filled with plastic, empty cans, broken bumper pieces, glass, construction materials such as pieces of rubber pipes and steel, plastic bottles and bottle caps, straws, rugs, sun shade covers.
Animals’ burrows covered with litter.
Many passersby in cars stopped for a second to give a thumbs up and there were 2 men who felt inspired and helped us with the cleaning.
More clean-ups to follow.
The 2018 Sydney City to Surf half marathon attracted over 80,000 participants from across the globe. It was an event full of atmosphere and excitement with street entertainment and DJ’s located at various points along the 14km route. I’ve attempted to capture some of the interesting characters, race participants, and support crews! Hope you enjoy!
I am asking people to talk about Mental Health to each other, please end the stigma surrounding Mental Health. Photography has help me to recover with help from strangers family and friends, thank you
The photograph captures a poignant moment of vulnerability. A homeless man, slumped against the seat of a public transportation bus in Oxnard, California, appears to be lost in a troubled sleep. His weary posture and the subtle tension in his features suggest a life marked by hardship and uncertainty. The scene evokes a sense of both sadness and a quiet desperation, highlighting the invisible struggles faced by many individuals living on the margins of society.

october is national breast cancer awareness month.
It is winter in the U.A.E. people are out in the desert and mountains and leaving so much waste.
So this was our 3rd Clean-up action. We know we won't be able to clean all places, but we want people to realize what they are doing to the planet.
It is truly a disgrace what people leave behind (for others to clean up? )! Unfortunately also companies either dumping their waste or just leaving materials behind wherever they are working.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated
We even made it to the newspapers:

A report produced by the BBC a decade ago had opined citing research sources that close-knit family life in India masks an alarming amount of sexual abuse of children and teenage girls by family members. It said that that disbelief, denial and cover-up to preserve the family reputation is often put before child abuse. A report from RAHI, a Delhi based NGO working with child sexual abuse titled ‘Voices from the Silent Zone’, suggests that nearly three-quarters of upper and middle class Indian women are abused by a family member -- often an uncle, a cousin or an elder brother.
Indeed, sexual abuse of children in any form of household setting by a family member in India is among the most urgent forms of child abuse which our society must address. As per women’s organisations and activists nearly ninety-five percent of the abused are girls and more than ninety-five percent abusers are males. Surveys carried out in schools and informal chats reveal that around 40 percent girls experience incest abuse or sexual abuse in one or the other form in India. How deep the iceberg is can perhaps, be gauged by the fact that 6 percent of all calls made to CHILDLINE (a 24-hour Indian helpline for children in distress) in the last ten years have reported CSA --- 6 percent of 10 million calls! There probably could not be greater statistical validation that CSA/incest is the most under-reported child rights violations in India.
From: www.merinews.com/catFull.jsp?articleID=15760077
The Indian legal statutes do not contain any specific provisions against incest. Many developed countries such as Britain, the US and Germany have strong laws against incest. UK, which made incest punishable in 1908, sets a prison term of 12 years for the offence. Punishment in the US varies from one state to another; extending to 20 years in the state of Massachusetts, while in Hawaii it is five years. Some countries have, however, abolished or diluted their laws against incest - this is invariably because many of them viewed sexual partnerships between closely related persons - even adults - as incestuous, and in recent years there has been some liberalisation of their views on this. Incest involving minors, on the other hand, is uniformly frowned upon in the developed world .
Legal Loopholes
There is no central law on child abuse.
Laws dealing with sexual offences do not specifically address child sexual abuse.
The India Penal Code 1860 does not recognise child abuse. Only rape and sodomy can lead to criminal conviction.
Anything less than rape, as defined by the law, amounts to 'outraging the modesty.' These laws are already problematic when applied to adult women. They are even more difficult when applied to children.
While sec. 376 IPC seeks to provide redress against rape to women, it rarely covers the broad range of sexual abuse (particularly of children), that actually takes place.
Most of these forms of abuse are sought to be covered under sec. 354 of the Indian Penal Code as a violation of a woman's modesty. Though offences under Sec. 354 of the IPC are cognizable, they are also bailable, allowing the perpetrator to abscond before the case comes up in court.
The Juvenile Justice Act, amended and rewritten in 2000, makes no attempt to identify sexual abuse on children. Sec. 23 of the Act deals with assault, exposes, willful neglect, mental and physical suffering, for which imprisonment prescribed, is only for 6 months.
Section 5 of the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act 1956 prescribes punishment of not less than 7 years for inducing a child into prostitution, but does not directly address child abuse.
The word 'rape' within law, is too specific because it does not include abuse on boys.
'Intercourse' is often interpreted to mean with an 'adult' and almost always implies 'consensual' sex.

Thank you for looking at my photograph. It was taken to help to raise awareness for a friend's daughter - Camille. This is my first photograph for the Camilles Appeal group and was created in the hope that I can make little Camille smile. I know she'll be looking at all of the photographs :-)
In June 2009, this stunning little 2 year old, Camille, was diagnosed with a brain tumour. She continues to fight and is a real inspiration to us all. We hope to raise awareness for Camilles Appeal through photography. Camilles appeal has been set up to raise funds for Camille and other young children living in East Anglia who have been diagnosed with a Brain Tumour.
Feel free to comment, fave etc or why not post your own pink photograph in the group this week. Raising awareness for a very worthwhile cause.

A week ago was Earth Hour. Earth Hour is aimed at raising awareness for global warming, and encourages people to turn off their electrical appliances for one hour (as a way of raising awareness).
This was my response to Earth Hour when it came around and the lights went off.
Hello and hope this finds you all fine, happy & healthy :)
Today, there's a rather sensitive subject to be touched here and I'll try to do that in the softest and most discrete of ways.
As you may have noticed, there appears a Grey Ribbon of Awareness at the end of the sentence.
This ribbon is to raise awareness about such issues as Mental Illness, Diabetes, Brain Cancer and Asthma.
Mental Illness is the subject to be dealt with today.
Those of you who are familiar with my profile are aware about my studies in Psychology.
I'd like to openly share here with you today the reason I took the time to complete these studies and also put them in praxis by undergoing a 7 year process of personal analysis, when in the first place I was ready to start my studies in Architecture and Interior Design.
Growing up I happened to be directly exposed to mental illness. For understandable reasons of descrition there'll be no commenting on who this person/people were.
The reason for coming out open with the subject is only one: to raise awareness.
So, let me say to you that mental illness is NOT a resposibility of the people who carry and live with it, but it is a whole lot of responsibility of the poeple living with such individuals to support them the right way - and this includes getting professional help.
I'm aware of the fact that mental illness stigmatises people and families and lives....and I'm also aware that pychologists and therapists are not the most favorited people of all....and it is true that there are many out there who should not be doing this job and are rather inappropiate in doing it.
But this is so with everything in life. There are people who are unable or disqualified in doing something but out of nothing else than their personal interest, they go on with it.
As in every profession, job or occupation, there are good examples and bad examples.
In case though someone is in need of a therapist either because of psychopathological reasons or simpler day life matters, he/she should not hesitate in investing some time into finding the one therapist that suits them the most.
A supportive, analytical process, which focuses on the present and practical issues can be Life Altering. It can enhance the way we live our lives and when surrounded by people in our immediate environments who need our help and support, we would have the means to provide it.
.
Lots of people say: "..but I'm not crazy (wrong choice of word in the first place)...not the one who needs a therapist...he/she is!"...well, my dear all, when we live with such people their issues become ours...and it is in the hands of the healthier and stronger to do something.
Yes, there is tremendous ammount of pain involved....there can also be tremendous ammount of relief and pleasure involved, too. It is a matter of choice.
And last but not least....no therapy will do a thing, unless it's done with the one and only intangible quality in life, which has the most tangible of effects on our lives: LOVE
If you've managed to read all this, then thank you from the bottom of my heart for having taken the time.
The loveliest of days to you all!

I’ve have started a Flickr group Flickr Rhino Watch to raise awareness of the plight of the world’s rhino, and in particular that of South Africa’s rhinos which are facing a brutal and relentless onslaught. The South African government today (1 May 2012) announced that 199 rhinos have been killed in South Africa since the beginning of the year, 119 in the Kruger National Park where this photograph of two white rhino was taken. Though southern Africa has approximately 20 000 white rhino it is predicated that if poaching continues to increase at the present rate deaths will outnumber births in 2016.
The group is in its infancy but I invite you to join and to contribute by posting photographs of rhino – whether taken in the wild or where they are held in captivity - and to share your thoughts or submit information.

One of my five final piece photos.
I chose to specifically do Hanging for this photo as I really wanted to try this editing technique and thought it may, hard to believe I know, but be the less "gory" option. I realise the editing of the shadow is not perfect and if I had more time before/during my exam I would have tried to improve it. However hopefully another time I can come back and re-edit this photo, if I do I will upload it into this set. Please comment and tell me what you think :).

Clean-up campaign 13th of April 2019.
Project Clean Environment and Bee’ah - our sustainability partner!
This morning we all gathered in the Industrial area of Sharjah, an empty place, a truck parking lot and extremely heavily littered.
There are containers on every corner of that plot, Bee’ah empties them twice a day, but unfortunately people still feel they can drop everything where they stand, lots of plastic bottles and caps, plastic bags with the remains of fast food, tie-wraps, carpets, far too many cigarette butts, wires, again too much to list.
We were with many volunteers coming from Dubai and Sharjah, Adearest and My Green Chapter
Big thanks and compliments to Bee’ah, our sustainability partner, on the campaign.
It is sad that such awareness campaign is necessary in the first place, but at the same time wonderful that all these people working together in cleaning and raising awareness.
Thank you ALL again so much for your dedication, let’s hope together we can change it for the better!
On the National Day of Silence hundreds of thousands of students nationwide take a vow of silence to bring attention to anti-LGBT name-calling, bullying, and harassment in their schools. This year's Day of Silence is Friday, April 15, 2011.
I was late with the upload.
Deployed soldiers from Multinational Battle Group- East toughed out a mile wearing women's footwear in honor of Sexual Assault Awareness Month at Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, April 27. According to the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network, every two minutes someone is the U.S. is sexually assaulted. These victims are more likely to suffer from depression, post traumatic stress disorder and substance abuse. The event here brought people together in a positive way. "I think that people were able to keep in mind what the event is all about, while having a good time," said 1st Lt. Tyler Ramrath, who is deployed with the 32nd Military Intelligence Battalion. "I think that is important, especially with a topic as serious as this." (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Angela Parady, 121st Public Affairs Detachment.)

"This event invites participants to literally walk a mile in someone else's shoes," said Williams. "They will have to try to balance, and seek support from others. It might even hurt, but they will make it though." (U.S. Army Photo by Sgt. Angela Parady, 121st Public Affairs Detachment.)

Okay guys - you know I would do this if I could but since I can't I throw down the gauntlet and challenge you to grow a moustache for Movember!
I first learned of Movember last year and that it's a event for the month of November to help raise awareness about prostate cancer. Great idea for a wonderful cause. Show us your 'stache! If you can't do that for whatever reason, at least spread the word!
Girls with moustaches!
More pictures of this event will follow, and I will group them together HERE.
The Axolotl is also known as the Mexican Salamander. it is already considered as an endangered species.

On June 27, students and staff were invited to pay £1 to wear a yellow item with their normal uniform. It was to raise awareness of, and raise funds for St Luke's Hospice in Plymouth.
The day went very well- with students and staff embracing the day and celebrating the work of the Hospice.
From wigs to socks, Marigolds to scrunchies- the yellow items kept appearing all day!
A wonderful experience, and a huge success!
