EDV is leading the construction of a new, expanded workshop for REBUILD Globally. This new workshop will be comprised of recycled shipping containers and existing structures on land donated by the Caribbean Lodge Hotel and will allow for the hiring of up to 40 more Haitian employees.
Employment is key to sustainable recovery in Haiti ...because for many Haitians, the earthquake’s effects have gone well beyond just destroying buildings. The disaster also robbed many of their livelihoods, leaving them without means to rebuild their lives.
We are honoured to help REBUILD expand their operations by using volunteer labour to construct their new workshop.
Thanks to REBUILD Globally and the Caribbean Lodge Hotel for letting us get our hands dirty on this great project.

Almost 3500 internally displaced people have been successfully relocated from the UN Protection of Civilians site in Juba to a new site within the community in a joint effort between the United Nations Mission in South Sudan and humanitarian agencies.
“This is the first movement of displaced people of this magnitude out of the UN Juba protection site. Almost all of those relocated were women and children,” said the UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General and Head of UNMISS, David Shearer. “They had expressed a strong desire to leave the UN site and to be reunited with their husbands and other family members. Early indications and, in my discussions with those who moved, is that they are pleased to be back in the wider community.”
The combined effort to relocate the families to an existing site at Mangateen in the central city followed an UNMISS-negotiated end to sporadic fighting between various groups within the UN protection camp over the past few weeks that threatened vulnerable civilians inside. Once a resolution was reached and people expressed a desire to leave, humanitarian agencies and UNMISS worked quickly and cooperatively to establish temporary housing at Mangateen along with clean water, sanitation and health services.
“All those involved in the relocation process realized the seriousness of the situation given the large number of vulnerable women and children being moved. It was a true team effort to carry out the massive logistical task of transporting and supporting these families in a new location within just a few days,” said David Shearer.
The Mangateen site has traditionally been managed by the South Sudan Government’s Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and it will continue to do so. Humanitarian agencies will provide additional assistance on request.
“I am particularly grateful for the Government’s rapid response to this situation which ensured that people were able to be safely moved and accommodated back in the community,” said David Shearer.
“Hundreds of thousands of people fled to UN protection sites across South Sudan out of fear for their lives during the ongoing conflict. But these camps are not a good long-term option for families,” said David Shearer. “If people have the trust and confidence that the environment is safe enough for them to voluntarily return home, UNMISS is poised to assist them. But providing that confidence in the security situation very much lies with the Government.”

That makes a dozen squirrels we have captured and relocated across the river. With fewer squirrels, we are able to pick some of our ripe tomatoes, before they get snatched up!

As some of you know, I've begun working with the Japanese-American Museum of San Jose to photograph Japanese-American people who were interned in the U.S. relocation camps during WWII. A few weeks ago I met Art Shibayama. Here's a story, that very people have ever heard of.
Arturo Shibayama was born in Peru to parents of Japanese descent. When he was 11 years old, he and his family were forcibly taken from their home in the city of Lima, loaded onto a U.S. Army transport ship and brought under armed guard to the U.S. for the purpose of hostage exchange.
Art was held in the Department of Justice camp in Crystal City, TX for 2-1/2 years. Even after being drafted into the US Army during the Korean Conflict, Art was unable to get American citizenship because he had not entered the U.S. legally.
Today, Art works with the Japanese-American Citizen League to lobby the American government for proper acknowledgement and apology for illegally detaining 2200 Latin American nationals of Japanese descent in US prison camps during WWII. He told me that we testified in front of Congress, many US congress-people said they had never even heard of this story.
You can read more of this amazing story at the SJNOC website, as well as the Tracked in America site.

While on an outing with Ben, we came across A church that had a unique graveyard on its property. There were a large quantity of tomb stones lined up in the front of the cemetery, my guess would be that there were close to a hundred. We could only assume that these were the stones from another cemetery, and were relocated to this site.

Gourdough's was opened in 2009 out of a 1978 Airstream trailer by Paula Samford and Ryan Palmer. Originally stationed at 1219 South Lamar, they relocated to 1503 South 1st Street and in just a few short years, the trailer had served their creative menu of 23 made-to-order fried dough concoctions to thousands of hungry Austinites.

AFTER AWHILE IT WAS NOT MANNED BUT THE LIGHT WAS STILL TURNED ON AT NIGHT TO SOOTH THE APPREHENSIONS OF THE LOCAL RESIDENTS OF THE AREA.
CEA Projects Myanmar recently undertook a project for the moving of a 25-year-old bottle washer from Wardan in downtown Yangon to the clients’ new soft drink manufacturing plant 20kms away in the Northern Yangon district of Shwe Pyi Thar.
The washer weighed over 45 Tonnes and had been affixed in the same position since its installation over 25 years ago. The washers dimensions of 14m x 3.4m x 4m (LxWxH) resulted in a careful and meticulous removal as the washer was moved from its original operating area, skated through 90 degrees then jacked 1.2 meters off the ground and readied for transportation.
Due to the complexity of the Transportation, special permits were required from six Yangon Townships prior to moving the washer. Due to certain height restrictions on the roads in Yangon transportation began in the early hours to take advantage of the low volume of traffic. CEA teams ensured that power lines, traffic lights and other potential roadside hazards were avoided and kept intact throughout the journey.
Upon arrival at the new plant, the washer was turned to the correct angle and carefully skated into position. The final procedure consisted of levelling the washer to the correct height making it ready for installation and operation. Once again CEA Myanmar in conjunction with CEA Thailand have shown their expertise in a potentially difficult and challenging project that’s was completed on time safely and within budget.

The Zacuto FS100 Grip Relocator gives users the choice to place the Sony FS100 removable grip onto any 15mm rod. The FS100 handle attaches to our Grip Relocator with a single ¼ 20 screw and a locator pin. You can place the FS100 Relocator at a handgrip for shoulder mounted work or anywhere on a rig that is most suitable for you and your set up. It uses Zacuto’s Zwivel technology so it can be swiveled up and forward or straight down for ideal comfort and rig compatibility.
With the FS100 Grip Relocator, users can comfortably control start/stop of the camera while working shoulder mounted. The Sony grip comes with a 12" cable. We recommend adding this LANC extension cable for more flexibility.

This photo has been taken as part of the scientific effort of the salvage archaeologist team H.U.N.E. to document the Sudanese Arab tribe of the Manasir and their cultural landscape 'Dar al-Manasir' situated at the Fourth Cararact of the River Nile.
The homeland of the Manasir will be submerged by the reservoir lake of the Hamdab High Dam (Merowe Multi-Purpose Hydro Project) in the very near future and all inhabitants have to be relocated by the Sudanese government.

The Top Hat Diner was a popular restaurant in Kingston. It was removed and relocated years ago for of all things, a parking lot.
I've been wanting to get a portrait of my brother Kevin up here, and today I took this photo of him and I think it's the best one of him yet. It capture his "cool" attitude and his career in one photo. This is my brother in all his glory right here.
You've probably figured by looking at the photo that Kevin is a truck driver, but actually he is a relocation specialist or "mover". His job is much more involved than just driving trucks, and he's always quick to remind everyone of this. Truck drivers don't carry heavy dressers and couches down narrow staircases on a regular basis. Kevin does.
