"七転び八起き"-(Always rising after a fall) is a Japanese proverb literally translated to, "fall seven times and stand up eight," and meaning, "When life knocks you down, stand back up / Keep trying,"-from Wikipedia. Support Japan in their time of need as they are always supporting others.
One of my submissions for the 1000 Cranes for Japan group and just a visual representation of my support. I'll be physically helping by sending the cranes I make to Paper Cranes for Japan to raise $2 per crane (money generously donated by Bezos Family Foundation) to help reach the goal of 100,000 cranes and $200,000 donated. The money donated from the Bezos Family Foundation will go towards reconstruction efforts in Japan by Architecture for Humanity.
I have also sent this photo in an email to 1000cranes@miyacompany.com because for every crane picture sent, the Miya Company will donate $5 to Save the Children to aid in their relief and recovery effort in Japan.

"O corpo existe e pode ser pego. E é suficientemente opaco para que se possa vê-lo."
Arnaldo Antunes
In 'Movimento VIII'
2000
- Trabalho pedagógico com crianças carentes a beira da vulnerabilidade social que partilham, na maioria, histórias de exclusão, abuso e solidão... histórias tristes escondidas por trás de sorrisos tímidos e olhares curiosos. Grande parte delas, filhas de recicladores, desempregados, presidiários. São moradores de um pequeno bairro as margens da cidade. São crianças que lutam por visibilidade e ainda acreditam em um futuro.
- Esta não é apenas uma brincadeira de criança... é uma caça por comida. Pombos.

In 'Moviment VIII'
2000
- Pedagogical work with poor children on the verge of social vulnerability that they share, mostly, histories of exclusion, abuse and loneliness ... sad stories hidden behind shy smiles and curious eyes. Most of them are sons of recyclers, unemployed, prisoners. They are residents of a small neighborhood in the edge of town. They are children who struggle for visibility and still believe in the future.
- This is not just child's play ... is a hunt for food. Doves.

The Baloch alternative transliterations Baluch, Balouch, Bloach, Balooch, Balush, Balosh, Baloosh, Baloush) are an Iranian people inhabiting the region of Balochistan in the southeast corner of the Iranian plateau in Southwest Asia, including parts of Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
The Baloch speak Balochi, which is a northwestern Iranian language. They mainly inhabit mountainous terrains, which have allowed them to maintain a distinct cultural identity and resist domination by neighbouring rulers. The Baloch are predominantly Muslim, with most belonging to the Hanafi school of thought of Sunni Islam, but there are also a significant number belonging to Shia school of thought in Balochistan. Some 60 percent of the total Baloch population live in Pakistan. About 25 percent inhabit the contiguous region of southeastern Iran. Baloch population is estimated at about 8,800,000. "In Pakistan the Balochi people are divided into two groups, the Sulaimani and the Makrani, separated from each other by a compact block of Brahui tribes.

"Worst of all, violence against women and girls continues unabated in every continent, country and culture. It takes a devastating toll on women’s lives, on their families and on society as a whole. Most societies prohibit such violence -- yet the reality is that, too often, it is covered up or tacitly condoned." (UN SECRETARY-GENERAL in International Women’s Day 2007 Message.)
“Almost every country in the world still has laws that discriminate against women, and promises to remedy this have not been kept.” (UN High Commissioner for Human Rights on the eve of International Women's Day 2008)
According to one United Nations estimate, 113 to 200 million women are “demographically missing” from the world today. That is to say, there should be 113 to 200 million more women walking the earth, who aren’t. By that same estimate, 1.5 to 3 million women and girls lose their lives every year because of gender-based neglect or gender-based violence and Sexual Violence in Conflict.
In addition to torture, sexual violence and rape by occupation forces, a great number of women and girls are kept locked up in their homes by a very real fear of abduction and criminal abuse. In war and conflicts, girls and women have been denied their human right, including the right to health, education and employment. “Sexual violence in conflict zones is indeed a security concern. We affirm that sexual violence profoundly affects not only the health and safety of women, but the economic and social stability of their nations” –US Secretary of State, Condoleeza Rice, 19 June 2008 (Read more about UN Action against Sexual Violence in Conflict www.stoprapenow.org/ ).
Millions of young women disappear in their native land every year. Many of them are found later being held against their will in other places and forced into prostitution. According to the UNICEF ( www.unicef.org/gender/index_factsandfigures.html ),Girls between 13 and 18 years of age constitute the largest group in the sex industry. It is estimated that around 500,000 girls below 18 are victims of trafficking each year. The victims of trafficking and female migrants are sometimes unfairly blamed for spreading HIV when the reality is that they are often the victims.
According to the UNAIDS around 17.3 million, women (almost half of the total number of HIV-positive) living with HIV ( www.unaids.org ). While HIV is often driven by poverty, it is also associated with inequality, gender-based abuses and economic transition. The relationship between abuses of women's rights and their vulnerability to AIDS is alarming. Violence and discrimination prevents women from freely accessing HIV/AIDS information, from negotiating condom use, and from resisting unprotected sex with an HIV-positive partner, yet most of the governments have failed to take any meaningful steps to prevent and punish such abuse.
United Nations agencies estimated that every year 3 million girls are at risk of undergoing the procedure – which involves the partial or total removal of external female genital organs – that some 140 million women, mostly in Asia, the Middle East and in Africa, have already endured.
We can point a finger at poverty. But poverty alone does not result in these girls and women’s deaths and suffering; the blame also falls on the social system and attitudes of the societies.
India alone accounts for more than 50 million of the women who are “missing” due to female foeticide - the sex-selective abortion of girls, dowry death, gender-based neglect and all forms of violence against women.
Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror in India. Experts are calling it "sanitized barbarism”. The 2001 Census conducted by Government of India, showed a sharp decline in the child sex ratio in 80% districts of India. In some parts of the country, the sex ratio of girls to boys has dropped to less than 800:1,000.
It's alarming that even liberal states like those in the northeast have taken to disposing of girls. Worryingly, the trend is far stronger in urban rather than rural areas, and among literate rather than illiterate women, exploding the myth that growing affluence and spread of basic education alone will result in the erosion of gender bias. The United Nations has expressed serious concern about the situation.
Over the years, laws have been made stricter and the punishment too is more stringent now. But since many people manage to evade punishment, others too feel inclined to take the risk. Just look at the way sex-determination tests go on despite a stiff ban on them. Only if the message goes out loud and clear that nobody who dares to snuff out the life of a female foetus would escape effective legal system would the practice end. It is only by a combination of monitoring, education, socio-cultural campaigns, and effective legal implementation that the deep-seated attitudes and practices against women and girls can be eroded.
The decline in the sex ratio and the millions of Missing Women are indicators of the feudal patriarchal resurgence. Violence against women has gone public – whether it is dowry murders, the practice of female genital mutilation, honour killings, sex selective abortions or death sentences awarded to young lovers from different communities by caste councils, rapes and killings in communal and caste violence, it is only women’s and human rights groups who are protesting – the public and institutional response to these trends is very minimal.
Millions of women suffer from discrimination in the world of work. This not only violates a most basic human right, but has wider social and economic consequences. Most of the governments turn a blind eye to illegal practices and enact and enforce discriminatory laws. Corporations and private individuals engage in abusive and sexist practices without fear of legal system.
More women are working now than ever before, but they are also more likely than men to get low-productivity, low-paid and vulnerable jobs, with no social protection, basic rights nor voice at work according to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO) issued for International Women’s Day 2008. Are we even half way to meeting the eight Millennium Development Goals?

Bangkok. A lot of families, arriving from north and east of Thailand, use to live in shanty towns just near the railroads.
As the town grows up and new buildings and commercial centres are built, they have to move farther and farther from the centre.
Here those girls was showing me loy Kratong dance ;o)
they just learned at school.
humanitarian and documentary photography
---About this Video---
A lot of my documentary work includes my photos with music so this is great for me. :-)
The following clip is from a documentary I am working on about humanitarian work in the Philippines.
The children in this video live in small villages in the Philippines. One of the villages is actually at the local dumpsite where some of the children work. Two of the villages would be considered farming villages. Despite farming and working the people here are poor, living on less than a dollar ($1 US) a day.
I get to travel to the Philippines a few times a year to visit with the people in the villages.
Enjoy and as always comment or add me.
Time for new wish buT still every heart want
to go back to the Time...,
when getting high meant on a swing,
when drinking meant apple juice,
when dad was the only hero,
when love was mum's hug,
when dad shoulder was the highest place on earth,
when ur worst enemies were ur siblings,
when the only thing tht could hurt were wounded knees,
when the only things broken were toys and
when GOODBYE meant only till tomorrow..
WISH U A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR

Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh refer to the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh. On 22 Oct 2017, the UN reported that an estimated 603,000 refugees from Rakhine, Myanmar had crossed the border into Bangladesh since August 25, 2017. There are about 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
Rohingyas are a Muslim minority in Myanmar regarded by many Myanmar Buddhists as illegal migrants from Bangladesh. The Rohingyas have lived in Myanmar for generations and the Bangladesh government has called for Myanmar to take back the refugees. They are denied citizenship in Myanmar and have been described as the world’s most persecuted minority. Rohingyas are persecuted in Myanmar by security forces and Buddhist extremists. Myanmar has denied persecuting the Rohingyas.
Since the 1970s Rohingya refugees have been coming to Bangladesh from Myanmar. In the 1990s, more than 250,000 resided in refugees camps in Bangladesh. In the early 2000s, all but 20,000 of them were repatriated to Myanmar, some against their will. This respite ended in 2015 and by 2017, an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 Rohinya refugees were in Bangladesh. Most of the refugees are located along the Teknaf-Cox's Bazar highway that is parallel to the Naf River, which is the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Most of the refugees are located in or near Cox's Bazar, a coastal area dependent upon tourism.

this is for Tony's "Hats for Haiti" group. I have given to the Haiti Relief Effort through Save the Children. Children are so vulnerable in these kind of disasters when they have lost or been separated from their parents or caregivers. Sadly, there are people who see profit in kidnapping vulnerable, parentless and homeless children. Save the Children not only works to take care of children's medical and physical needs, but also protects them from these evil traffickers. Save the Children is "A" rated by charitywatch.org for it's efficiency in helping Haiti in this crisis. This means the majority of the money you give to this organization is going directly to Haiti to make a difference.
Update on 26th March, Rogvon has won the charity bid at USD$50!! Thank you so much for your generosity! :)

On Tuesday a 7.1 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico City.
We were just recovering from the one that struck the coast in Chiapas 2 weeks ago. (The strongest to hit in a century, registered 8.2 on the Richter scale).
At least 278 people are dead, including 32 children.
Thousands injured and hundreds still missing. Rescuers from all over the world are working around the clock to find victims under 44 collapsed buildings.
Many parts of Mexico City, Puebla, Morelos, Chiapas and Oaxaca are devastated. Mexico needs your help. No matter how small, everything helps. If you're looking for a way to contribute, please consider the following organizations:

Cruz Roja
(i know is in spanish but id really easy :))
Giving support and thank you Kira Balestra for share this! ♥
This is really important, this time to happen in Mexico, other times to been in other places, but at some point we can happen to anyone, given that this planet is slowly crumbling and is our responsibility, and for that very reason, I feel it is our duty to contribute our help in any way, however small, it is always help, the ugly thing would be to sit idly by and look the other way.
It costs nothing, and the effect is immense.
Thanks to all those who in one way or another, collaborate in this or in the causes that are, but the fact is to help.

Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh refer to the Rohingya refugees from Myanmar living in Bangladesh. On 22 Oct 2017, the UN reported that an estimated 603,000 refugees from Rakhine, Myanmar had crossed the border into Bangladesh since August 25, 2017. There are about 1 million Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh.
Rohingyas are a Muslim minority in Myanmar regarded by many Myanmar Buddhists as illegal migrants from Bangladesh. The Rohingyas have lived in Myanmar for generations and the Bangladesh government has called for Myanmar to take back the refugees. They are denied citizenship in Myanmar and have been described as the world’s most persecuted minority. Rohingyas are persecuted in Myanmar by security forces and Buddhist extremists. Myanmar has denied persecuting the Rohingyas.
Since the 1970s Rohingya refugees have been coming to Bangladesh from Myanmar. In the 1990s, more than 250,000 resided in refugees camps in Bangladesh. In the early 2000s, all but 20,000 of them were repatriated to Myanmar, some against their will. This respite ended in 2015 and by 2017, an estimated 300,000 to 500,000 Rohinya refugees were in Bangladesh. Most of the refugees are located along the Teknaf-Cox's Bazar highway that is parallel to the Naf River, which is the border between Bangladesh and Myanmar. Most of the refugees are located in or near Cox's Bazar, a coastal area dependent upon tourism.

"七転び八起き"-(Always rising after a fall) is a Japanese proverb literally translated to, "fall seven times and stand up eight," and meaning, "When life knocks you down, stand back up / Keep trying,"-from Wikipedia. Support Japan in their time of need as they are always supporting others.
One of my submissions for the 1000 Cranes for Japan group and just a visual representation of my support. I'll be physically helping by sending the cranes I make to Paper Cranes for Japan to raise $2 per crane (money generously donated by Bezos Family Foundation) to help reach the goal of 100,000 cranes and $200,000 donated. The money donated from the Bezos Family Foundation will go towards reconstruction efforts in Japan by Architecture for Humanity.
I have also sent this photo in an email to 1000cranes@miyacompany.com because for every crane picture sent, the Miya Company will donate $5 to Save the Children to aid in their relief and recovery effort in Japan.
Save the Children.
Innocent children as young as this child on my portrait get caught in conflicts around the world and get killed or get injured or become disabled. These children have nothing to do with man made conflicts, they were just happened to be born in those regions. These children suffer the consequences of ugly political games that are played by all Super Powers and groups that spread terror. Most terror groups are often funded by Super Power Nations using them as tools to manipulate political situations in various regions in the world.
Save the Children, because the children give you hope that this world will be a better place someday.

I think all of you guyz know what happened in Japan. It happened a while now (when I was in Costa Rica), but I didn't want to act like nothing happened because it does. I felt it wasn't too late, because the disaster and wasted lives are still there. In this moment, people are still searching for their family, friends...someone.
It's in moments like this I realize how much lucky I am to have everything I have. House, clothes, money...and I'm not talking about material stuff. I talk about my family, friends, and alos you guyz. Healthy and alive. Next time you're complaning about your little problems, just think about what happened in Japan, or Haiti. Right, we ar elcuky guyz and we have to appreciate what we have...and what we don't.
Pray For Japan <3

"Ethnically driven violence intensified in Kenya on Sunday, and police officials said at least 19 people, including 11 children, were burned to death in a house by a mob".
This picture was taken in September 2007 in Kibera (Nairobi - Kenya). Kibera is one of the biggest slums in Africa. There were about 40 children crowded in a small room where the only source of light came from a tiny window. They were as curious about me as I was about them. Their eyes tell the story better than anything I could write...
This picture is dedicated to all those children who lost their lives in Naivasha and elsewhere in Kenya. Innocent victims of nonsense violence.
" Hand in Hand for Syria " is a registered charity based in the UK.
They take ambulances, medical relief and emergency aid right into Syria.
They have also built a basic hospital and a paediatric unit ...
4 million people are displaced within Syria itself.
2 million and counting are displaced outside Syria's borders.......

Traveling around the world might sound like a very exciting thing. People may think, that it's always about having fun and enjoying yourself. Unfortunately, there is much more behind all this and there are so many moments, that make you feel so bad, so sad and angry. And I'm not even talking about bad weather conditions, or some mechanical or paperwork issues, while you are on the road.
There is a huge amount of cotton fields in Turkmenistan. We were quite lucky to catch the season and all those fields were full of people picking the cotton up. We noticed, that people work in traditional costumes and stoped by to, take couple of pictures, as those are bright and colorful and always look great.
But as soon as we stopped, we noticed that there are lots of small kids working as well. I'm not sure, if they forced to do that job or maybe they just help their parents, but it is really-really sad to see little kids working on the fields under the melting hot sun.
They were happy to see us and bikes, they smiled, seemed to be happy, but it really hurts, though!
Here is the artwork I created to raise money for Japan after the tsunami on 11th March 2011.

Despite everything that this awful year has thrown at us, the Christmas season has arrived – and here in Teddington, traders, restaurateurs, our MP and a small crowd gathered to switch on the festive lights. It had rained nonstop all day – but come the hour, at 6.30pm, the heavens miraculously dried up, and smiles were in big supply.
