Supporting mothers means supporting the children born to them also”…. This is a common wisdom at LECDEN-KENYA, first promoted in 2007, when during a group therapy counseling session, a lady stood up and asked the Directors the saddest question ever to be discussed at a group therapy session -“what happens to our children when we can no longer get the benefits of treatment, as is the obvious with HIV infection?
A lot of advancements have occurred and this wisdom may no longer have a lot of justification, especially because of life-prolonging ARVs. The fact, however, remains that women still succumb to HIV infection in great numbers and more children are being orphaned. Kenya is now home to over 1.5- 2.0 million orphaned children, mostly due to HIV & AIDS complications. Many orphans face devastations of untold proportions, are neglected, abused and at times, have to take on adult roles at such tender age as 10 years, fending for themselves and for their younger siblings
Prevention among the youth in schools
LECDEN-KENYA recognizes the need to continually engage with the youth in and out of schools to strengthen their understanding of HIV & AIDS and to foster positive behaviour change. To this extent, LECDEN conducts several sensitizations in selected primary schools since the year 2005, and formed more 5 AIDS clubs in primary schools in Nairobi, Makueni, Siaya and Homabay . Our community educators also continue with supportive interactions with AIDS clubs that were formed earlier in Nairobi.
Besides the AIDS clubs, LECDEN-KENYA was able to train 5 orphans in skills of tailoring and on how to support behaviour change communication in schools. These interventions have been able to promote a culture of discussing HIV/ADS in schools and demystified HIV infection. Through the AIDS clubs, a great transformation in thinking, perception and understanding of the pupils, their teachers and their parents has occurred.

"Support is so vital when you are trying to make the transition from a victim to a survivor of domestic abuse. Having DVAC in place when I was fighting for my children and myself would have made such a difference," said Christi Adams (in photo), a survivor of domestic violence.
in my football supporting experience when your local rivals score against you, the normal response is to politely suggest to them where they can go. in buenos aires, the reaction seems to be little more extreme. when river plate scored against boca juniors in el monumental the boca fans started lighting flares and throwing them at the river fans. after they grew tired of this, they then started to set fire to the stands. why those cheeky scamps.
here's the original
On observe quand on y regarde de près une foule de déformations des composantes de la structure. Lorsque l'on comprend bien la façon dont déforment les structures sollicitées avec des charges qui dépassent la résistance élastique des matériaux on est capable de relier ces défauts à une défaillance systémique lors de la conception et de négligences soutenues tout au long de son existence. On ignorait beaucoup de choses mais on ne fouillait pas les questions. comme ingénieur je suis persuadé que si j'avais vécu à l'époque j'aurais de façon responsable réalisé des modèles et maquettes et examiné leurs comportements aux efforts. Hors de tout doute ce pont à depuis plus de dix ans débuté un flambage en renversement latéral. Remarquez qu'à la lecture de très nombreux rapports d'ingénieurs certains de très grand renom je semble avoir été le tout premier à décrire cette situation problématique. Je peux donc comprendre qu'on m'ignore encore mais ma reconnaissance ne saurait beaucoup tarder. Je suis aussi très curieux de constater comment les multiples autorités du domaine impliquées vont gérer la situation. La limite élastique de la structure y est manifestement dépassée . Il y reste "latéralement" je crois plus ou moins 20% de marge de sécurité du métal. Mais comme dans bien des domaines la loi de la nature et de la gravité trouve le chemin de la plus grande faiblesse. On a présentement recours à de la mitigation en interdisant les camions en réduisant la taille des convois et ralentissant les vitesses des trains de vrac. On le ra-bidouille exactement selon les découvertes faites d'après mes observations. J'en suis à penser qu'il serait même obligatoire de consolider cette structure pour même pouvoir la démolir de façon ordonnée. Et ce serait une véritable bombe technique et médiatique quand on annoncera par bribes l'ensemble des bourdes techniques administratives et aussi politiques autour de ce lien et corridor. Rappelons qu'on a il y a plus de cent ans finalement trouvé le financement nécessaire pour articuler ( rentabiliser) une confédération destinée à soutenir l’exploitation des ressources au profit des financiers de Londres et de leurs sbires héritiers du Family Compact maintenant réfugiés dans les paradis fiscaux.
German Wehrmacht Officer uniform 1935 - 1945
In 1935 the Heer introduced a new service tunic for officers and senior NCOs. This was broadly similar to the other-ranks tunic, but differed in detail: the collar was of a taller, more pointed rise-and-fall type, the shoulders were padded, the sleeves had deep turnback cuffs, there was no internal suspension system or grommets for belt hooks, and there were two ramp-buttons at the back of the waist to support the belt.
Since officers had to purchase their own uniforms, many of these tunics were either tailor-made or produced by gentlemen's clothiers, and if purchased for service dress for the most part used high-quality wool gabardine (Trikot), doeskin or whipcord. For this reason the officers' Dienstrock did not undergo the cost-saving changes which affected the enlisted M36, and kept its green collar and scalloped, pleated pockets throughout the war. After the Army authorized wearing the collar open with a necktie in 1943, some officers' tunics were made with fixed lapels like the Luftwaffe Tuchrock.
Trousers were either slate-grey (later field-grey) Langhosen, or breeches worn with high boots. Generals and General Staff officers wore wide trouser-stripes of scarlet or carmine-red, respectively.
Although the M35 remained the regulation service-dress uniform, soon after the outbreak of the war, officers in combat units of the rank of regimental commander or below were ordered to wear the more practical (and less conspicuous) other-ranks uniform for frontline service, and save the "good" uniform for walking-out, office and garrison wear; some of these EM tunics were privately modified with French cuffs and officer-style collars. Nonetheless, many officers ignored regulations and wore the Dienstrock at the front, sometimes even with breeches.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Dozens of Soldiers from the 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) joined members of veteran services organizations to honor the families of fallen heroes during the 6th Annual Operation: Love Letters event conducted March 24, 2018, at St. John Vianney Catholic School in Orlando.
Hosted by the Orlando Survivor Outreach Services, a U.S. Army community support program dedicated to helping families cope with grief from losing loved ones who have served their country. Operation: Love Letters provides a forum of fellowship for family members to share their memories of the deceased through food, games, music, arts and crafts. Conceived in Orlando in 2013, this local activity has transformed into a U.S. Army sponsored flagship program for the entire nation with international reach.
The event commenced with full military honors as the 143d ESC’s color guard and the Patriot Riders Guard led the opening ceremony in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Star-Spangled Banner. The color guard then set up a Fallen Comrade table and conducted a “13 Folds” ceremony to honor all American service members who made the ultimate sacrifice.
Miles Espaillat, the youngest of three sons of Maj. Gen. Francisco Espaillat, lit the candle on the Fallen Comrade Table. Espaillat’s father served as the commanding general of the 143d ESC from 2014-2016. He died of a heart attack April 7, 2017, while serving as general officer for the Office of the Chief of the Army Reserve.
After the opening ceremony, the family members shared their most cherished memories of their son, daughter, parent or spouse. Some brought framed photos while others baked their loved ones’ favorite dessert. The 143d ESC Soldiers joined several family members in creating crafts and writing love letters.
Representatives from the USO, Veterans Affairs, Operation Military Matters and the Orlando Vet Center also attended the festivities to share the many free resources such as grief counseling, care packages, and financial assistance tailored to families coping with the loss of a loved one.
Operation: Love Letters concluded with its most cherished tradition as Soldiers, families and volunteers gathered at the school’s courtyard to release dozens of balloons with messages addressed to their fallen heroes.
