Photo exhibition at the Palais des Nations entitled "Shared Risks, Shared Responsibility: Opportunities for Cooperation".
This photo exhibit is an event to highlight existing practices and opportunities to build disaster resilient communities and nations, as part of the Hyogo Framework for Action (HFA), a ten-year plan endorsed by the General Assembly in 2005 to coordinate country efforts to reduce disaster risk.
It provides visual evidence of how countries are interpreting the HFA principles to reduce risk to protect and advance development, and the need for this important work to be fully integrated into sustainable development initiatives.

During Faiza's, the Community Development Officer, trip to Sudan, she gave training to five members of the team in Zalingei, Western Sudan. This included the Project Officer for Local Security Livelihood; Engineer; Project Officer for Small Businesses; Social Services/Education Officer; and the Logistics Officer.
They received training on procurement and finance, in order to be able to administer this training to the beneficiaries themselves so that they are able to effectively run the sub-projects themselves. The CDRD process relies on communities to do the procurement and manage the financial activities.
Faiza delivered the training through a number of different activities - flip-chart exercises, video – 7 modules PICD, card games and interactive exercises, as can be seen in these photos.

A series of images showing the planting of pineapple in Ghana. Pineapple likes to grow on slopes, plus the Ghanaian climate suits this fruit perfectly.
Modern agronomic standards are being applied on this farm, though compared to the highly automated production in other parts of the world, the impact on the environment is less and farming in Ghana remains relatively labour intensive. This does provide valuable employment, and in this instance serves a sustainable, local fruit processing manufacturer with an admirable record in social responsibility.
One very obvious fact shown here is that pineapples do not grow on trees!
A good end customer helps a lot as inputs are relatively high when growing to this standard. It takes commitment also. It takes 13 months from the time a sucker is planted to the point of harvesting the single fruit it eventually produces.

LEAFLET distributed in Hydra in April 2007:
.
ΤΙ ΑΞΙΖΕΙ ΓΙΑ ΜΑΣ ΑΥΤΟ ΤΟ ΜΟΝΑΔΙΚΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΑΝΕΜΟΡΦΟ ΜΟΝΟΠΑΤΙ;
.
Στην ομιλία του (Αίθουσα Μελίνα Μερκούρι, 1 Απριλίου 2007) ο Νομάρχης Πειραιά μίλησε για την επίστρωση του δρόμου από Καμίνι στο Βλυχό.
.
«Η ανάπλαση της παραλιακής ζώνης από την Ύδρα έως το Καμίνι με έργα ηλεκτροφωτισμού, ύδρευσης και πλακοστρώσεις, καθώς και το έργο της επίστρωσης του δρόμου από Μικρό Καμίνι έως το γεφυράκι του Βλυχού, συνολικο ύψους 995.00 ευρώ είναι ακόμη μία φιλόδοξη πρόταση που ελπίζουμε να εξασφαλίσει όλες τις απαραίτητες εγκρίσεις και να υλοποιηθεί το συντομότερο δυνατό.»
.
ΠΡΟΣΟΧΗ – Ο δρόμος πρέπει να παραμείνει ΧΩΜΑΤΟΔΡΟΜΟΣ.
.
Να συντηρηθεί, να επισκευασθεί, αλλα να μην αλλάξει η μορφή του με πλακόστρωση.
.
WHAT IS THIS UNIQUE AND EXQUISITE FOOTPATH WORTH TO US?
.
In his speech in Melina Mercouri Hall on 1 April 2007, the Nomarchis of Piraeus announced plans to pave the coastal footpath from Kamini to Vlichos.
“The transformation of the coastal area from Hydra to Kamini with installation of electric lighting, drainage and paving, and also paving [?cement] of the road from Mikro Kamini to the little bridge at Vlichos, total sum 995,000 euros, is another ambitious proposal which we hope can fulfil all the necessary planning consents and can be carried out as soon as possible.”
WE PROTEST…! This must remain an EARTH PATH. It must be maintained, but its natural state must not be changed by PAVING it with stones or cement.
