To Support Displaced Youth from Fallujah
Inauguration of Temporary Premises of Fallujah University (Dorms and Classrooms)
in Abu Ghraib, Baghdad
On 23 June 2016, the temporary premises of Fallujah University, located inside the Veterinary College, Baghdad University in Abu Ghraib, were inaugurated. With the generous contribution from the Government of Japan, the temporary premises of Fallujah University were established by the United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) providing 25 classrooms and 128 residential units that can accommodate 512 students, in addition to basic site infrastructure and an administration building. The project aimed at supporting displaced youth who bear enormous and long-lasting human, social and economic costs.
His Excellency Mr. Sohaib Al-Rawi, Governor of Anbar, who attended the event, commented that while the Anbar Governorate has been supporting institutions displaced by violence outside and within Anbar, including Fallujah University, the ongoing financial crisis has affected all aspects of people’s lives and limited the government’s capacity to support. The Governor acknowledged the efforts of UN agencies and the ongoing support of UN-Habitat on housing self-repair and shelter projects within Ramadi. He expressed his gratitude to all those who stand with people of Iraq, and specifically of Fallujah, in the midst of the hardship they face.
On UN-Habitat’s side, Dr. Erfan Ali, Head of Iraq Programme, pointed out that lack of access to education among youth is one of the key factors that fuel a cycle of poverty, hopelessness and frustration. He expressed his hope that these new premises of Fallujah University will enable young women and men from Fallujah to continue their education and play an active role as agents of positive and constructive change.
Mr. Hirofumi Miyake, Chargé d'Affaires ad interim, Embassy of Japan in Iraq, stated that Japan also has its own internally displaced persons, resulting from disasters of tsunamis, earthquakes, debris, and the latest nuclear accident, and therefore the people of Japan understand very well the importance of support to displaced persons in Iraq. He further emphasized that Japan will continue to sustain the efforts of UN-Habitat to improve the living conditions of the displaced persons in Iraq.
Dr. Ibraheem Abdulkareem, Deputy President of Fallujah University, stated that the completion of the new premises of Fallujah University has provided a glimpse of hope in the heart of displaced students, and he recognized that the inauguration is concomitant to the liberation of Fallujah.
On his part, Mr. Sattar Nawroz Khan, General Director of Migration at the Ministry of Migration and Displacement, praised the joint cooperation and partnership between multiple actors, including the Governments of Iraq and Japan, Anbar Governorate, Fallujah University, and UN-Habitat, that enabled the positive results of the overall project.
This project was implemented within the framework of larger programme titled “Humanitarian Support to Internally Displaced Persons in Iraq through Provision of Durable Shelter,” funded by the Government of Japan, aiming to improve the living conditions of internally displaced persons in Iraq through the provision of prefabricated durable shelters, and thereby to support and strengthen their self reliance.

The completed installation serving the Olympic practice courts at the Lee valley. 4x 200kw Advanced Cooling temporary rental AHU's can be seen with related ductwork
Took five mins to set up this shelter for the night! Wooden decking base, waterproof sheet on top of that, metal swing frame with a tarp over the top! Sorted! Just need to put my sleeping bag and tea lights in and I'm in business
Simon loves temporary tattoos. I usually help him put the tattoos on his arm or hand. Yesterday he asked me if he could do it himself. So I watched as he carefully applied one to his hand.
Today when I picked him up from his grandparent's house, this is how he looked.
Once he got the hang of giving himself face tattoos, he moved on to his brother.
Another shot from the same shrine grounds in Kyoto, this time showing the temporary 'shelters' (cannot call the really restaurants, despite the title) where people can have some food while wtaching at the trees - typical setting for matsuris in general, not only hanami.
because i'm not like normal people, i'm sitting in the near dark, with light from the hall and from the oven / stove extractor, along with my laptop as my only light sources.
garbage were only happy when it rains. i'm only happy sitting in near darkness... rain is a bonus...
One day this will be the computer lab, but for now we're storing books here and if you wind your way around, you can find the checkout desk, too!

The Buddhist concept of heaven and hell is entirely different from that in other religions. Buddhists do not accept that these places are eternal. It is unreasonable to condemn a man to eternal hell for his human weakness but quite reasonable to give him every chance to develop himself. From the Buddhist point of view, those who go to hell can work themselves upward by making use of the merit that they had acquired previously. There are no locks on the gates of hell. Hell is a temporary place and there is no reason for those beings to suffer there forever.
A temporary set of stairs with landing was built for guests to access the dock. A private party was held inside and this was the only way to gain access.
The stairs were secured to the dock to keep everything stable and safe.

So in my new place, the largest space I've ever lived in, I am missing a lot of furniture. Hence my temporary shrine-o-books... :)

the third drawer down has a mind of its own and oft times will just willy-nilly open itself up. (somewhat disconcerting but, no, i don't think it's a poltergeist.) after living with this intermittent foible it has for several months now, last week i had an "ah, ha" moment and stuck the spatula in the second drawer's handle which keeps the third drawer shut........ ta-dah

"Wat kijk je somber", twitterde de gele kwikstaart tot de struweelhaag waar hij op stond. "We genieten toch lekker in de zon?" "Ja, ja, dat zeg jij", antwoordde de struweelhaag. "Je weet toch dat wij hier TIJDELIJK zitten in afwachting van het toekomstige Werklandschap Wijkevoort. Vroeg of later worden wij geacht te verhuizen." "Nou ja, dan vlieg ik toch gewoon naar Breda, Gilze of Rijen. Struweelhagen zat, geen probleem hoor!"
"Voor jou niet, maar wat dacht je van mij! Wij struweelhagen zijn altijd de klos. Als de shovel nadert kunnen wij niet vluchten. Maar goed, het is wat het is. We berusten er maar in..." De gele kwikstaart hoorde het al niet meer. Hij zag in zijn ooghoek een buizerd naderen en piepte er als een vuurpijl tussenuit.
