The global sanitation crisis continues to affect the lives of 2.4 billion people who lack access to safe sanitation. In India alone, over 520 million practice open defecation, which severely increases the risk of neonatal mortality, stunting and contracting infectious diseases.
Although lack of latrines or using them has been widely cited in the mass media as a key factor driving open defecation, very few quantitative studies have focused on it. To address this evidence gap, 3ie is supporting several impact evaluations of interventions to promote latrine use in rural India. We are also committed to supporting the use of quality research evidence to inform decision-making.
In solidarity with World Toilet Day 2017, 3ie organised a panel discussion on the use of evidence to inform India’s sanitation policies and programming on 17 November.

To commemorate its 100th anniversary, IBM commissioned a unique public exhibition called THINK. The exhibition is an examination and a celebration of the human approach to understanding and improving the world through science and technology.
Upon entering the exhibition, visitors pass an LED wall showing live data feeds in vivid color. Once inside, visitors encounter a glowing forest of screens. A breathtaking film charts man’s patterns of progress and understanding. Sosolimited programmed the five interactives that appear on the screens at the end of the film. These interactives explore the history of our progress through Seeing, Mapping, Understanding, Believing, and Acting.
The interactives are visually striking and intuitive, providing visitors with an expansive collection of images, stories, and interviews. These multitouch software applications were designed to seamlessly display large collections of data at high frame rates. We developed the software with OpenFrameworks libraries.
The project was a collaboration between SYPartners, Ralph Applebaum & Associates, George P Johnson, Mirada, and Sosolimited.

Women Rewarded Solar Lights for Adult Literacy
Solar Lantern Distribution To Adult Women PEP TANDOALLAHYAR Oct12th, 2017
Pakistan has one of the lowest literacy rates in the world. The general understanding of literacy in Pakistan is the ability to read and write and unluckily, millions of people in Pakistan are dispossessed of even this. The situation seems even worse when we look into the urban-rural divide. In rural Sindh, women are most deprived of education due to cultural customs which has created gender inequality and has deprived women to have a voice in the society. Through Adult Literacy Education, Primary Education project PEP is on to change that.
Female Adult Literacy program was initiated in 2016. At present PEP is running 26 Female Adult Literacy (FAL) Centers with 316 Female Adult Literacy members (Adult Students) in different areas of rural Sindh as follows,
Khipro48
Mirpurkhas47
Khawaja Goth7
Tando Allahyar80
Tando Ghulam Ali134
There are 6 area officers and 1 WEP coordinator for the implementing and monitoring of the adult literacy program.
As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.

Architecture of Park Campus:
Creation of the Architecture Photography and Understanding Darkroom
Exploring each building character and nature, finding a surreal human character per each building, object and pathways within the exploration of Architecture photography at Park Campus
Representation of the Architecture and Still-life Photography:
Notion towards the Work – What it means and represents
The exploration within the work of architecture photography within self-work is very hard to show the meaning and notion of why, feeling, influences and inspiration towards it, due to the fact it being more of a technical and practical practice of my photography skills with analogue and darkroom practice, to improve and learn from to be furthered into my digital photography practices of the particular area, which I want to specialise in as a career.
The notion towards the work within the architecture is very experimental and technical, remember the type of film used, Aperture, shutter speed and processing times to show self-strengths and improvements which improves the skills within my portraiture, looking into the quality and sharpness of the object and subject, music and documentary, the timing and planning needed for the right photograph (similar to Henri Cartier-Bresson ‘Decisive Moment’ in street or humane photography).
Although mostly it shows the technical side of self-photography skill mostly, it also a secretive agenda of self-expressing the emotion and feelings of that day or week. Similar to the self-identity work during the second year but more in a discreet notion and representation of what my character and nature is like through the lighting, textures and patterns created or designed through the layout of the building or unique architecture which seems relatable and surreally matches my characteristic within the imagery, which is very difficult to explain though words or writing, demonstrating the reasoning of expressing the feelings and emotion through the camera, I use within my analogue.
Overall with analogue photography, it feels more personal and notion than comparing it with a digital photography work. Being more dedicated and patience which feels, like an actual art form within photography of what experienced current and past photographer learnt from, learning from the mistakes and improving on their technical skills as an art form within the photography practices.
It’s worth recalling that in December 2016, the Commissioner for Human Resources Science and Technology, H.E. Dr Martial De Paul Ikounga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Secretary-General of the Association of African Universities (AAU), Professor Etienne Ehouan Ehile.
AAU is the voice of higher education in Africa and has been a lead agency in implementing the continental vision since its founding under the OAU. The African Union Agenda 2063 calls for an education and skills revolution to meet the human resource needs for actualising Africa’s social-economic development. As such, the African university occupies a strategic role in ensuring that our education systems are oriented towards promoting innovation, critical thinking, pan Africanism and entrepreneurial orientations while addressing Africa’s challenges and optimising on its opportunities.
The partnership between the AUC and the AAU over the last decade has witnessed the strengthening of the African higher education space through the promotion of intra-African academic mobility, harmonisation of qualifications for mutual recognition across the Member States; and promotion of a culture of continuous quality improvement through the AU’s African Quality Rating Mechanism.
The AAU has been able to mobilise African academia to appropriate the continental vision of Agenda 2063, and it has helped to build accountable leadership and quality in research and scholarship
GOAL: To increase engagements between the AAU and North America and the Diaspora
Objectives
• Mobilize funds for the advancement of Higher Education in Africa.

Based on the information collected during my ethnographic work focusing my attention on the everyday understandings of dengue fever, and paying particular attention to the different ways in which the subjects that have had dengue described the experience of being unwell, I decided to re-work (collaboratively) all the information gathered so far, to create elements that reflect the ideas of how dengue fever is understood in various different contexts.
Promoters of public health have not taken into consideration the points of view of the patients or those who have had the disease. They design campaigns based on an entomological and clinical point of view, following a standard template where you see health staff –dressed in laboratory coats– talking about environmental hygiene and the purposes of sanitation. In addition, humour doesn’t play a role in the design of the campaigns.
In order to collaboratively create an intervention that reproduces the way Luis Fernando and Sara experienced the disease (you can find information about the ways in which they described the experience of being unwell by accessing my PhD blog: www.anthropologyartscience.blogspot.com), we asked Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega for their help. They are part of Bimana, a collective of artist that creates a variety of large-scale interventions and performances combining a solar balloon, plastic bags, kites, makeup, prosthetics design, and special effects. The idea was to create a fictional character, or a comic anti-hero, that would appear in the public space of the city, creating an active dialogue with different peoples.
Acknowledgments:
I am extremely grateful with the subjects of this ethnography Sara and Luis Fernando. Special thanks to the ‘Bimana Producciones’ team (Alejandro Uribe, Sarita Álvarez and Juan Camilo Ortega), the kite-flyer Andrés Ramírez and the actor Emilio Arango. I would also like to thank the rest of the people that helped during the public experiment: Pablo López, Lucía Tobón, Sara Ibarra, Susana Valencia, Hernán Marín, Mario Valencia, and Gustavo Ramírez.

'Why Catholic?'
Adult formation program assists Catholics in understanding the faith
By Ambria Hammel, The Catholic Sun
March 6, 2008
Hundreds of catechumens and candidates throughout the diocese have been studying the faith’s tradition and Scripture to help them discern why they want to become Catholic.
This Lent, it’s those churchgoers already baptized and confirmed in the faith who are asking themselves, “Why Catholic?”
More than 2,000 Catholics — including special teen and young adult groups at one parish — are meeting weekly at 10 parishes for Renew International’s “Why Catholic?” program. This is the largest response to an adult catechetical program the diocese has ever had.
“Their simple ‘yes’ or fiat, if you will, has made this Lent so different than others in the past,” said Fr. Patrick Mowrer, pastor of San Francisco de Asís Parish in Flagstaff. “I marvel to witness how relationships are being strengthened within the body of Christ.”
