Students from ten regions across South Sudan have been praised for their winning essays, which have highlighted women’s contribution to durable peace in the country.
Three of the best students writers received trophies at an event in the country’s capital, on Wednesday, May 9th where hundreds gathered to briefly hear from some of the students, government representatives and the head of the United Nations’ Mission in South Sudan.
The student essays highlighted the need for women to be involved in national building; conflict resolution; ending tribalism; unity, and economic development, among other issues.
Ninety high schools participated in the essay competition.

And we wrapped up our Jaipur India Projects on Friday. It was emotional because leaving is always the hardest part but these women and girls are in good hands with Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena
Our combined efforts have raised over $1000 from our family and friends with $845 of that coming from the DivaGirl members and supporters and more donations are coming in from Cathie Berrey and Elisa De La Torre.
With these contributions, we were able to gift 3 sewing machines to Naya Sawera women’s self help group:
- 8-10 underwear each
- one pack of pads each
- 3 sewing machines
- fabrics
- groceries each day
- 2 underwear for each girl
- pads
- toys
- art supplies
- self care packs for the Blind School for Girls (lotion, face wash, pads, lip balm, oil, chocolate)
- snacks and chocolates for the kids
- so much more. Volunteering Abroad is NOT for everyone.
Culture shock is real and you need to keep an open mind when you are volunteering abroad because your culture will be very different from the culture of the country you’re visiting.
You are not there to change their culture, “make it better”, or even solve their problems.
You are there to let them know that they matter despite the harsh circumstances they’re in in life.
You are there giving your time and energy because they are valued in a place where it can be hopeless.
We are NOT their saviors.
We ask them for what they need and they needed underwear, sanitary pads, self worth (in a patriarchal country), self esteem boost, a sustainable way of living (3 sewing machines and fabrics) and to have a little bit of fun!
You are there to connect and let them feel seen, heard and validated, because as my new young friend from India, Shanaya, said, “It doesn’t matter what country you’re from, what language you speak, what color of skin you have, or what religion you practice, you can always find similarities and build connection”.
I am grateful for our host family Hasmik Ghalechyan and Adv Aplav Saxena for your dedication in meeting the needs of the communities you serve and for allowing me, Elisa De La Torre and Cathie Berrey to be part of your amazing projects.
Thank you to our interpreters and young local college coordinators, Priyanshi Agarwal, Shanaya and Pranjal for looking after us and taking good care of us as we navigate the slums of Jaipur.
To Laura Furtado for planning this trip for us with A Broader View Volunteers
To my fellow volunteers Cathie and Elisa, thanks for sharing this amazing experience with me. This is not easy work but it is fulfilling work.
This is a photograph from the 4th annual running the East of Ireland Marathons Staplestown Marathon, Half Marathon and 10KM road races which were held in the village of Staplestown, Donadea, Naas, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 23rd January 2016 at 09:00. The event is organised by East of Ireland Marathons with local support and input. The races all started and ended in the village of Staplestown which is about 2 miles from the entrance to Donadea Forest Park. All races were held on the same loop of approximately 10KM in distance where the marathon runners covered 4 loops plus a short out and back section, half marathoner covered 2 loops and some out and back and the 10KM runners simply completed the full loop. The loop is well known to local runners as it connects the village of Staplestown with the larger village of Properous, Co. Kildare.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF support conflict-affected children in Iraq through play
Baghdad, 16 December 2015 – UNICEF Iraq received a contribution from the LEGO Foundation that will help give around 50,000 children in Iraq a chance to play and learn. The organizations welcomed the contribution of 4,800 boxes containing LEGO play materials. The donation is part of the three-year global partnership between UNICEF and the LEGO Foundation signed in early 2015. Through the partnership, the two organizations promote quality early learning through play for children around the world. While play helps children address stress, it also performs a critical role in the development of the intellectual, emotional, social and creative skills needed to build the foundation for human development and lifelong learning.
Iraq has seen decades of conflict. Currently, nearly 3 million children have had their education disrupted, and nearly 1 million are internally displaced. Furthermore, over 100,000 Syrian children have taken refuge in Iraq.
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq (SRSG), Mr. Ján Kubiš, reaffirmed the United Nations’ commitment to children. “Many Iraqi children bear emotional scars from the violence around them, but it is those rendered homeless by conflict who suffer the heaviest consequences. Millions of children, in camps for displaced people and refugees as well as those in host communities have limited or no access to education or recreational activities. It is with their predicament in mind that UNAMI and UNICEF called on LEGO for assistance to extend children affected by the crisis in Iraq with a combination of study and play in the form of creative toys, which might be the first for many of them since they lost their homes and possessions. The donation from LEGO Foundation should be a reminder to Iraqi politicians of the responsibility they share for the future generations, who deserve to live a life of peace and normalcy.”
Generations of children in Iraq have grown up in the midst of conflict, and have witnessed unimaginable acts of extreme violence and have been displaced from their homes and communities. Some children have been displaced multiple times as conflict reaches their new homes. “The opportunity given by the LEGO Foundation should also be used to call for more support to humanitarian programmes, particularly child protection,” Kubiš added.
Representing UNAMI at the delivery ceremony in Baghdad, Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Iraq, Gyorgy Busztin appealed to the Iraqi politicians to think about the children of Iraq as they “are the hardest hit by violence and lack of stability. Their fate needs to be the responsibility of all decision makers. We want for them a happy future, away from violence, conflict and displacement in a country that provides equal rights to all its men, women and children. We want national reconciliation for Iraq that will give back to the children of Iraq what they were deprived of, play, learning and happiness, in other words a full childhood. The LEGO toys will teach them to build so that in the future they will be able to reconstruct their villages and towns ruined by terrorism. They will prove that building is superior to destruction” added DSRSG Busztin.
“The negative impact of this crisis on children cannot be over-emphasized,” said Peter Hawkins, UNICEF Representative in Iraq. “Continuing violence has cheated millions of children of their fundamental rights to safety, education and play. Many children have come into this world and grown up knowing only displacement and conflict. The donation from the LEGO Foundation is one positive step forward, allowing some of the most disadvantaged children to play and learn in a fun and safe environment and become the next generation to build a better future for Iraq.”
“Play is the most effective and inspiring way for children to acquire the skills needed to create new possibilities and meet the many challenges of the future. In the midst of violence and instability, playing and education can help to alleviate trauma for conflict-affected children,” said Mirjam Schöning, Global Head of Programmes and Partnerships at the LEGO Foundation. “Through play, children can address stress and develop physical, intellectual and social skills, as well as creativity. Together with UNICEF, we work to put a stake in the ground for children and their development through quality play-based learning.”
The LEGO play materials will be distributed to 538 schools, 46 community centres and 8 child-friendly spaces across Iraq, giving over 50,000 children access to learning activities. The LEGO Foundation and UNICEF will provide training to build the capacity of teachers, facilitators and community members who will then guide children through LEGO activities as part of the initiative.

Remembrance Sunday, 8 November 2015
In the United Kingdom, Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday in November, which is the Sunday nearest to 11 November, Armistice Day, the anniversary of the end of hostilities in the First World War at 11 a.m. on 11 November 1918. Remembrance Sunday is held to commemorate the contribution of British and Commonwealth military and civilian servicemen and women in the two World Wars and later conflicts.
Remembrance Sunday is marked by ceremonies at local war memorials in most cities, towns and villages, attended by civic dignitaries, ex-servicemen and -women, members of local armed forces regular and reserve units, military cadet forces and uniformed youth organisations. Two minutes’ silence is observed at 11 a.m. and wreaths of remembrance poppies are then laid on the memorials.
The United Kingdom national ceremony is held in London at the Cenotaph in Whitehall. Wreaths are laid by Queen Elizabeth II, principal members of the Royal Family normally including the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of York, the Princess Royal, the Earl of Wessex and the Duke of Kent, the Prime Minister, leaders of the other major political parties, the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, Commonwealth High Commissioners and representatives from the Royal Navy, Army and Royal Air Force, the Merchant Navy and Fishing Fleets and the civilian services, and veterans’ groups. Two minutes' silence is held at 11 a.m., before the laying of the wreaths. This silence is marked by the firing of a field gun on Horse Guards Parade to begin and end the silence, followed by Royal Marines buglers sounding Last Post.
The parade consists mainly of an extensive march past by veterans, with military bands playing music following the list of the Traditional Music of Remembrance.
Other members of the British Royal Family watch from the balcony of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
After the ceremony, a parade of veterans and other related groups, organised by the Royal British Legion, marches past the Cenotaph, each section of which lays a wreath as it passes. Only ticketed participants can take part in the march past.
From 1919 until the Second World War remembrance observance was always marked on 11 November itself. It was then moved to Remembrance Sunday, but since the 50th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in 1995, it has become usual to hold ceremonies on both Armistice Day and Remembrance Sunday.
Each year, the music at the National Ceremony of Remembrance remains the same, following a programme finalised in 1930:
Rule, Britannia! by Thomas Arne
Heart of Oak by William Boyce
The Minstrel Boy by Thomas Moore
Men of Harlech
The Skye Boat Song
Isle of Beauty by Thomas Haynes Bayly
David of the White Rock
Oft in the Stilly Night by John Stevenson
Flowers of the Forest
Nimrod from the Enigma Variations by Edward Elgar
Dido's lament by Henry Purcell
O Valiant Hearts by Charles Harris
Solemn Melody by Walford Davies
Last Post – a bugle call
Beethoven's Funeral March No. 1, by Johann Heinrich Walch
O God, Our Help in Ages Past – words by Isaac Watts, music by William Croft
Reveille – a bugle call
God Save The Queen
Other pieces of music are then played during the march past and wreath laying by veterans, starting with Trumpet Voluntary and followed by It's A Long Way To Tipperary, the marching song of the Connaught Rangers, a famous British Army Irish Regiment of long ago.
The following is complied from press reports on 8 November 2015:
"The nation paid silent respect to the country's war dead today in a Remembrance Sunday service. Leading the nation in remembrance, as ever, was the Queen, who first laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in 1945 and has done so every year since, except on the four occasions when she was overseas.
Dressed in her customary all-black ensemble with a clutch of scarlet poppies pinned against her left shoulder, she stepped forward following the end of the two-minute silence marked by the sounding of Last Post by 10 Royal Marine buglers.
The Queen laid her wreath at the foot of the Sir Edwin Lutyens Portland stone monument to the Glorious Dead, then stood with her head momentarily bowed.
She was joined by King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, who was invited to the Cenotaph for the first time to lay a wreath marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Netherlands by British troops.
Watched by his wife Queen Maxima, who stood next to the Duchess of Cambridge in the Royal Box, the King laid a wreath marked with the simple message, 'In remembrance of the British men and women who gave their lives for our future.'
Wreaths were then laid by members of the Royal Family, all wearing military uniform: Prince Philip; then Prince Andrew, Prince Harry and Prince William at the same time ; then Prince Edward, Princess Anne and the Duke of Kent at the same time.
Three members of the Royal Family laying wreaths at the same time was an innovation in 2015 designed to slightly reduce the amount of time of the ceremony and thereby reduce the time that the Queen had to be standing.
Prince Charles attended a remembrance service in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister then laid a wreath. The Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, appeared at the Cenotaph for the first time. He wore both a suit and a red poppy for the occasion.
His bow as he laid a wreath marked with the words 'let us resolve to create a world of peace' was imperceptible – and not enough for some critics. Yet unlike the 75th anniversary of the Battle of Battle service earlier this year, Mr Corbyn did join in with the singing of the national anthem.
Following the end of the official service at the Cenotaph, a mammoth column more than 10,000-strong (some 9,000 of whom were veterans) began marching along Whitehall, saluting the Cenotaph as they passed, Parliament Street, Great George Street, Horse Guards Road and back to Horse Guard Parade. The Duke of Cambridge took the salute from the column on Horse Guards Parade.
Time takes its inevitable toll on even the most stoic among us, and this year only a dozen World War Two veterans marched with the Spirit of Normandy Trust, a year after the Normandy Veterans' Association disbanded.
Within their ranks was 95-year-old former Sapper Don Sheppard of the Royal Engineers. Sheppard was of the eldest on parade and was pushed in his wheelchair by his 19-year-old grandson, Sam who, in between studying at Queen Mary University, volunteers with the Normandy veterans.
'It is because of my admiration for them,' he says. 'I see them as role models and just have the utmost respect for what they did.'
While some had blankets covering their legs against the grey November day, other veterans of more recent wars had only stumps to show for their service to this country during 13 long years of war in Afghanistan.
As well as that terrible toll of personal sacrifice, the collective losses – and triumphs - of some of the country’s most historic regiments were also honoured yesterday.
The Gurkha Brigade Association - marking 200 years of service in the British Army – marched to warm ripples of applause. The King’s Royal Hussars, represented yesterday by 126 veterans, this year also celebrate 300 years since the regiment was raised.
They were led by General Sir Richard Shirreff, former Deputy Supreme Allied Commander of Nato and Colonel of the regiment who himself was marching for the first time.
'We are joined by a golden thread to all those generations who have gone before us,” he said. “We are who we are, because of those that have gone before us.' "

We celebrate light in our pictures. Understanding how light interacts with the camera is paramount to the work we do. The temperature, intensity and source of light can wield different photography effect on the same subject or scene; add ISO, aperture and speed, the camera, the lens type, focal length and filters…the combination is varied and multi-layered and if you know how to use them all, you will come to appreciate that all lights are useful, even those surrounded by a lot of darkness.
We are guided by three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, our longing to capture in print, that which is beautiful, the constant search for the one picture, and constant barrage of new equipment and style of photography.

The Kilcock Ladies GAA Santa Dash Christmas 5km Race and Fun Run took place in Kilcock, Co. Kildare, Ireland at 13:00 on Sunday 16th December 2012. This was the first running of this event and overall it was a great success. There was tonnes of Christmas spirit and good cheer! There was also lots and lots of Christmas goodies for the runners afterwards in the GAA Club. Well done to Kilcock Ladies GAA on a superb event.
The race started at Connaught Street, near the Royal Canal, and took in the wellknown local walking route around Laragh (Sli Na Slainte). This route is familiar to many runners as a reverse of the Kilcock AC 5KM held annually every summer. The race was organised to help raise funds for the many ladies teams that the girls from Branganstown continue to field year after year. The Kilcock Ladies are a vital part of the local community and provide football for all age groups in the town. 2012 was a very special year for the Ladies section of Kilcock GAA club as they celebrated the 20th year since their foundation back in 1992.
Overall, over 200 people took part in the run and race. There were many Santas making their way in their red suits, beards, and runners around the 5KM route.
This is our set of photographs from the finish of the race.

This five storey postmodern infill building near Dundas and Indian Grove is a decent contribution to the architectural diversity of the Dundas strip in the Junction. It's a simple facade, yet elegant with subtle historical references.
Dundas in the Junction has few postmodern buildings, though there's a similar building most likely built by the same developer nearby with a red facade.
Over 1,300 personnel from all three armed services, veterans and cadets made the 2019 National Armed Forces Day parade in Salisbury the largest one to date. Originally conceived as Veterans Day, the name of the event was changed in 2009 to National Armed Forces Day to celebrate the contributions of both past and present members of the British Armed Forces. Taking place on the last Saturday of June, the parade is one aspect of a whole weekend where the national lead event is hosted by a different town or city each year around the UK.
The national event was held from 28 to 30 June 2019 in Salisbury and hosted by Wiltshire Council and its council leader Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE.
Her Royal Highness Princess Anne reviewed the parade on 29 June 2019 of more than 1,300 service personnel, cadets and veterans and took the salute on the dais in front of the Guildhall, accompanied by the Mayor of the City of Salisbury John Walsh, as the procession went by. The parade was preceded by a fly past by the Red Arrows at 10 am. The parade was led by a detachment from the Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment, followed by bands and marching contingents from the three armed services, veterans and cadets and finished with the British Army units which hold the Freedom of the City of Salisbury.
The order of the procession was as follows:
Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment
Band of HM Royal Marines Portsmouth
Royal Navy drawn from ships across the Fleet
Corps of Royal Marines
King’s Royal Hussars
Royal Tank Regiment
Coyote Tactical Support Vehicle
22 Engineer Regiment, Corps of Royal Engineers

Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster David Lidington, Defence Secretary Penny Mordaunt, senior military officers and civic dignitaries also watched the parade.
Defence Secretary, Penny Mordaunt said: “On Armed Forces Day we celebrate the exceptional contribution service personnel, regular or reservist, veterans and their families make to our security and prosperity. The Armed Forces protect us and defend us around the world and serve communities throughout our country. With more than 300 events taking place across the UK, it’s incredible to see people coming together to show their support for the Armed Forces.”
The national event provided an opportunity to welcome the troops returning from Germany to Wiltshire, as one-quarter of the British regular army will be based in the county by 2020.
The Armed Forces and Salisbury have a close and historic relationship and the national event gave the people of Salisbury the chance to thank the Armed Forces for their tireless support towards the city’s recovery following the Novichok poison attacks in 2018.
Baroness Scott of Bybrook OBE, leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Wiltshire is the beating heart of the Armed Forces and we are extremely proud of our long association with the military. The Armed Forces Day National Event is a unique opportunity to recognise and pay tribute to the specialist military teams, the emergency services and the other organisations that managed the incident and the subsequent clean-up that has helped south Wiltshire to return to normal.”

Jordan's contribution to save the earth. Jordan and I went to this festival and she had a blast. She made this bird feeder for grandma & grandpa's trees from recycled bottles. All week long at school she learned about reduce, reuse, and recycle. So needless to say, our recycling efforts at home have stepped up a notch. She wants to reuse everything now because she says she wants to save the polar bears and the "earff".

This is a photograph from the annual Rathcoffey GAA 10KM and 7.5KM Road Race, Fun Run, and Walk which was held in Rathcoffey, Co. Kildare, Ireland on Saturday 8th February 2014 at 11:00. This race event is in conjunction with Console Ireland, the National Suicide Charity (www.console.ie/). About 300 people took part in the two events. Despite the recent very stormy wet weather experienced in Ireland the weather conditions for the race were reasonably good. There was mild temperatures but at various points in the race route participants had to deal with a very strong head-wind. Nonetheless the race was enjoyed by everyone involved. The race begins at Rathcoffey GAA and goes out on to the road taking a right turn into Rathcoffey village itself. The race then follows the R408 towards Maynooth. The route heads for Ladychapel before turning towards Smithstown (goo.gl/maps/W5Kzf) and Johninstown rejoining the village at (goo.gl/maps/l7oEP) and returning to the GAA Clubhouse. The final 2KM of both races sees the participants return to the GAA club on the same 2KM as the start of the races. Rathcoffey is a small rural village which is easily accessible from it's larger Kildare town neighbours of Clane, Kilcock, and Maynooth. Rathcoffey GAA Club provided excellent facilities for the Race Headquarters and Start/Finish area which can be viewed on Google Streetview [goo.gl/maps/MtTpg]. The race also benefited from great support from athletes from the local GAA clubs in North Kildare.
Congratulations to all in the Rathcoffey GAA club and the local community. This is a very well organised event with every detail attended to for race participants. There are refreshments, showers, and changing areas provided inside the main hall. The route is a flat fast rural country roads route and the event is gaining popularity with every passing year. Well done to all.
We have a large set of photographs from today's event including both the start and the finish. The full set is available on Flickr at www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157640651922944/

We take these photographs as a hobby and as a contribution to the running community in Ireland. Our only "cost" is our request that if you are using these images: (1) on social media sites such as Facebook, Tumblr, Pinterest, Twitter,LinkedIn, Google+, etc or (2) other websites, blogs, web multimedia, commercial/promotional material that you must provide a link back to our Flickr page to attribute us.

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!

Two Grebes, J7400 and J7385, were specially modified in 1926 for air-launching experiments in connection with the Airship Development Programme and were carried under the British rigid airship R-33. They were slung from its keel by quick release attachments on the upper wings and were braced by struts from the airship's structure to stabilize them and prevent oscillation. The Jaguar engines were started by means of a Bristol gas starter carried inside the R-33 and connected to the engines by flexible piping.
On 21 October, 1926, after an ascent from Pulham in Norfolk, one Grebe was released at about 2,500 ft (762 m) and, after diving for about 100 ft (30 m), it leveled out and flew for several minutes before landing back at Pulham. The second aircraft was also successfully released from a slightly higher altitude after some difficulty in starting the engine and made a safe landing at Cardington. Both aircraft were flown by pilots from the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough, Flying Officers R. L. Ragg and C. Mackenzie-Richards.
J7400, shown here attached to airship R-33, was later converted to a two-seater.
