Cash-for-work schemes are being operated by a number of NGOs in Haiti, as means of providing limited amounts of paid work for vulnerable people, to help provide them with some income. There was high unemployment in Haiti even before the earthquake, a situation that has now been exacerbated. Cash-for-work schemes are mainly paying people for helping to demolish destroyed buildings and clear rubble, so that reconstruction can take place.

Yursi, age 20, tends to cocoa seedlings at the Forsaka nursery in Jalin Village, Jentho, Aceh.
The Forsaka Nursery is a new pilot initiative set up by Fauna and Flora International (FFI) which will benefit over 300 families, in 6 villages in the area. The nursery is growing seedlings for cocoa plants, Mahoni trees (used for timber) and other trees in order to provide free seedlings to local farmers to enable them to diversify their crops. The area is one of the worst hit by illegal logging and farmers currently survive by growing groundnut or rice, a subsistence existence.
The project employs 40 men from the local community who work at the nursery and some of the 300 farmers are already in discussions on how to set up a co-operative to sell their produce once they have planted their new crops.
The project also educates the farmers on best practices, use of organic manure and fertilisers and provides them with knowledge on how to preserve the environment.
The nursery is part of the Aceh Forest and Environment Project, a World Bank Multi Donor Fund program which is supported by UKaid from the Department for International Development.
The project aims to protect the Leuser and Ulu Masen forest ecosystems form illegal logging. The 3.3 million hectare area in the northern part of Aceh province, is the largest contiguous forested area in South East Asia. It is seen as a rich provider of environmental and economic benefits for the 2 million people living in Aceh.

A Level Arachnids, Reptiles and Insects project. Paper modelling to develop corset shape and structure. Further development of copper mesh yoke.
Sun shines through the white scaffolding-covers on a building that is being renovated.
On walks in this area, one is constantly disconcerted by the number of houses in a state of flux. Elegant, historic houses are dwarfed by their neighbour's unsightly building works, and the peace disturbed by the noise and bustle of workmen going about their trades.

These structures seem to be abandoned development on Bribie island as you enter Pacific harbour. Absolutely fascinating. The white on these 'structures is actually styrofoam type material, perhaps used for insulation in the process of the building of them. It was not easy to get these as I had to take photos through a fence that runs around it.
Greenpeace activists walked a 15 foot monster to the White House, to call on President Biden to support a Global Plastics Treaty. There is a once in a lifetime opportunity for the United Nations to begin negotiating a Global Plastics Treaty. A decision will be made in February as to whether to start the process. To date the US has opposed the treaty, but Biden’s team is reevaluating its position. Plastics is on the agenda at the G7 in June and it is crucial that the Administration comes out of the gates supporting the development of a strong Global Plastics Treaty.

WALT DISNEY STUDIO
The Fox and the Hound (1981)
original production animation drawing
red, blue and black pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 4.75" x 5.25"
This expressive portrait rough animation drawing of the young Tod, one of the film's title characters, was created by a Disney animator in development of a scene in the animated feature. As she musically instructs the inexperienced fox during her "Lack of Education" song, Big Mama reaches down to brush his nose with her wing, singing "keep your nose to the wind and you'll keep your skin."
This is an animator’s extreme drawing with two grids drawn at right. The animator wrote the circled number "7" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. The studio's stamp denoting production, sequence and scene numbers is at lower left.
