Sustainable Development Impact Meetings, New York, USA 19 - 23 September
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) held an event under the theme 'Sports together for a united country' at the Juba Basketball stadium on 17th April 2016.
UNESCO and UNMISS worked closely with the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports, the National Olympic Committee, and the Maale Foundation for Heritage Development, to organize this event as a celebration of the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace.
Sport provides an unparalleled opportunity for people to meet, compete and build bonds.
UNESCO, as the United Nation’s lead agency for Physical Education and Sport (PES), promotes sport as a vital medium for peace and development. UNESCO recognizes the practice of sport as an instrument for promoting peace, a powerful vehicle for social integration, economic development, gender equality and youth empowerment, with benefits that are felt far beyond the stadiums. Indeed, the values acquired in and through sport such as fair play and a team spirit, are invaluable to the whole of society since, sports disregards geographical border, ethnic differences and social classes.
Since 2013 the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace has honoured sport's role as a vehicle for social inclusion and youth development. This year, UNESCO South Sudan and its partners marked the day by bringing together women’s volleyball teams from Juba town, UNMISS, and the UN Protection of Civilians sites for a friendly tournament at the Juba Basketball Stadium.
The sport matches were accompanied by displays of martial arts, children's singing, traditional cultural dances reflecting South Sudan’s cultural diversity as well as peace messages from Mr. Salah Khaled, UNESCO Country Representative and Head of Office, South Sudan, Mr. Eugene Owusu, UNMISS Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, and the South Sudan National Olympic Committee.
In his message for the International Day of Sport for Development and Peace, the United Nations Secretary-General, Mr. Ban Ki-moon, described sports as 'a unique and powerful tool for promoting dignity and the equal and inalienable rights of every member of the human family'.

U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Rural Development RD Under Secretary Xochitl Torres Small departs from Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District facility, where it was announced that the USDA is investing $102 million to expand access to housing and water infrastructure for socially disadvantaged rural people who live and work in 45 states and American Samoa, during a visit to Siesta Shores and Falcon Lake in Zapata Co., TX, on Dec 16, 2022. The 263 projects in which USDA invests will create economic opportunities and improve the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in rural America.
The investments are part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to ensure that people living in rural America have equitable access to the infrastructure and economic opportunities they deserve.
“USDA invests in rural America because we know a strong community is rooted in its people,” Torres Small said. “Thanks to the leadership of President Biden, Vice President Harris, and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, USDA can help invest in opportunity and prosperity for all people, regardless of background or financial status, who make up the character and personality of our great country’s rural lands.”
The Siesta Shores Water Control and Improvement District in Zapata County, Texas, receives a $1 million Emergency Community Water Assistance Grant to purchase a filter upgrade along with new raw water pumps and electrical wiring. It also will install six-inch raw water piping and fittings to reach the deeper parts of the community’s water source, Falcon Lake.
These investments are in addition to the recent expansion of the Rural Partners Network (RPN), which is central to President Biden’s commitment to ensure all rural people can benefit from federal resources. Led by USDA with support from more than 20 federal agencies and commissions, RPN is part of an all-of-government strategy to champion rural people and places, including Native American communities.
These programs are Water and Waste Disposal Grants to Alleviate Health Risks on Tribal Lands and Colonias, Appalachian Regional Commission Grants, Delta Health Care Grants, Socially Disadvantaged Groups Grants, Housing Preservation Grants, Rural Community Development Initiative Grants, Tribal College Initiative Grants, Emergency Community Water Assistance Grants, Rural and Native Alaskan Village Grants, Water and Waste Disposal Loans and Grants and Community Facilities Disaster Grant Program.

MAB Youth is an organisation that facilitate and promote intellectual engagement and discussion on topics relating to theological practice and how best to implement such practises best into contemporary lifestyles.
With a whole new generation of Muslims living in an even wider geographic expanse, the need to discuss the place of Islam in these new environments and put into context the morals and ethics of the principles outlined in the Qur'an has become all the more imperative.
As such, the design to advertise these seminars and debates needed to be equally engaging and intelligent. Classical subjects presented in a contemporary context - befitting the evolution of this faith based community - the core message is the same - but the presentation and manifestation may appear different.
Intellectual and engaging debates - as I hope these poster designs reflect.
Concept topic:
Tajweed (pronunciation of classical Arabic as featured in the Qur'an)

The demolishon and rebuilding and simaltaneous construction of the Mas'aa Corridors of the Holy Mosque in Makkah.
The ground and first floors of the current Mas'aa are sealed, the windows, doorways and exits are concreted. If I had seen what was going on on the outside, I would have had second thoughts about going inside this section of the Holy Mosque. I saw the massive construction work upon leaving the Holy Mosque.
Some buildings. Some already developed. Some being developed.
Once more the location is Wentworth Point.
The reflection appears to be a vague description, but no less real than the real thing.
