A father who scavenges for a living helps his daughter read a children's book in this photo taken in December 24, 2006 in a village called Lumbangan in Zamboanga City in the southern Philippines. The village is where the government garbage dump is located. Many children abandon schooling to help their parents scavenge for food and junk in Zamboanga City. The poor children - for the first time in their life - is now able to own a book donated by The Asia Foundation and browse the colorful pages themselves - and perhaps dream that one day they can go back to school and continue their studies.

Do you know where water comes from? Some of you may answer, it comes from the store in plastic bottles. Now, some of you may answer, it comes from your city or town. Even others of you may answer, it comes from the water faucet. If you lived in rural Congo, you would know it comes from that creek or spring located miles away from the village.
Most of our water ultimately comes from under the ground. Probably, very few of you or none of the Congolese would realize that water comes from under the ground. But the process to get water from the ground requires machinery and know-how. In Congo, those are two items in very short supply. That's the reason why most Congolese get their water from a creek or spring.
Over the next several years, I plan to introduce the water well drilling process in Congo. I will have to import the machinery and know-how.

Knowledge is one powerful aspect of the three great beliefs, to pursue the unknown to study and bring light to a lost civilization with new found facts and truth is knowledge. To know is to guard against prejudice and all forms of ignorance! This way we aren't too quick to judge or make random assumptions. A greater understanding creates a clearer picture of what we are dealing with, it helps us to advance with better technology, to be more conservative with our world and other people! Without knowledge we would be a barbaric empire today!

This is a detail shot of the sculpture House of Knowledge by the artist Jaume Plensa.
I saw this fantastic object at the No Limits exhibition at Chatsworth House in the fall of 2008 and was completely bowled over by it. (There are lots more piccies of this my photostream).
Some follow up research on the internet indicated that the artist was also involved in the Channel 4 Big Art Project and a large public work entitled Dream was to be shortly installed on the reclaimed and landscaped spoil heap from a former coal mine in Sutton Manor on the outskirts of St Helens.
This is a 5 minute drive from my house and something that I've been eagerly watching out for as I pass this site almost everyday!!
And it's being installed right now! And it is stunning!
Watch this space for piccies
