Indigenous comodronas (midwives) practice infant resuscitation on dolls using new infant breathing masks. Birth asphyxiation is one of the primary causes of neonatal death in Guatemala, accounting for about 28% of infant mortality. These rates increase in indigenous, rural communities where births often occur in the home and access to adequate medical training and equipment is limited at best. Yet many of these deaths are preventable. Workshops like the Helping Babies Breathe training at Mayan Families help provide the knowledge, practice, and equipment to traditional midwives to prevent these deaths. Thanks to the generosity and support from Linda Cotton and Cindy Higgins, each of these 20 comodronas will return to her practice with the necessary equipment to revive infants after birth!
Village Karli, Yavatmal Block, Dist. Yavatmal, Maharashtra, INDIA.
Nanda Namdev Bhaga mother of Jyotsna Phulmali at her residence in Karli village, Yavatmal. A victim of child marriage herself 14 years ago, village volunteer Jyotsna Phulmali is today the face of the fight against the practice in these parts of Yavatmal block. The 29-year-old had left her alcoholic and abusive husband when their daughter was still an infant. In 2011, she underwent training conducted by UNICEF on child protection and on working with adolescent girls to equip them with life skills. She has single-handedly stopped as many as five cases of child marriage in her village of Karli since January 2013. Her most recent intervention involved none other than the Sarpanch of the village. Putting herself at great personal risk, Jyotsna boldly went to the police and filed an FIR. Yuva Vedh Manch, an NGO backed by UNICEF came out in her support. Despite JyotsnaÕs efforts, the marriage still took place. To make matters, worse goons were sent to manhandle her parents and threaten her teenage daughter. 11 suspects including the Sarpanch were arrested on charges of forging false documents, child marriage and assault. This was the first instance of arrests in a child marriage case in the district. All 11 were immediately released on bail. UNICEF organises training workshops for village volunteers in all blocks in the three districts of Jalna, Wardha and Yavatmal on a regular basis. These workshops are residential and usually span three to five days. The trainers comprise members of UNICEFÕs field team in each block, which includes members of local NGOs that UNICEF has tied up with. The trainers teach the volunteers about every aspect of child protection, introducing them to structures like the state government, the district council, the Village Child Protection Committee, the School Management Committee, Juvenile Justice Board and Child Welfare Committee among others..

Thirteen year old B. Majili talks about her experience of Life Skills Education under the Integrated Child Protection Scheme to help understands the evils of child labour and early marriage at her school in village Koothapadi, Block Pennagaram, Dharmapuri district in Tamil Nadu. India has the highest number of working children in the world - an estimated 29 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 go to work. Child labour is illegal in India for children under 14 years of age. Girls often work in informal sectors such as domestic work or as paid house helps, which are not counted in official statistics. Most of these children belong to the poorest, most marginalized communities - including Scheduled Castes and Tribes. Children who fall through the gaps and do not have a quality education or who drop out of school - have a higher susceptibility to violence, abuse and exploitation - including a higher risk of entering the child labour workforce, and have a higher risk of being married off as children. 53% of adolescents drop out of school before they are 15 years old. 43% of adolescent girls are married before they are 18 years old. Being outside of the school system means that children are at prime risk of abuse, vulnerability and violence, and particularly at risk of child marriage, Child marriage is illegal in India. Both boys and girls suffer greatly from the physical, intellectual, psychological and emotional impact of marriage; it cuts short their education as well as their opportunity to make informed decisions about their own future. 46% of girls age 18-29 married before 18, and 23% of boys aged 21-29 married before 21. National Child Labour Protection teachers (NCPL) who run Ôbridging schoolsÕ for child labourers. UNICEF working closely with the state government has jointly run this programme since 2009.

Work is still very busy - but hey my neighbor had an extra monitor so no more ghetto workspace for me.
I find myself wondering if I should save my paper recycling in case we need to burn it, for you know heat or cooking or signal fires, lol.
I also wonder what would happen if the internet and cell towers went down. Our whole infrastructure started to crumble. Seriously?! Anyone ever read One Second After?
We, Shane & I, have been on a healthy eating kick since January 1 and I am down 24.6 lbs (yayaya me). Tonight we decided to treat ourselves to mini blizzards while you know, they are still available. It was delicious and I'm not going to feel bad about it.
Lifeskills 101 - eggs for breakfast
Grateful for seeing a bald eagle in the trees on my road. Seeing one makes me think my Dad is checking in on me. I'm also grateful that despite huge economic downturn and oil&gas woes I have a job.
Everyday I get more emails (I'm sure all our inboxes are overflowing) about stores closing temporarily. It is scary, and makes me think of Sandra Bullock in Birdbox. How will I survive and push through? Take care of those I love if things get that desperate? Which I am sure they won't, but I like to think that IF they did we would be okay. We'd combine forces with friends, come together and survive this (I hope we have enough toilet paper). Maybe a bit extreme? But hey I'm sure I'm not the only one with these random thoughts. Anyone want to join forces? Maybe we should get our walkies on the same channels......
*[to the children] Malorie: Listen to me. I’m only going to say this once. We are going on the trip now. It’s going to be rough. It’s going to feel like it’s going on for a long time, so it’s going to be hard to stay alert. It’s going to be even harder to be quiet, but you have to do both. You have to do every single thing I say or we will not make it. Understand? -Bird Box

Honourable Mention
Danny Lye and Bill Quinn (Cree) were near Oppenheimer Park when this photo was taken. The two have known one another for eight years. “I’m only chilling around the good guys,” says Danny about their friendship. Bill, a native residential school survivor, does collage work focused on the First Nations experience. “Part of my hope through my artwork is to try to get people to understand and to develop some concern to deal with the people that are suffering,” he says. Bill is also passionate about preserving aboriginal languages. “I speak Cree just the way I’m talking to you in English. And there’s probably not many of us left,” he says. “We say tanisi [pronounced “dansay”]. It means ‘hi’.”
Photographer: Debra Leo volunteers at LifeSkills, an education centre near Oppenheimer Park. She recognizes Danny from the neighbourhood. “When I walk by, I give him a hug,” she says. In addition to volunteering at LifeSkills serving breakfast, Debra is an active volunteer at the Downtown Eastside Women’s Centre. While she’s a veteran of the Downtown Eastside community, this is Debra’s first time participating in the Hope in Shadows photography contest, where she produced two winning photos. Her other winning photograph is a shot of her friends in the Hastings Community Folk Garden.

Young men in Spanish Town, Jamaica take part in social group activities such as swimming lessons as part of the “Male Awareness Now” programme run by Christian Aid partner Children First.
In poor, volatile, violent communities like Spanish Town in Jamaica it is mostly poorly educated young men with few employment prospects who turn to crime and gang warfare.
By working with young men aged between 10 and 24, the Male Awareness Now programme is helping to break this cycle by changing attitudes and showing them that there are alternatives to violence. Participants in the programme learn about conflict resolution, sexual health and gender as well as practical vocational skills like barbering or IT.

On Monday, November 25th, Governor Jack Markell, and Lt. Governor Matt Denn joined officials from the Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (DSCYF/The Children’s Dept.) to announce the names of 12 organizations that have been selected to receive nearly $2.1 million dollars in after school and summer prevention program funds. The announcement was held at the Clarence Fraim Boys and Girls Club in Wilmington. The Boys and Girls Clubs of Delaware is one of the funding recipients.
The initiative to support positive prevention activities for youth was part of Governor Jack Markell’s FY 14 Budget proposal. The General Assembly supported his budget request with $2.2 million as part of DSCYF’s budget for after school programs this session. This is the second round of funding allocated under the budget initiative. In September, a small portion of the budget was distributed to 13 organizations in the form of mini grants.
Tonia Walker, associate director of athletics at Winston-Salem State University, has been named the athletic director for the program effective immediately.
"Tonia has done an outstanding job in every role she has been given within the WSSU athletics program and has a wealth of knowledge of intercollegiate athletics beyond our campus," said Chancellor Donald J. Reaves. "Having Tonia as the athletic director brings strong leadership to the program and provides stability for our players, coaches and staff.

As associate director of athletics, Walker was responsible for the internal operations of the department and was instrumental in fundraising efforts, the implementation of CHAMPS/Lifeskills programming, the Rams leadership Academy and other initiatives that supported the development of the student athletes and the athletics staff.
Walker has served on numerous committees both nationally and for the university, including serving in various positions with the CIAA and serving on the NCAA Division II Membership Committee. She is currently a member of the National Association of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators (NACWAA) and of the Minority Opportunities Association, as well as the Black College Coaches and Administrators Association.
Named the CIAA Senior Woman Administrator for 2003-2004 and 2005-2006, Walker was one of eight participants from throughout the country selected for the NCAA Fellows Leadership Development Program. She is a graduate of the NACWAA HERS Institute and Executive Institute and was the 2008 recipient of the NACWAA Nell Jackson Award given annually to an athletic administrator who is a strong leader and an advocate for gender equity.
Walker earned a B.A. degree with honors in speech and language disorders from Hampton University and her M.S. degree in sports management from old Dominion University. While at Hampton, Walker was a two-sport athlete, playing both basketball and softball.
Public/Private Partnerships aren’t new in many parts of the public sector. But in education, they tend to be incredibly rare. That’s why Brian Lee, the Director of Student Services at St. George’s School and Tamara Maxim, a teacher in Windermere’s Lifeskills program, are particularly excited about a very special program they’ve developed together. This program connects St. George’s students with developmentally challenged students from Windermere’s Life Skills classes.
