Our mission today is not different from other missions we have been carrying out since May 2015 everywhere in Yemen. Today we have met Jewish community leader in Yemen after carrying out our aid delivery to 100 people who are sick with intellectual disability.
Mona Relief delivered 100 hygiene kits funded by IOM to them as you can see in the pictures their situation was poor and they need much more things.
How Mona Relief know about the situation of Jewish Community members in Sana'a for first time.
The donations began in 2016 when a journalist alerted Mona Relief founder and CEO Fatik al-Rodaini about the poor conditions in which the Jewish community was living.
Mona Relief crew visited the families December 22, 2016, and met with their leader, Yehia Yousef. Several days later Rodaini reached out to the community with food packages, blankets and hygiene kits funded by the NGO’s online fund-raising campaign.
“That was the beginning of our initiative to the Jewish minority in Sanaa,” Rodaini told The Jerusalem Post. “I promised to help them monthly with food aid and medicine to Jewish members who are sick with chronic diseases. However, I couldn’t fulfill my commitments toward them due to the lack of resources. But I tried to help them annually.”
Rodaini has managed more than annual aid; the last two times, however, were made possible with the aid of anonymous Kuwaiti donors.
Asked about the unusual circumstances of Kuwaitis donating to Jews, Rodaini said that not only had the donors accepted to help the cause when he had asked, they subsequently offered unsolicited donations to the community.
“We are talking about humanity and not about their religion,” said Rodaini, adding that the NGO delivers supplies to 86 Jews in Yemen, making up some 20 families.
My beautiful daughter who's missing lots of school due to an uncontrolled seizure disorder. In between bouts we're getting some cute photos.
Me da una pena enorme, pero la verdad es que creo que debe estar con alguna mami que la quiera más que yo ^___^
Está en perfectas condiciones, viene con su stand, la ropa de la fotito y tiene ambas cajas!
Por cualquier cosa, mandar un PM!
Things that will get me on my hands and knees after working all day...
I mean really...they're just too darn cute.
I think I need a macro lens. :D
I know this needs something else but for right now I'm happy with it. I'm sure I'll tinker later! (Thanks, Alice, for the rhinestones!) This will become part of a series of photos so the journalling is minimal. Deciding on the pictures to use was a natural because guess what the Bride's favourite colour is? You guessed it - purple!

This month is water conservation month in one of Florida's very populated counties, so I thought it would be nice to see how we might apply the United Nation’s concept of working with Nature to solve a problem on the planet. This latest article looks at what is currently done to conserve and manage water and what could be done using Nature’s method to manage and conserve this vital resource.

The concept of Broadview – Senior Living at Purchase College started taking shape in 2002. It serves the needs of a growing senior population in the greater Westchester County area. It is a one-of-a-kind senior living in Westchester, NY, with a unique “Learning Commons,” a space where residents and students can learn from each other over coffee. The initial phase of the proposed community will include 220 independent living apartments and villas for seniors ages 62 and older. Also, it will have enhanced assisted living apartments, and memory care suites will be available on-site. The facility will offer a full range of amenities on campus, including dining venues, a fitness center, a heated indoor pool, a salon, a library, and a movie theater. Also, it will have walking paths, gardens, an outdoor dining area, and amphitheater – the perfect spot to enjoy a performance on a summer’s evening. Details about Broadview Senior Living can be viewed at www.broadviewseniorliving.org/.

Pennsylvania Senators, state Representatives, and others gathered for a press event to support and advocate for Governor Shapiro’s proposal to fund period products in public schools through this year’s budget. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. students cannot afford period products, threatening their ability to receive the education they deserve. Lawmakers and other Pennsylvania leaders and advocates joined in support of the proposal and highlighted why the legislature needs to include this proposal in the final budget.
In his second budget address as Governor, Governor Josh Shapiro took the time to propose a $3 million investment into public schools to provide period products at no cost to students. A big supporter of this proposal has been Pennsylvania’s First Lady, who stood in support at the press conference.
“Today, I was proud to stand with leaders from across our Commonwealth to bring attention to critical issues facing young women and girls in Pennsylvania,” said First Lady Lori Shapiro. “I've spent time listening to young women and girls in Pennsylvania who have been forced to miss school or other opportunities due to not having the menstrual products they need. We need to support and empower those girls — and that's why Josh included $3 million in this year's budget proposal to provide pads and tampons in schools at no cost to our students.”
“This $3 million investment – a fraction of a percentage of our total budget – is all it will take to provide period products in public school restrooms and make sure students can remain safe, healthy, and focused in class. I’m grateful to have a Governor who knows ‘period’ is not a bad word, and a First Lady who has brought menstrual equity to the forefront in Pennsylvania,” said Senator Maria Collett (D-12). “Together, we can get this program across the finish line and continue to advocate for the 2 in 5 menstruators who struggle to afford period products.”
As of April 18, 2024, 27 states and Washington D.C. have passed legislation to help students who menstruate have free access to period products while in school. Pennsylvania could be the next state to solve this problem for students.
"Every Pennsylvanian deserves access to the hygiene products they need to live healthy, rewarding lives. Governor Shapiro's proposal to provide period products free to every public school in Pennsylvania is uncontroversial and will have a significant impact on the lives of many of our students,” said Senator Judy Schwank (D-11). “We have garnered strong support for this proposal from a diverse coalition, and I'm confident we will secure this crucial investment in this year's budget."
Funding period products in schools is just the beginning when it comes to tackling menstrual equity in Pennsylvania. Senators Cappelletti and Collett have introduced Senate Bill 906, known as The Pennsylvania Menstrual Equity Act, a bill that will require Pennsylvania’s public agencies serving those who are young, low-income, homeless, or incarcerated to make these products available at no cost.
“As children and adolescences, it can be extraordinarily difficult to ask for help in meeting our needs – especially ones as stigmatized as menstrual hygiene. So, imagine the added challenge that many students face when their parents can’t afford the period products they need. Or if a student has a difficult relationship with their parent or guardian and doesn’t feel comfortable or safe when asking for the products they need,” said Senator Amanda Cappelletti (D-17). “We have the power to eliminate these challenges for our students here in Pennsylvania and ease the stress that threatens their ability to get their education to the fullest extent.”
Leaders and representatives of the Shapiro Administration were in attendance, including many state agency leaders. Pennsylvania Department of Human Services Secretary Dr. Valerie Arkoosh, Pennsylvania Department of Health Dr. And Department of Education Executive Deputy Secretary Angela Fitterer all attended and shared their support. “Thank you to First Lady Shapiro and thank you Governor Shapiro for having the courage to put these dollars into your budget,” said Secretary Arkoosh. “Here we are talking about this with the potential opportunity in the budget to correct something that’s been in need of correction, frankly, for many decades.”
Many speakers detailed the lengths at which students who do not have access to the products they need must go to when they have their periods, whether it be using socks, t-shirts, or other unsanitary materials. Dr. Bogen, Acting Secretary of Pennsylvania’s Department of Health, mentioned using these unsanitary solutions puts people at risk of contracting a host of health issues that could affect a student's health right away or in the future.
In today’s meeting of the House Education Committee, the committee passed House Bill 850, which would require our Department of Human Services to apply to the federal government if a waiver is made available to states to allow those receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) to use the two programs for menstrual hygiene products. Currently, these programs do not allow for the purchase of menstrual hygiene products, despite being a necessity. A related bill, House Bill 851, would create a grant program to provide eligible public-school entities with funding to acquire and distribute menstrual hygiene products at no expense to students. That bill has yet to move in committee.
Representative Darisha Parker (D-198), the prime sponsor on House Bill 851, spoke at the news conference, sharing, “When you talk about this lane of work, it is hard. It is very embarrassing that a woman like me, today, will be walking with a box of tampons to tell the Senate to pass House Bill 851.”
Home sweet home for the past 24 years. Just me. No one else lives here; hence, the bedrooms turned into office/music rooms. All the junk on the walls. I look at this place as an elaborate Ohio State college student apartment!
found this 2 month old boxer puppy during my morning walk with my dog. it was dumped by the previous "owner(s)", apparently they felt bad and left him his water bowl. how nice of them. I took him to my vet as he looked in very sad shape, and they confirmed he has parvo (probably the reason he was dumped). he will stay at the vet clinic for a while as he deserves a chance, if he pulls through I'll need to find him a home. looks like my tax rebate will be spend in America, on American made goods & services :-)
