As a gesture of appreciation Pervaiz Lodhie President and founder LEDtronics Inc. offered a special gift of a Solar Powered LED Solar Light to the 316 student and 7 program officers.
Funding for the solar lights was provided by one of gentleman from USA. His name is not mentioned here on his advice.
First distribution ceremony was held on Thursday October 12, 2017 in Shaleemabad, Achaar Khaskeli & Shanti Nagar ALCs located in Tando Allahyar districts.
Lt. Gen (Retd.) Syed Perwaiz Shahid a renowned educationist was chief guest for the event.
Ms. Lillian Charles Program Manager PEP and other team members from PEP were present in the event.
During the ceremony 72 female students received solar lanterns. PEP will organize another event in Hyderabad for the distribution of remaining solar lights in November 2017.
Hope you are well , I am fine too. We are thankful for all your support through lights that you have provided to Women who are part of Adult literacy classes. As I have received a call from Mr Shahid i am sharing the following information with you.
Women Empowerment groups were started in 2013 in all the PEP schools. The ideas was to provide awareness to women regarding their rights, responsibilities, savings, and issues such as early marriage. These women were provided training on building low cost washroom and they were also provided training on how to save their families during severe floods. At present PEP has 67 groups in total. Each group has a group of 10 females.
In 2016 , on the request of women, adult literacy course is introduced to the women. Project aimed at 5 centres in 2016 but 27 centre were started in 2016. they women were provide free books and no fee was charged from them. A mobilizer from the same village taught these classes.. They course is designed for one year as it is a weekly class.
In 2017 , PEP introduced a centre where women can learn from android tablets. PEP has designed three grade applications in Sindhi on tablets which are useful for these women. They can use those applications and hear sounds and can read the sentences and stories.
Now women are able to read and write sentences. Instead of thumb print they can write their names. They developed their confidence and able to perform theater on sensitive issues. Some of the theatre performances are uploaded on PEP website.
PEP is reaching out to the marginalized communities with a hope of educating them and making them effective citizen of our country.
PEP requested you to distribute these light as a token of thanks and as a resource for them so they can use it in the night too. They are thankful for all the encouragement that you have provided to them.
Please feel free to ask further information.

While I'm not a fan of hotels with women names I like them better than those containing traditional words - Park, City, Square and likes.
This were one of few shots from Rollei Prego 30 with film I unloaded from Minox 35 midroll after I discovered my repair attempt isn't too successful and shutter isn't closing (but I still got some pictures before problem returned). My Prego 30 overexposes - I learned this from previous rolls so I modified DX code of Paradies 100 (Kodak Gold?) film to ISO200 and think this is the way to use it.
so i finally got my first roll if film back from jasmine & my little frolic, and oh. my. goodness. it's quite possible that i love, love, love almost every single image, and i still have another roll that i have yet to see! i can't believe how gorgeous almost every image is, and that is a big deal to me, seeing as i went from possibly a 20-25% of images i love per roll, to a 75% of images i love per roll.
there is just something about film that feels way more tangible than digital. each image feels more precious. & the medium certainly loves jasmine's gorgeous face. ;)
(not to mention that i didn't have to do ANY computer work! no staring at my computer screen for hours on end to get this *look*! hallelujah!)
oh, you bet more are coming.
p.s. doesn't her expression just get you?

Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”

As Chernobyl Children International has worked in Chernobyl affected regions over the past 20 years, we’ve seen first hand the medical, economic and social devastation suffered by individuals, families and communities as a result of the disaster.
Our Community Care program provides at home care for severely disabled children. Many of these children were placed on waiting lists for orphanages and institutions by desperate parents who had no where else to turn. We provide professional services such as speech and language therapists, physical therapists, and psychologists.
Hospice Care programs, such as one might find in Ireland and the USA, are in very early stages of development in Belarus. Working in close collaboration with local organizations such as Gomel Hospice Care, our Hospice Care programme helps families care for their terminally ill children in the dignity and comfort of their own homes.
The children served by our Hospice and Community Care programmes are in urgent need of financial sponsorship.

5016g) Dorothy Ashby - 1965 Event Program for the Afro-American Broadcasting Company Awards Night Presentation held on February 14, 1965 at the Ford Auditorium in Detroit, Michigan. At that event the Dorothy Ashby Trio performed jazz music and El Hadj Malik Shabazz (aka the famous historical African-American figure widely known as Malcolm X) gave his last major speech before being assassinated exactly one week later on Feb 21, 1965.- Front Cover
This is an original issue 1965 event program booklet that was published to commemorate an event on February 14, 1965 at which Malcolm X gave his last major message just 7 days before his assassination on February 21, 1965. This event happened on the very same day that Malcolm X (or El Hajj Malik El Shabazz as was his preferred name at this time) had his Queens, New York home firebombed. Because of the damage his home suffered that night, he was not wearing his customary coat and tie because most of his clothes had been destroyed.
The "Afro American Broadcasting Company" was an African American organization that was formed in 1964 primarily to produce over the air radio programs that "met with African-American approval as spiritually free Black people". The organization began in 1964 to produce and distribute its own radio programs about the African American experience for radio stations throughout the Northeastern United States. The organization was formed in response to widespread dissatisfaction in the African American community with the content and character of radio programs produced about African Americans on "white radio stations". The purpose of the event held that Valentine's Day in 1965 was to raise money by selling tickets to the event itself. The money was to be used to provide scholarships to Afro American youth to enter the field then known as "mass communications". Malcolm X was particularly interested in supporting the African American media at this time because he recognized the importance of his speeches being accurately reported to the public by the mass media. Malcolm X's concern for accurate reporting of his views would explain his supporting this organization.
The event at which Malcolm X spoke that night was actually an awards event called the "First Annual Dignity Projection and Scholarships Award Night" sponsored by the Afro American Broadcasting Company. The event was complete with live music and famous persons being honored for their achievements including African-Americans such as Rosa Parks, Sidney Poitier, and Marion Anderson. The Dorothy Ashby Trio was part of the entertainment for this event. Malcolm X was the scheduled keynote speaker and he was the final speaker for that evening.
What was not commonly known is that the FBI, was very active in monitoring aka spying on the life of Malcolm X as well as others active in the civil rights movement. The FBI was concerned enough about the impact that this particular event in Detroit, Michigan might have. In fact the FBI was so concerned about this event that the FBI instituted what Malcolm X described later in his speech that night as a “Blackout” In this case a “blackout” meant that the FBI instituted a “counterintellengence” (COINTEL) action against the event by contacting and discouraging the larger sponsors such as Ford Motor Company, Chrysler Motor Company and others from supporting this event.
Near the end of his speech Malcolm X thanked his Detroit audience for attending the event. Apparently the fact that the FBI had attempted to sabotage this event was well known to Malcolm X. The FBI effort to peel support away from this event was at least successful enough so that the attendance was less than expected.
So few copies of this event program exist that I myself was contacted by a Detroit historian to provide photo scans of this copy.
The only other known copy of this event program noted on the Internet is a copy formerly owned by Rosa Parks, who was one of the individuals honored and pictured in the program. Distribution for this program may have been limited to the honorees and to the individuals and groups providing entertainment for the event.
This event program is not part of any collection that originated directly from Malcolm X or his family. It was and still is traditional to publish a very limited number of programs such as this to commemorate an event and then sell or give them away at the event. Since the program is dated on the front and was published strictly for this event, it is highly unlikely that the program was distributed after the date on the front. Because of the government pressure to suppress this historic event, chances are that any surviving copies of the event program were destroyed after the event.
This event program booklet is both extremely rare and very historic. Photographs of a corresponding 2 LP record set of Malcolm X's speech that night is included elsewhere in the Dorothy Ashby Legacy Photograph Collection only to give an additional historical reference as to what other recorded media was spawned as a result of the 1965 event that that this program commemorates.
