Black Women in American Culture and History celebrated
By Dave Palmer
LOS ANGELES — In his proclamation for this year’s National African American History Month, President Barack Obama stated that the achievements of African American women are not limited to what has been recorded or retold in our history books.
“Their impact is felt in communities where they are quiet heroes who care for their families, in boardrooms where they are leaders of industry, in laboratories where they are discovering new technologies, and in classrooms where they are preparing the next generation for the world they will inherit,” said Obama.
For the Los Angeles District’s observance held Feb. 23, the Black Employment Special Emphasis Program committee chose a woman as keynote speaker who exemplifies service to family and community.
Carolynn Martin introduces herself as a mother, grandmother and community activist of 40 years. She is the current president of the Los Angeles View Park Section of the National Council of Negro Women.
“Our founder envisioned an organization of organizations… we have 240 sections worldwide,” said Martin. “However, we have 28 affiliate organizations that are part of our organization. The idea was not to re-invent the wheel, we wanted to have a platform so all women’s organizations could speak."
NCNW was founded in 1935 by Mary McLeod Bethune a child of slave parents who distinguished herself as an educator and consultant while serving on FDR’s Black Cabinet.
“For us at View Park, our signature programs are HIV prevention and education for women and girls and a program that I love, the Phoenix Leadership Academy for girls.”
The Phoenix Leadership Academy is a summer program for girls ages 8 to 13. The academy's stated purpose is to develop leadership skills while focusing on prevention of juvenile crime, disease, teen pregnancy and enhancing academic achievement.
Martin handed out a flier for her section’s next big event, “Rock the Red Pumps”, which is part of the National Women and Girls HIV/AIDS Awareness Day Campaign on March 10. According to the CDC, the estimated rate of new HIV infections for black women is more than 15 times as high as the rate for white women, and more than three times as high as that of Latina women.
“The funding for HIV prevention, STD prevention, unplanned pregnancy (prevention) is almost nothing in California,” said Martin. “Those are the subjects that we talk about and why we do ‘Rock the Red Pumps’ to attract young women, because you know, a message from a young woman to another young woman might be more effective.”
Martin made it clear that volunteers of all races and genders are welcome, stating that their programs have a positive impact on all of society; it's the community working for the community.
On the theme, District Commander Col. Mark Toy said that this year’s campaign really resonated with him. He described the person he considered to be the most influential leader of his career… a strong, African American woman.
“For me, that battalion commander who was my best battalion commander was Lt. Col. Yvonne Prettyman-Beck,” said Toy. “When you think about what we’re doing here in Los Angeles, the motto that we have, ‘Building Strong and Taking Care of People’, I have to say that idea about taking care of people had its infancy with Lt. Col. Prettyman-Beck and how she treated me. She showed me what right looked like.”

The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

Project Title: Distribution of Solar Lanterns for Kachi Abadi Liyari ExpressWay ,Near 13-D , Gulshan e Iqbal , Karachi .

Donor: Lodhie Foundation
Implementing Partner: Ms Samiya Khan.
Project Manager/Coordinator: Abdul Samad
Project Locations
The Lodhie Foundation initiative brings a “First Ray of Light” to the rural and poor communities and backward areas of Pakistan. Since 2003, this philanthropic initiative has continued to achieve his goal to bring the poorest people of Pakistan opportunities for socio-economic development. The program has been building momentum and successful results since its beginning. The key element is the distribution and maintenance of solar LED lighting systems through the guidance and management of Pervaiz Lodhie Founder Trustee of Lodhie Foundation located in Karachi, Pakistan
Ever since introducing a noble cause of distribution of SOLAR LANTERN ( ROSHNI ) to the needy and poor villagers and families of rural areas in Pakistan under the Donation of Ms Samiya Khan, a team Lodhie Foundation was assigned to visit the Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way Karachi to observe and witness the distribution of Solar Lantern ROSHNI to the most needy people of Kachi Abadi Liyari Express Way ,near 13-D Gulshan e Iqbal , Karachi,
As a gesture of goodwill Ms Samiya Khan Donor of Lodhie Foundation offered a gift of 100 solar powered LED lights to the people of Kachi abadi Liyari Express Way, Karachi
Benefits
•Freedom from Darkness — The sunlight fades as early as 6 p.m, leaving the villagers in complete darkness. With solar lantern lighting, they have about an additional five hours of light to add to each day.
•Freedom from Illiteracy — More hours of light means more hours for children to study and get a better education, which is crucial to improving their social-economic future.
•Freedom from Poverty — With solar LED lanterns, the villagers no longer have to pay for expensive kerosene lanterns. Also, with more hours of light, the men and women have additional hours to work, which means more income for each household.
•Freedom from Hunger — More income means more money to better feed each member of the family; a daily concern for villagers.
•Freedom from Disease — Kerosene lanterns give off toxic and dangerous fumes; solar LED lanterns do not. LED lanterns also provide extra visibility, which helps against nighttime hazards.
Our goal is to help with the care and treatment of diabetes including diagnosing the symptoms. Being able to diagnose quickly is very important. We also aim to give the most useful information we can find, with as much help as possible..

A coastal resiliency project, funded by the Chesapeake and Atlantic Coastal Bays Trust Fund, aims to reduce shoreline erosion on a tidal marsh area located on the west side of the Verrazano Bridge, adjacent to the park’s boat ramp and fishing pier.
The project seeks to construct a series of 10 headland structures to dissipate wave energy created during large coastal storm events. The nature-based structures will consist of boulders, cobble and clean sand, which will then be planted with native wetland vegetation.
