Knowledge exchanges between social innovators: visit to The Toucan’s Song, Vaupes, Colombia
Intercambio de saberes entre innovadores sociales: visita a El Canto del Tucán, Vaupés, Colombia.
Leaders from three social innovations recognized by the Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) recently gathered in Mitú, Colombia to exchange ideas and learn from El Canto del Tucán (The Toucan's Song), which was recognized as a social innovation in 2021 for its role in improving public health and the delivery of equitable health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The meeting was also an opportunity for cross-fertilization of ideas between El Canto Del Tucán, Mamás del RÃo, and Niños del Zika, which were all recognized by SIHI in 2019.
El Canto del Tucán achieved its goals by training young members of indigenous communities to become health communicators who could deliver valid and relevant health information to their communities using radio and other media. This innovative program has been successful in covering a vast area of Colombia’s Amazonic region, reaching communities in ten indigenous languages. By promoting local ownership and participation, El Canto del Tucán has empowered indigenous communities to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
Mamás del RÃo and Niños del Zika, which were also recognized by SIHI in 2019, have also been successful in promoting health and well-being in their respective communities. Mamás del RÃo is a community-based maternal and child health program that has improved access to healthcare for women and children in the Peruvian (and now also Colombian) Amazonic Region, supporting Community Health Workers. Niños del Zika, on the other hand, is a social innovation that was developed in response to the Zika virus outbreak in Colombia. The program led to beneficial policy changes in Colombia and focused on providing support and care to the families of those children affected by the virus while unborn.
The Social Innovation in Health Initiative (SIHI) is a global network of innovators, policymakers, and researchers who are committed to promoting social innovations that improve health and well-being for all.

If you're thinking it was painful it definately WASN'T! This was my first tattoo and everyone was telling me it was going to hurt really bad but as soon as he touched my skin the first thing I thought was "This is it?"
First grade has been using their computer class to make stop-motion animation films about community workers. First, each table group was assigned a different community worker: fire fighters, police officers, construction workers, train workers, or airline workers. The students used the computer to draw a backdrop in front of which their animation would be filmed. After story-boarding three different ways the community workers helps in the community, the students collaborated to create stop-motion films. Learn how these community workers do their jobs and help us in the process.

Remains of St Mary's Cathedral in Coventry, destroyed during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 1540s.
Coventry is known for losing its cathedral to wartime bombing; what is less well known is the fact that this is the second time this city has lost it's cathedral in 400 years. The original St Mary's Cathedral was supressed at the Dissolution, a monastic and Diocesan church in the then Diocese of Coventry & Lichfield; the latter alone remained as the medieval Coventry Cathedral was erased by history.
The cathedral complex was sold to a wealthy local businessman who rapidly sold off the materials, leaving the site so heavily plundered that by the 1600s barely even ruins remained.
There were formerly three towers, probably with spires like the sister cathedral at Lichfield. The base of the north west tower was still fairly complete up to at least the 1800s, though much was lost when it was incorporated into the newly built Bluecoat School buildings in 1856. The lancet window and arcading were lost at this time, and the rest remodelled for secular use, leaving only the bottom 3 metres and parts of the two octagonal turrets on the north side (capped by spirelets as a reminder of their former glory).
Much of the nave and monastic buildings to the north were revealed at the start of the century, many of the latter being surprisingly complete, but of the cathedral itself little more than foundations are visible.
Immediately adjacent to the old cathedral were the large cruciform church of Holy Trinity and the even larger St Michael's (which must have formed a remarkably impressive group prior to the 1540s). The latter was elevated to cathedral status in 1916 as one of the 'parish church cathedrals' when the Coventry Diocese was restored, but of course perished in the air raid of 1940, and was replaced by Basil Spence's world famous new building now physically joined to it, which itself almost touches what would have been the eastern extremity of St Mary's, therefore three cathedrals (past and present) stand in a single plot in the heart of the city, surely a unique occurance!
Twenty-three Des Moines metro middle and high school girls explored tools of the trade at a week-long summer camp aimed at exposing them to in-demand career opportunities in construction.
The students spent each morning at Des Moines Public School Central Campus to learn more about work-based learning and apprenticeship opportunities and to hear from women who are working in construction fields. Each afternoon, the students focused on a different skilled trade, toured partner facilities and participated in hands-on activities in construction, carpentry, plumbing, masonry and electrical.
Women account for less than 10 percent of all U.S. construction workers and just over 12 percent of all construction workers in Iowa. The camp aims to introduce girls to careers that they might never have considered.
Sponsored by the Iowa Department of Education, Des Moines Public Schools, Homebuilders of Iowa and Turner Construction, the Construction Camp for Girls is helping to break down stereotypes, foster interest and expose students to in-demand career opportunities where females have traditionally been underrepresented.
Raising awareness of high-demand jobs, such as those in the skilled trades, is in line with the Future Ready Iowa initiative, which is about growing a skilled workforce statewide by connecting Iowans to the education and training needed for rewarding careers.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission dedicated a state highway marker to commemorate the Meeting of Three Commanders on Wednesday.
The marker was placed close to Lynnhaven Colony Park on Shore Drive near where the meeting is believed to have taken place. The marker dedication ceremony will be held at the park shelter, 3125 Shore Drive.
Gen. André Lanata, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation of NATO Allied Command Transformation was the main speaker at the dedication ceremony. He is a French Air Force officer. Gen. Lanata will be joined by Virginia Beach Mayor Robert M. "Bobby" Dyer on the program.
The Meeting of Three Commanders occurred Sept. 18, 1781 between Gen. George Washington, commander-in-chief of the combined American and French armies, the Comte de Rochambeau, commander of the French expeditionary army, and Admiral François Joseph Paul de Grasse, commander of a large French fleet of warships. These commanders met aboard de Grasse's flagship on Lynnhaven Bay. It was here that the final strategies were devised that led to the stunning Franco-American victory at Yorktown.
The text for the marker was researched and developed by local historian Jorja Jean, who received a grant award from the Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission to fund the marker. The Virginia Board of Historic Resources approved the marker application at their June 2018 quarterly meeting. Virginia's historical marker program is the oldest such program in the nation.
The Virginia Beach Historic Preservation Commission is a City Council-appointed body that advises Council on issues related to the City's historic resources. The group seeks to preserve, protect and maintain the historic integrity of Virginia Beach and the former Princess Anne County through a program of advocacy and increased public awareness and involvement. The commission generally meets the first Wednesday evening of the month, except July and August, at 2101 Parks Ave., Suite 500.

The hills to the right of Mariepskop are known as Rodille, or "the bundles", because they resemble a file of women carrying bundles on their heads. The striking Three Rondavels are named after three of Maripi's wives. From lowest to highest, they are Magabolle, Mogoladikwe and Maseroto.
