Education & Resource Centre for Children is an initiative created by Unique Foundation the Gambia. Solomon Ifeanyi Nathaniel is the leader of Unique Foundation (UF) The Gambia, a charitable organization that works with vulnerable children, youths, women and rural communities in the Gambia. The main focus of UF is the right to health, education, and capacity building of the poor and vulnerable in the society; addressing issues such as poverty, illiteracy, vulnerability and marginalization. The Foundation also engages in Women’s legal rights, such as the right to be educated and employed, family planning, fighting against female genital mutilation (FGM). UF believes that education is one of the essential tools to facilitating societal change and every individual has some level of strength within, waiting to be uncovered.
The main goals of this project “Education & Resource Centre for Children” are:
•to increase access to textbooks, tutors and mentors for the less privileged children within Dippakunda slum. This will help improve the academic achievement of the children and reduce expenditure burden on poor families.
•to reduce number of children in age group 5 to 12 abandoning school and increase the number of children who enroll in school and attend regularly.
•To establish a learning center where children who under-attend or do not attend school feel able to tell their story, share information, express their feelings and make informed choices regarding their future and are given an equal opportunity to achieve their full potential as their peers in wealthy families and in other parts of the world. This will help them become responsible and productive citizens.
•to create a child-friendly environment where children who under-attend or do not attend school will be guided towards formal education and/or vocational studies that suit them best, and that will enable them to succeed, build confidence and courage towards future challenges.
Since inception of UF in 2014, the organization has been dedicated to advocating for the right to and importance of education for children living in poverty in The Gambia. We do this through awareness seminars in schools and communities, group and individual counseling, and dissemination of media publications. We have successfully reached more than 5 communities and more than 10 schools in The Gambia. These activities have helped to prevent a sizeable number of students at risk of dropping out of secondary school to remain in school and not drop out before the completion of 12th grade.
UF has also successfully collaborated with other non-governmental organizations in The Gambia to provide life skills such as information and communication technology (ICT) training for rural youth in villages around Tanji. Success stories from this training are evident as some participants have become self-employed by providing graphic design services while others have gone on to take further studies in ICT-related programs.
My new hair style means that my neck is bare - feels vulnerable. Also it was shaved to tidy the ends - stubble alert!

Mona Relief ground crew delivered for the third time urgent aid to vulnerable families in Wadi Ahmed Area in Sana'a.
Today's mission targeted 100 families there with blankets funded by a local donor and dignity kits funded by IOM Yemen.
Our humanitarian work was covered by local and international media outlets.
Pictures here showing you the real situation of families there.
Facts about Wadi Ahmed area
Wadi Ahmed in the capital Sana'a is located in eastern Sana'a and it is the most populated area in the capital Sana'a.
This area is a full of many vulnerable families and IDPs, who fled from Sa'ada, Taiz and Hajjeh governorates to this area. Most families there are under the level of poverty line, they don't have enough food, or clean water and they don't have any kid of furniture such as beds or blankets, children there are in dire need for everything, they don't have clothes or shoes to wear as most pictures showing you the real situation of families there.
In brief, the Wadi Ahmed area is a full of diseases and most children there don't receive any kind of health care services or any kind of education. I have seen many disabled who living in a very bad situation.
Mona Relief's volunteers conducted a survey for most needy families and IDPs, when we could entered to most houses in that area we shocked for the situation of families there.

Spring is the season for the Mule Deer Buck to shed his antlers. I watched as this buck crossed the pasture. His head was still bloody from the shed of the antlers. He was very wary of the other deer around him. It seemed as if he was feeling very vulnerable at this moment.
The photo was taken on the road between the Navajo Bridge and Lee's Ferry, just south-west of Page Arizona. I don't like the feeling that the rock is pointing out of the picture, but perhaps that's just me.
As always, if you like the image, please let me know why. Helpful suggestions are always welcome.
A building on Kawaramachi street, near Shijo. The building next to it - formerly the home of Sony Plaza - has been torn down. This building looks really, really vulnerable.

Vulnerability and the fear of showing the true self. Maybe for fear of rejection or perceived weakness.
"I should be strong all the time", "I should be perfect", "I shouldn't let people in".
At Newline yesterday, a mildly exciting find of nesting Brown Treecreepers. Here they are on top of their worryingly vertical hollow. I did manage to see them hand off food from the forager to the one inside the nest, but didn't manage to capture that moment, this time.
This subspecies (eastern race) is listed as vulnerable in NSW.

Welcome to my Flickr 365 Project! I’m calling it my 365 Species Project, because for each day of the year, I will post a photo of a different species of organism...
At the moment, I've fallen really far behind on my project. I know that some of you are quite disappointed, and that many others of you have simply lost interest. Well, to tell the truth, I've gotten quite burnt out recently, and I just haven't had it in me to keep up with the project. I've been staring at the computer so damn much at work, that I just can't find it in me to sit down and look at it for one more second in my free time, even for something I love so much as photography. So I've fallen behind in my project (and in other aspects of life!). I'm in a pretty good state of mind right now, and with field season starting to pickup for us herpetologists, I should hopefully be in the field a lot more and at my desk a lot less. That should mean a lot more new photos and a lot less catchup. But to drop some more truth on y'all, digging myself out of this hole I'm in is going to be quite a daunting task. So as not to get too much more burnt out, I'm only going to try for 2 or 3 photos a day, instead of worrying about catching up all at once. Wish me luck!
So today is day #117 of 365, but this is just photo #94.
