Just saw this link about a Tibetan activist who was recently arrested in Bejing for blogging and vlogging (video blogging) about the Chinese government. I hope she's ok.

Another great BoingBoing story about some Pakistani bloggers who covered a high-profile standoff between police and the leader of a radical faction. Apparently, the bloggers were able to cover the event in real-time, before the mainstream media (newspapers, etc.) knew what was going on...

women's work can be effectively organized in five's. first, energizing oneself at the start of the day.i always visualize my whole day when i wake up, doing all the bodily movements, from smiling to kicking my feet up the air. then i go for a hearty silent conversation with the Divine Creator, listening and asking how the day will go.

The definition of poverty is steadily moving towards a human rights-based vision highlighting its underlying multitude of causes.

Since September 11, 2001 have you noticed any specific changes in your country or region that have an impact on NGOs?

I just read a very interesting post on the popular newsblog BoingBoing about China's development work in Africa. Thought you might enjoy...

p.s. I posted this from a mobile phone, so kudos to the design team for launching such a smooth, simple blog interface...

There is part of CVT's regular website where there are links to tools and resources:

Resource Center

Attached to this Blog entry is a sample of a timeline for preparing and conducting an annual fundraising event.

This sample timeline can be used to help each of us as we prepare for annual events for our own organizations.  It was prepared and shared by Carol Prendergast from Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture.  She shared this tool in last month's webinar.

My name is Nicole Palasz. I used to work with the New Tactics project, and I am excited to reconnect with all of you. I am sorry I have been slow to join the discussions, but I look forward to being an active member of the New Tactics online community. I have enjoyed reading your blog entries so far.

Play role is a very important tool to educate in all countries but it is very special in Africa and countries where literacy rate is low and poverty is high.

Hey everyone. As you work with the website, I'd love it if you let me know what questions come up. Chances are, if you have trouble figuring out how to do something, someone else will have trouble too. So even if you figure it out, let me know what you were trying to do (and I might need to find out from you how you did it because I'm learning how this site works too).

 
I work on a project called the National Capacity Building at CVT. One tool we use is Webinars or on-line seminars as a format for sharing one person's knowledge with others.

I would love to hear from anyone in the community who also works at trying share expertise! I think this New Tactics site will be a big help to our work...

A visit to the shops in Harare isn't a very positive experience. Shelves have been emptied of all of the basic commodities, leaving expensive South African wine and tinned fish for those with money to burn.

In Gbarnga, the day was observed through a Parade; Indoor Program with a keynote address; and a movie about torture screened.

On Sunday  22 July 2007 Cameroonians will be going to the polls in what has been called twin elections- Parliamentary and municipal election. Campaigns are heightening within political party rungs for the 180 seats at the legislative house and several other local council seats.

Dear friends,

I am sending you CAC report regarding human rights violation in KGZ - 2006

women do work very hard but have to earn enough. community work by women is valuable but we dont always get payment. for instance, all this web work helps women

am studying  various ways to tap cultures a source of solutions. where can we have the training resources for women to learn effective strategies ? who can provide the venues and sustain the learning ?

questions are important. equally significant is the attitude that people take when answering such queries.
