Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom’s Call page 24, and Neighbors

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

It is crucial that we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us today, and to come and work together, for all of us, right? Remembering that neighbors used to know and help each other is part of that, no?

I believe that attention to shared histories, as in DC, may provide part of an answer. I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” … encouraged to stay longer than it would have due to the presence of the two 16th Street institutions. As Marvin Caplan was inspired by the music of the Black church, and Rabbi Abramowitz and members of Tifereth Israel inspired by the complementing music of the Jewish soul, they marched with Dr. King to create a hopeful and more just world for people of all creeds and colors. So, too…

The boy asked: “Do you live in the USA?”

He said: “Yes.”

The boy answered: “Can I give your money back and instead ask you some questions?”

He said: “Have you had lunch? Let’s have lunch together.”

“How old are you my son?” He asked.

The boy said: “Sixteen. I will graduate from high school this year.”

No more silent cries! Thursday in Black campaign to end gender-based violence and child abuse continues tomorrow

Petchary's Blog

We have to continue speaking out on issues that concern us. A lot of these issues get forgotten about when they are no longer headline news – but it really needs to be a continuous reminder of what’s wrong in our society (whether people want to hear it or not). Advocacy must be consistent, and persistent!

So the Institute for Gender & Development Studies – Regional Coordinating Office (IGDS-RCO) at the University of the West Indies is requesting Jamaicans’ support and participation in their upcoming Thursday in Black Campaign to End gender-based violence (GBV). If you are on social media, do post and tag people and organizations, and spread the word.

This is an islandwide one-day campaign against violence against women and girls (VAWG), which came about in response to the recent incidents of femicide and other types of GBV directed at women and girls across Jamaica. The IGDS-RCO is…

Bhutan has managed to execute one of the world’s fastest and most effective vaccination programs – The Washington Post

The reclusive Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan managed to vaccinate 90 percent of its eligible population in a week, its Ministry of Health said Tuesday, making it one of the world’s fastest and most effective vaccination campaigns executed in the pandemic — after initially waiting for an auspicious day to start the drive.

The small nation nestled between India and China, managed to fully inoculate the eligible population with the second dose from July 20 to 26, with the help of more than 4,800 health workers across the country.

The successful distribution campaign in the country of nearly 800,000 inhabitants included a swift and early outreach by the government aided by a wide network of health workers and volunteers that helped deliver the coronavirus vaccines to small villages in hard-to reach rural areas. A proactive stance by top officials to tackle hesitancy and misinformation also proved key to their success.
