Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste

Paris, France - The United States is widely recognised as possessing the deepest, most liquid, and most efficient capital markets in the world. America's financial system supports efficient capital allocation, economic development, and job creation.
These and similar phrases have been common currency among American legislators, regulators, and financial firms for decades. Even in the wake of the financial crisis that erupted in 2008, they trip off the word processors of a hundred submissions challenging the so-called Volcker rule (which would bar banks from making proprietary investments). The casual reader nods and moves along.
But there are signs that these assumptions are now being challenged. Prior to the crisis, regulatory authorities focused mainly on removing barriers to trading, and generally favored measures that made markets more complete
Paris, France - The United States is widely recognised as possessing the deepest, most liquid, and most efficient capital markets in the world. The US financial system supports efficient capital allocation, economic development, and job creation.
But there are signs that these assumptions are now being challenged. Prior to the crisis, regulatory authorities focussed mainly on removing barriers to trading, and generally favoured measures that made markets more complete by fostering faster, cheaper trading of a wider variety of financial claims. That is no longer the case. On the contrary, nowadays many are questioning the assumption that greater market efficiency is always and everywhere a public good.
Might such ease and efficiency not also fuel market instability, and serve the interests of intermediaries rather than their clients? Phrases like "sand in the machine" and "grit in the oyster", which were pejorative in the prelapsarian days of 2006, are now used to support regulatory or fiscal changes that may slow down trading and reduce its volume.
For example, the proposed Financial Transactions Tax (FTT) in the European Union implies a wide-ranging impost generating more than €50bn ($67bn) a year to shore up the EU's own finances and save the euro. The fact that 60-70 per cent of the receipts would come from London is an added attraction for its continental advocates. Opponents argue, in pre-crisis language, that the FTT would reduce market efficiency and displace trading to other locations. "So what?" supporters reply: maybe much of the trading is "socially useless", and we would be better off without it.
The Volcker rule (named for former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker) provoked similar arguments. Critics have complained that it would reduce liquidity in important markets, such as those for non-US sovereign debt. Defending his creation, Volcker harks back to a simpler time for the financial system, and refers to "overly liquid, speculation-prone securities markets". His message is clear: he is not concerned about lower trading volumes.
There is more grit on the horizon. In a penetrating analysis of the "Flash Crash" of May 6, 2010, when the Dow lost $1tn of market value in 30 minutes, Andy Haldane of the Bank of England argues that while rising equity-market capitalisation might well be associated with financial development and economic growth, there is no such relationship between market turnover and growth.
Turnover in US financial markets rose four-fold in the decade before the crisis. Did the real economy benefit? Haldane cites a striking statistic: in 1945, the average investor held the average US share for four years. By 2000, the average holding period had fallen to eight months; by 2008, it was two months.
"It is only a decade since trading speeds fell below one second; they are now as fast as the blink of an eye. Technological change promises even faster trading speeds in the near future."
There appears to be a link between this precipitous drop in the average duration of stock holdings and the phenomenon of the so-called "ownerless corporation", whereby shareholders have little incentive to impose discipline on management. That absence of accountability, in turn, has contributed to the vertiginous rise in senior executives' compensation and, in financial firms, to a shift away from shareholder returns and towards large payouts to insiders.
But Haldane's main concern is with the stability of markets, particularly the threats posed by high-frequency trading (HFT). He points out that HFT already accounts for half of total turnover in some debt and foreign-exchange markets, and that it is dominant in US equity markets, accounting for more than one-third of daily trading, up from less than one-fifth in 2005.
The rapid, dramatic shifts brought about by HFT are likely to continue. It is only a decade since trading speeds fell below one second; they are now as fast as the blink of an eye. Technological change promises even faster trading speeds in the near future.
Indeed, HFT firms talk of a "race to zero", the point at which trading takes place at close to the speed of light. Should we welcome this trend? Will light-speed trading deliver us to free-market Nirvana?
The evidence is mixed. It would seem that bid-offer spreads are falling, which we might regard as positive. But volatility has risen, as has cross-market contagion. Instability in one market carries over into others.
As for liquidity, while on the surface it looks deeper, the joint report on the Flash Crash prepared by the US Securities and Exchange Commission and the US Commodity Futures Trading Commission shows that HFT traders scaled back liquidity sharply, thereby exacerbating the problem. The liquidity that they apparently offer proved unreliable under stress - that is, when it is most needed.
There are lessons here for regulators. First, their monitoring of markets requires a quantum leap in sophistication and speed. There is a case, too, for looking again at the operation of circuit-breakers (which helped the Chicago markets in the crash), and for increasing the obligations on market makers.
Such steps must be carefully calibrated, as greater obligations, for example, could push market makers out of the market. But Haldane's conclusion is that, overall, markets are less stable as a result of the sharp rise in turnover, and that "grit in the wheels, like grit on the roads, could help forestall the next crash".
So the traditional defence of US and, indeed, European capital markets is not as axiomatic as it once seemed. Market participants need to engage more effectively with the new agenda, and not assume that claims of greater "market efficiency" will win the day. Without more sophisticated arguments, they might well find themselves submerged under a pile of regulatory sandbags.

No MODEL.
APPARATUS? PATENTED JULY 28, 1903.l
lllllllllllllllmlI 1 ite. 735,019.
p UNITED- STATESI atented July A28, IQ'O.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 735,019, dated July 28, 1903.
Application iiled August 5, l1902. Serial No. 118,426. (No mode1.\.
11, Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Apparatus for Impregnating or Staining Wood, of which f the following is a specification.
Different systems have been hitherto used for impregnating and staining wood by forcing the dyeing liquid under pressure into the wood. There are also apparatuses where the wood is closed with its front face in a receptacle, and the im pregnatiug orstaining liquid is pressed in at this end. Such apparatuses are, however, more or less expensive. Their handling and the obtaining of a'tight closing of the wood piece introduced therein is connected with great trouble and difficulties; besides, their bulky size making them diiiicult to be moved from one place to another they are of no usein forests or wood-cutting places.
The present invention relates to an apparatus for impregnating and staining wood where the receptacle containing the impregnating or staining liquid is provided with an .elastic neck reaching into the interior of the q In the opening of this neck the receptacle. wood under treatment is introduced, and as soon as the liquid in the receptacle undergoes a pressure a tight closing of the neck around the wood is effected by the liquid under pressure.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l shows the apparatus in a standing position; Fig. 2, the same in horizontal position. Fig.
- 3 is a top view of Fig. l, and Figs.4 and 5 .material-such as indiarubber, leather, or
the like-having a pendulous portion c',reacl1 ing into the interior of the receptacle, and is firmly gripped at its edge c2 between the iiange of the receptacle and a plate f, fastened to the iiange. v v
The elastic neck c forms an opening which, according to the Wood under treatment, may be round, square, or long. The wood to be impregnated or stained is passed with its one end through this opening-way into the interior of the receptacle b, whereby only a. rough hewing of the Wood with an ax or a saw is required. I
Through a pressure by a pump on the liquid introduced into the receptacle and surrounding the end of the wood piece the free or pendulous part c of the necktightens itself close to the wood, and the higher the pressureA on the liquor the tighter the pendulous part of the neck closes around the wood, so as to completely calk it. The liquid is then forced under pressure into the channels or pores of the wood, impreguating it up to its other end. For correctly adjusting the wood piece toward the opening of the neck screws g, Fig.` 2, may be used.
The height or length of the receptacle depends entirely upon the nature of the wood to be impregnated or stained. Sound pieces without flaws need only ashort di pping,while for fiawy and knotty ones correspondinglylonger receptacles` are required.
As seen from Figs. 4 andb 5, a number of the above-described receptacles may be joined to one pressure-pipe h, enabling thus to enlarge a plant to any desired workingcapacity'. For this purpose dierent sizes of those forms mostly to be used are kept on stock and introduced in the receptacle just as they are required.
The staining and impregnating of wood with the above-described apparatus is done much easier and simpler than with any hitherto-known apparatus, and it may be worked at any place without difficulty.
The course of the process may be followed to the end, and besides by the liquid press- IOO . claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
n an apparatus of the character described, a receptacle into one end of which the iinpregnating liquid is forced under pressure, a plate having an opening closing the oppositeend of said receptacle, a neck having a pendulous portion extending into the receptacle,
said neck having an opening corresponding to the opening in the plate, and means for removably clamping the edge of said neck between the plate and receptacle, all arranged so that when the log to b'e treated enters the receptacle through the opening in the plate and neck; the pendulous portion of the neck is clamped to the log by the pressure of liquid in the receptacle.
InV testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ELORA — In the small, warm kitchen where she has written a pile of cookbooks, Anita Stewart pours a second cup of mint tea made from leaves that came from the University of Guelph.
"It's hellishly good for you," says the personable Canadian culinary expert, laughing as she speaks.
The mint tea, containing high levels of a naturally occurring compound called rosmarinic acid, was produced as part of a research program at the university.
And Stewart, the newly named "food laureate" at the school, will soon be finding out more about this tea and about other food-related research and development going on there.
Then she'll make sure you can find out about it, too.
The Elora woman already knows more than most people about how the University of Guelph is developing and enhancing Canadian foods, ingredients and culinary knowledge. More than 10 years ago, she created the school's "food inventory," which highlights the work of its researchers and their affiliates.
The inventory includes her chatty descriptions of "jumbo" raspberries, of bees bred for mite resistance, a new cherry variety, the famous Yukon Gold potato and barley that "revolutionized" Canada's barley industry.
As "food laureate" — it's a paid position which the university believes is a world first — Stewart will update the food inventory. She wants you know, for example, about the research program to grow food in outer space.
And don't get her started talking about the university's massive collection of Canadian cookbooks. It's the largest such collection on the planet, says Stewart, who has a master of arts degree in gastronomy from the University of Adelaide in Australia.
In her new post she will be a tour guide for visitors looking for information about, say, organic farming in Canada.
She plans to tell people about her Canadian chef heroes (chef Roger Dufau of Elora is one), about our world-class restaurants (Sooke Harbour House on Vancouver Island, for example), and about top cheesemakers who graduated from the University of Guelph.
She will also hold workshops exposing students to the best food innovators.
Her new role will strengthen the school's reputation as "Canada's food university," president Alastair Summerlee said in a recent statement.
Stewart believes passionately that Canada is a culinary nation with not one, but hundreds of cuisines, "depending upon ethnicity, climate and history."
"We're a diverse, colourful nation with all sorts of culinary superstars who can stand on any world stage," she says.
Stewart's "food laureate" title, which she will hold for two years, is the latest of many titles she has accumulated since she began touring Canada in the early 1980s, visiting lighthouses, inns, farm kitchens and First Nations communities to write about the country's diversity of regional foods.
With Elora as her home base since 1973, she has hunted mushrooms in B.C. forests, fished for pike in northern Manitoba and eaten side-by-side with Newfoundlanders aboard the oil rig Hibernia. She has sailed on icebreakers to see what B.C. lightkeepers are cooking; watched Cree in northern Quebec roast wild geese and devoured smoked pork chops and homemade sauerkraut in a Mennonite kitchen in Waterloo Region.
"I travel with an eye to the ingredients," she says.
Stewart has been called "Canada's coolest food intellectual," the "patron saint of Canadian cuisine" and the "Wonder Woman of Canadian cuisine." The last accolade, especially, makes her laugh.
But while she may not own Wonder Woman's magic lasso, Stewart, an unpretentious woman who injects a sense of fun in her discussions about food, does have a gift for finding Canadians with unique food stories and writing about them.
Earlier this year, she was appointed to the Order of Canada. She is also the author or co-author of 14 books on Canadian foods and wines. And she founded Cuisine Canada, an organization that annually presents cookbook awards to Canadian authors.
These days, she's working on the annual "Food Day Canada" event, a day in August each year when Canadians create a feast or a simple dinner with only Canadian ingredients — or head to a restaurant that does it for them. Then they post menus and stories about their celebrations on a website.
Food Day Canada grew out of the World's Longest BBQ event, which Stewart created in 2003 to support beef farmers during that year's "mad cow" crisis.
Upstairs in the house where she has lived more than 30 years and raised four sons — three of them are chefs — Stewart's honorary degrees, diplomas and awards fight for space with cookbooks, agriculture books, reference books about Canadian cooking and culinary histories.
Carol Ferguson's A Century of Canadian Home Cooking and Barbara Santich's Looking for Flavour are on a shelf reserved for favourites.
If she were to be marooned on an island, she says, she'd want to have with her The Earth's Blanket, a bookby ethno-botanist Nancy Turner. It describes the native plant foods which sustained First Nations communities for centuries.
Stewart's home is a culinary island of sorts and she surrounds herself there with produce, spices, books, canned goods, paintings and other items that remind her of the importance of local foods, and of family.
In the kitchen, a plate of moist bran muffins (a recipe for The Best Bran Muffins is featured in Stewart's The Flavours of Canada cookbook) with chopped apple and cranberries sits beside a jar of golden-coloured peaches.
When a visitor asks about the root drying on her front walk, she cuts a piece of Jerusalem artichoke and offers a taste.
She's proud of her heirloom dining-room table, with her grandmother's grinder marks etched into the wood. There's a painting of a blueback salmon she caught off B.C.'s Quadra Island and a poster describing a fun venture by her son Jeff, an exotic menu featuring bugs. Paintings by her mother, Anne MacDonald, are on the walls upstairs.
Stewart figures that her love of food and cooking began when she was a child.
She and her mother had moved to Mount Forest after the death of her father and her mother got a job teaching high school there.
"She said, 'I'll make you a deal. You cook and I'll clean up,'" recalls Stewart, who was about 12 then.
"I really enjoyed it." Back then, "pork chops and mushroom soup was exciting," a recipe that "I still don't mind at all," she says, laughing.
Then she discovered Gourmet magazine and "a world opened up."
From the book The Flavours of Canada, by Anita Stewart. Stewart says you can omit the apples and raisins and add all sorts of other fruits and nuts. Her favourite is a healthy addition of chopped dates with a few walnuts.
1 cup (250 mL) brown sugar
½ cup (125 mL) canola oil
1 egg
1 cup (250 mL) natural bran
1 cup (250 mL) sour milk or buttermilk
¼ cup (50 mL) fancy molasses (optional)
1 tsp. (5 mL) vanilla
1 cup (250 mL) whole-wheat flour
1 tsp. (5 mL) baking soda
½ tsp. (2mL) baking powder
½ - ¾ cup (125 – 175 mL) chopped nuts
½ cup (125 mL) golden raisins
1 cup (250 mL) chopped unpeeled apple
In a large mixing bowl, whisk sugar, oil and egg about 2 minutes or until light in colour. Stir in bran, sour milk, molasses and vanilla. In a separate bowl, sift or stir together flour, baking soda and baking powder. Stir into the bran mixture, combining well. Fold in nuts, raisins and apple or whatever other addition you've chosen.
Spoon into 12 paper-lined or well-greased muffin tins. Bake in a preheated 400 F (200 C) oven 20 to 22 minutes or until dark brown. Let cool 5 minutes before removing from pan. Makes 12 muffins.

Teaching and Learning
The strategic use of information technology has the ability to transform teaching and learning helping institutions realize EDUCAUSE's mission of "transforming education through information technologies." All institutions have made educating learners a critical priority. Technology is a means, not an end, toward that goal.
EDUCAUSE focuses on understanding learners, aligning learning principles and practices together and integrating learning technology—all with the goal of improving student success. EDUCAUSE members also benefit from tools and techniques that enable them to deliver high quality academic programs and support services in a flexible manner. The strategic use of information technology can enhance student engagement, improve access, and make services more convenient. As IT is integrated into the academic enterprise, a number of other issues are raised such as financing, policies, faculty involvement, and assessment.
We encourage you to explore EDUCAUSE's resources on teaching and learning. These include the work of our members as well as material contributed from EDUCAUSE's strategic initiative, the EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative. We hope you will find the material of use and encourage you to contribute to future EDUCAUSE activities in teaching and learning.

PRLog - Nov. 12, 2012 - DALLAS -- Rare and unique items from sports, television and film history have long been accepted as important pop culture artifacts, appearing in all kinds of sales and auctions across the country.
The IVGAH website is live
Now similar items from the world of video gaming culture and history stand on equal ground with the launch of the International Video Game Auction House website.
The IVGHA website, which launched on Monday, November 12, aims to provide a platform for high-end video gaming collectibles and artifacts, including items with historical impact that helped shape the culture and history of the video game industry.
"While there are already auction sites that focus on the buying and selling of video games and cartridges, there is no other site like this one which is dedicated to hobbyists who collect relics, memorabilia and artifacts that commemorate the history of the worldwide video game culture," the website says. "As a pioneer in the video game collecting field, this Auction House will feature choice, unique and rare items that tell the story of the video game age, from the design and development of history's greatest video games to important milestones in the growth of gaming as an established sport."
The IVGHA is the concept of video game Hall of Famer Ben Gold, who will be travelling from North Texas to Denver, Colorado this weekend to reveal more information at the 1up Arcade's 'Kong Off II' event.
The new website can be found at http://ivgah.com/

|At midnight, the United States Federal Government will run out of cash. It's agents have taken to the airwaves to tell us how horrible a place the world will become, without our national parks and other "non-essential" personnel, but we're pretty sure we can do without them. So let's celebrate the beginning of the end, for our enemy, the State!

Government anti-poverty programs are a classic case of the therapeutic state setting out to treat disorders created by the state itself. Urban poverty as we know it is, in fact, exclusively a creature of state intervention in consensual economic dealings. This claim may seem bold, even to most libertarians. But a lot turns on the phrase "as we know it." Even if absolute laissez faire reigned beginning tomorrow, there would still be people in big cities who are living paycheck to paycheck, heavily in debt, homeless, jobless, or otherwise at the bottom rungs of the socioeconomic ladder. These conditions may be persistent social problems, and it may be that free people in a free society will still have to come up with voluntary institutions and practices for addressing them. But in the state-regimented market that dominates today, the material predicament that poor people find themselves in—and the arran... more »

Since Sandra Bland was killed in police custody, a number of theories have arisen regarding how she died and why. Few believe that she committed suicide, and the investigation into her death has now shifted gears from a suicide investigation, to a homicide.
But one of the most intriguing theories that is starting to circulate on Black Twitter is whether or not Sandra Bland was actually dead already when her mugshots were taken.
While the evidence is far from conclusive, these are definitely questions worth asking.
Some of the question that people have posed about the mugshot image include:
Why does Sandra already have an orange jumpsuit on in a mugshot supposedly taken during in-processing?
Why are the locks of her hair descending backwards, as though she is laying down, rather than standing up? If she was standing up, her locks should be hanging straight down, as they are in ev... more »

Harsanyi frames American politics as "a debate that pits the theories of 18th-century liberalism—the kind that brought us the Constitution and limited government—against ideas first embraced in 19th-century Marxism." When I see a grownup claim to believe something like that, I can't help but wonder if he thinks pro wrestling is real.

This article won the 2011 Beth A. Hoffman Memorial Prize for Economic Writing.
Although critics on the left are very astute in describing the evils of present-day society, they usually fail to understand either the root of those problems (government intervention) or their solution (the operation of a freed market). In Progressive commentary on energy, pollution, and so on—otherwise often quite insightful—calls for government intervention are quite common. George Monbiot, for instance, has written that "[t]he only rational response to both the impending end of the Oil Age and the menace of global warming is to redesign our cities, our farming and our lives. But this cannot happen without massive political pressure."
But this is precisely backward. Existing problems of excess ene... more »

Well some of us are finished with trying to save you, we've wasted enough effort trying to convince you that you should be free, all you ever do is spout back what your masters have taught you, that being free only leads to chaos and destruction, while being obedient and subservient leads to peace and prosperity.

After a blowback shooting, when people complain that the government's troops are kept unarmed, no one ever seems to ask why. The answer: the government fears its own troops. And that's OK with me, since more hordes of heavily armed occupation forces wouldn't exactly equate to safety.

Is it really possible that the simple no-change forecast of 21st Century temperatures is better than the IPCC projections from expensive and complex computer models?
Yes, it is. That conclusion is consistent with the evidence Scott Armstrong and I present in our recently published review of evidence on the effect of complexity on forecasting. We found that using complex methods increases forecast errors relative to the forecasts from simple methods that decision makers could understand by 27% on average.

Basic fact check here: Every decade for the past century, we have increased spending on jobs and education, and we have also put more people in prisons. More spending on jobs/education always means more people in prison. Maybe if we spent less money on jobs/education, we would end up with fewer people in prison.

What political objective cannot be furthered by holding seniors' Social Security hostage? Are seniors driving too much? What do retirees need to drive for anyway? Should everyone else have to pay so they can destroy the climate? Maybe Social Security needs to to be withheld until they give up their drivers licences. We can already take social security to pay student debts, and we can hold up welfare benefits to advance the drug war. So what policies can't we use social security to advance?

State panel wants more information before ruling on Obama's ballot eligibility
If you read the Constitution there was a provision enabling Washington to be President "or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this Constitution," skin color also has nothing to do with it for he is as much white as he is black and it was his white side that taught him all the commie crap. Kansas will go down in history as one who stood for the rule of law and the Constitution. More states would be wise to follow. Let the truth win out.

State Objections Board says it needs more information to determine if Obama is eligible to be on Kansas ballot
I don't know but others do have Election Board where challenges and complaints are handled.

State Objections Board says it needs more information to determine if Obama is eligible to be on Kansas ballot
Foolsfor trying to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law? These elected officials should be thanked for trying to protect you. You should encourage them and let the truth play out.

State Objections Board says it needs more information to determine if Obama is eligible to be on Kansas ballot
Appearently you have not done your homework. The fact that Obama's father was never an American citizen is what make Obama ineligible because he is not a Natural Born Citizen. Romney's father was born in another country but became a US citizen before Romney's birth which makes Romney a Natural Born Citizen. It is not a matter of what country you were born in but a matter if you were a US Citizen before the birth of your children for them to become Natural Born Citizens.
The fact Obama's birth announcement was listed in a paper proves nothing because all announcements were initiated by the Hawaii Health Dept. who complied a list of all Birth Certificates issued. These certificates included the ones available to in Hawaii to baby who were not born in Hawaii but because of ancestory were allowed to maintain heritage throught issuing these certificated. I suggest you check out the 4 or 5 different Birth Certificates available in Hawaii in 1961.
It is possible Obama is an American citizen but not a Natural Born Citizen therefore inelligible to be President. However, no one knows for sure since he will not release anything but a forged document and has spent millions of our tax payer dollars to hide any and all original documents. That is except his stolen SS# which he also will not allow original application to be seen.
The only election fraud is by Obama who is using a forged birth certificate, forged Selective Service application and SS# never issued to him. Would you say this were grounds for impeachment?

Peaceful, cool and beautiful oasis within the walls of the crazy city of Marrakech. Sybille is the perfect host. We ate in every evening and Sybille's cooking is delicious. We enjoyed the breakfasts and sunbathing on the roof in the afternoons after hectic mornings in the Souk. Saad, Sybille's husband, is very amusing. Room was very comfortable.
Positioned in the North of the city it only takes 15/20 mins to walk to the Jamaa el Fna Square. We found it hard to relax completely in many areas of the souks as the cars, dumper trucks vans and particularly scooters come at you from every direction. They never seem to hit anyone but it's very disconcerting.
Tips: 1) To orient yourself in the souks remember that the satelite dishes face south 2) If you hire a taxi to go to the mountains ensure the driver speaks English. Our trip was spoiled as we couldn't discuss prettier destinations and ended up in a rather tacky, dirty village in the mountains.
Had a great send off on the final evening when S&S arranged a Berber group to play (and dance) for us. Fantastic!

Autoscript made the first European demonstrations of its new high-brightness LED TFT-Plus flat screen, a 5.6in flat-screen monitor, and frictionless magnetic prompter foot control at IBC2009. All three were introduced in April at the NAB Show.
Leveraging recent advances in LED technology, Autoscript offers next-generation illumination technology at no extra cost over its current TFT display range. LED technology offers advantages like display longevity, performance, reliability and "green" energy savings.
The Miniscript 5.6, a 1lb, on-camera 5.6in flat-screen monitor, offers all of the standard functions of the company's larger monitors, including connections for composite BNC and Hirose power inputs.
The MFC-1 Magno foot control and companion MFC desk pad integrate frictionless magnetic control to overcome the weakening of tension springs that occurs due to the repeated pushing and twisting action normally applied to mechanical foot controllers.

Schoolbooks for Children in Darfur
Roll over image to zoom in
When so much terrible news continues to come out of the the ravaged region of Darfur, Sudan, it can seem impossible to know what to do. But there is still good being done in Darfur, and there are still ways to help.
In 2009, student enrollment in the Darfur Schools Program increased from 8,300 to 21,112. Girls made up 48% of the total student population and were enrolled in the same classes as boys. Before DPDO's involvement, teachers living in the refugee camps were volunteering their time to gather and teach children using any resources available. Students received their lessons sitting under trees or in the sun, writing in the sand instead of notebooks.
Today, DPDO provides textbooks -- a set shared between two students -- in each curriculum area. Children share books in pairs, helping stretch resources as well as helping the children understand the materials.
You can help. Just $21.25 U.S. funds five sets of textbooks to be shared by ten Darfuri children attending a Peace School.
Report from the Field
Darfur Peace & Development Organization (DPDO)
Fall of 2010
Eighth grade students at the DPDO Schools completed the 2009/10 school year with a high school entrance exam. All DPDO schools reported at least 94% of their students passing this exam, while the Shobani and Daro schools reported 100% of their students achieved passing grades. Three students in the program were the highest-scoring students in Northern Darfur.
DPDO Schools of Peace enroll children from all ethnic groups and encourage the attendance of girls, traditionally excluded from primary education. School enrollment and attendance are free for all students. DPDO is not religiously affiliated and does not promote any religion.
Darfur Peace & Development Organization (DPDO) is a non-profit, non-sectarian organization with headquarters in Washington, D.C. and offices in Khartoum and El Fasher, Sudan. DPDO provides humanitarian and development assistance to the victims of conflict in Darfur, Sudan without regard to ethnicity, gender, age or religious beliefs.
