freeplay news haiku poem
batteries are dear
news, lessons over radio
the sound of cranking
----
the freeplay foundation is an organization close to my heart because it brings together many of my interests: poverty alleviation, human rights protection, education, renewable energy, and technology, especially appropriate technology.
from its testimonials page:
freeplay is one of the charities which can be supported through the goodsearch website.
what i did was make goodsearch my browser's home page, and i now run all of my searches through it. at least this way, when i search, i can contribute the estimated 1 cent per search to the freeplay foundation. :)
if you would like to do the same, click on the banner below to go to the goodsearch website. the freeplay foundation will already be entered as the beneficiary charity. then either bookmark that page, or set it as your home page, and you're good to go.
so, that's it. :) my apologies for going on at length in these past few posts about freerice, pink for october, kiva, goodsearch, and freeplay. again, these are subjects close to my heart, so in a way i couldn't help but discuss them here.

Fanwell Besa, Writer/Producer for the Educational Broadcasting Service, Zambia
"The Freeplay wind up radios are of great benefit to our education programmes. In the areas where children are using wind-up radios, the programme is experiencing no problems at all. The teachers wind it up or put it in the sun and can listen to the lessons. In the areas where there are no Freeplay radios, there are big problems because there is no money for batteries."
Chantal, 16, looks after two younger brothers. The boys go to school but she does not. Their father was killed in the genocide and their mother died of malaria.
"My life was miserable before I had this radio. We were isolated and didn’t have any way to get information. Every day we listen to the news from our region and the world, the weather and also I get the time. I especially like programmes about caring for children and AIDS. I worry about AIDS. Neighbours used to treat us badly, but now they come around to listen and we are friends."
Mukakrimba, 13, head of household and survivor of the genocide, Rwanda
"My most important thing I owned used to be my goat, now it is my radio."

doctrine war haiku poem
no immediate threat
a preventive attack launched
dangerous doctrine
----
there is no question that when an attack is about to be carried out on a nation, that nation has the right to defend itself. it does not need to wait for the attack to be carried out, before it does so.
this principle is grounded on the idea of self-defense.
usually the words used are 'imminent' to describe the coming attack, and 'preempt' to describe the response to the imminent attack.
the bush doctrine however, expands on this. it states that a nation is allowed to carry out an attack on the basis of a threat to its security, which is not imminent.
the words usually used in this case are 'preventive' or a 'preventive war.'
the danger here is that such a preventive war necessarily calls for speculation as to the future threat, and is therefore ripe for abuse.
and as it attempts to dilute the standard required before a nation resorts to armed force, it makes the use of such force by countries around the world, more likely, and the ability of international institutions to prevent such resort to force, that much more difficult.
