Projects Abroad Journalism Volunteers in Ghana Help Refugee Camp Newspaper

Laura Tovey, Assistant Country Manager in Ghana tells us about a new project in which our journalism volunteers are getting involved.
A new partnership has been formed between Projects Abroad and The Vision – a newspaper published for the people of Buduburam Liberian Refugee Camp.
Since the last print edition in October 2005, The Vision has been available online only, at www.thevisiononline.net. But now Projects Abroad has secured funding, the paper goes to print once again. With an initial print-run of 1000 copies, The Vision will become available to those who don’t have regular internet access. All journalism volunteers in Ghana now have the chance to spend one or two days a week working for The Vision.
More than 42,000 people live at Buduburam camp, established in 1990 to accommodate a segment of the Liberian population displaced by the civil war that began in Liberia on December 24th 1989. To serve the needs of this population, The Vision was founded in May 2004 by Jos Garneo Cephas and Semantics King Jr., two journalists from Liberia. With its focus on human rights stories, King Jr. says the purpose of The Vision is to provide “information for the purpose of educating, raising social consciousness and assisting the emerging democratic process in Liberia. This is accomplished by providing a forum for setting the agenda on matters affecting the refugees’ interests, even holding refugee public officials accountable.”
Several Projects Abroad volunteers have already visited the camp and made contacts there to enable them to hunt out the most crucial news stories. The volunteers can also get involved with other stages of production, including editing, proof-reading and providing training for the current staff.
Projects Abroad already funds and works with newspapers in India, Bolivia and Romania. Mircea Samoila, Director of Ghana, edited our magazine in Romania for a year and helped to set up the journalism project in India. Asked why he wanted to get involved with The Vision, Mircea explained, “access to information is a right, and an especially pressing one for the Liberian refugees at the moment. They also have the right for their situation to be presented to their host country [Ghana] in an unbiased and truthful way, unclouded by prejudice and ignorance. Projects Abroad will sponsor the printing of The Vision, so that it can provide these rights to the Liberian refugees in Ghana. The involvement of our own journalism volunteers in the production of the newspaper will ensure that the plight of the Liberian refugees is known outside Ghana as well, and that their story is told also from a Western perspective.”
Already the editorial team is looking to the future. Once The Vision is re-established in print form, King Jr. has plans for expansion. He aims for new standards of professionalism, something volunteers can help with by using their skills and experience to help train a permanent staff. The founders also plan to take the newspaper back to Liberia. Each day more refugees return to their homeland, spurred by the hope for peace brought by the election of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf as President and it is important for The Vision to go with them.
King Jr. said, “My exact plans for the Vision for Liberia include establishing it as the only national paper that would exclusively deal with human rights issues, educating and informing the Liberian citizenry of their basic human rights, which would in turn enable them to protect their rights and those of others. This knowledge will help to easily identify violations of rights not just by government but by other political leaders. That’s my…vision for The Vision.”

If you are like me and love to travel you know it’s important to make sure your luggage is as ready to travel as you are. One of the most important things to consider when buying travel luggage is the color.

You can write on it or use a colored scarf or some other item to make your luggage stand out.

Projects Abroad News From our Thailand Marine Conservation Project
Posted: Aug 08, 2007 |Comments: 0

]]>
With the new project-dedicated website now up and running, I feel very proud and privileged to be writing the very first monthly update of the Projects Abroad Marine Conservation Project here in Ao Nang, Thailand.
The project, which has been running since May 2005, has grown over the year and a half since its conception, into an exciting and constructive project benefiting the environment and local communities within the Andaman Sea and Krabi province.
As this is the first monthly update I feel I should recount the fantastic achievements of the past volunteers before beginning to report on the current position of the project. After reviewing the records of the activities of all the volunteers that have passed through Ao Nang since May 2005 to December 2006, the figures speak for themselves as to how valuable your efforts have been.
Over 18,500 mangrove seeds and saplings were planted, helping to rehabilitate four areas of badly degraded mangrove forest, previously cut down for the land to be turned into shrimp farms. 8 tonnes of rubbish were collected between April and December 2006 from six local beaches and islands, helping to keep these beaches free of dangerous, polluting and unsightly debris, and preventing much of it from being washed back into the sea and causing harm to the marine environment. Between May and December 2006, over 600kg of debris were removed from the sea reducing the stress placed on the delicate reef ecosystems and helping to preserve many marine animals that were at risk of becoming entangled in the lost fishing nets and lines.
As well as these vital practical conservation efforts volunteers also contributed by carrying out many Reef Watch surveys of the local reefs, data which was then given to the Phuket Marine Biological Centre for further analysis on the changing conditions of the reefs within the Andaman Sea.
So, 2006 ended on a high note with the volunteers having an afternoon dive, dinner aboard the Navada and then a night dive on Christmas Eve, and two dives on Christmas Day followed by a big roast feast at a local English man’s restaurant. The volunteers then went on a canoe trip through some mangroves and spectacular caves on the 30th before seeing the New Year in at the always friendly and popular drinking hole – the Umbrella Pub in Ao Nang.
And so, on to 2007 – a new year that I’m sure will see the project progressing further as plans developed towards the end of last year are fully implemented, the monitoring and ecosystem rehabilitation programmes continue, and research into new exciting projects gets underway.
I’ll begin with the reef monitoring programme that we began towards the end of November with the four volunteers that were with us at that time. It is a six-week programme that develops volunteers’ marine observation and survey skills alongside crucial buoyancy control so as not to damage the reefs that we are monitoring. Jason, one of the volunteers that completed the full programme just before leaving the project to go on a live-a-board trip to the Similan Islands was very excited that he was going to being able to know the spectacular creatures that he would be seeing at one of the world’s top ten dive sites. Added to this was the volunteers’ satisfaction of completing surveys that were then entered into our database enabling us in the future to compare the condition of the local reefs and the number of marine organisms found from one year to the next.
Alongside the regular monitoring of the reefs that volunteers have been carrying out, there is also the practical side of conservation that is always required. I’m talking of reef salvage of course. Volunteers have made nine salvage dives during the month of January at seven different sites, predominantly around the local islands, such as Koh See and Koh Ya Wa Sam. The total weight of all the debris removed from the reefs amounts to 30.8 kg, and predominantly consists of fishing nets, lines and fish traps, but some of the other interesting items collected were a snorkel, anchor parts, engine parts, a boat lamp, and several lighters. It is always very satisfying coming up to the surface with a bag full of debris that has the potential to entrap fish and other animals, as well as smothering corals and reducing their ability to grow and reproduce. This work will continue unabated, and hopefully through our efforts the reefs will remain cleaner and safer allowing them and their marine inhabitants to prosper healthily.
Moving away from the diving side of the project and on to the crucial coastal conservation work that volunteers carry out for two days each week, I’ll talk about the much-awaited start of our mangrove research project first. Having planted four sites over the last year and a half with various species of mangrove seed or sapling, all of which have seen a satisfactory average survival rate of over 50%, we have set out sights on achieving even better success rates of survival and quicker growth. Consequently we have planned a research programme to test different methods of cultivating mangrove seeds and transplanting the young saplings. We were very kindly given some land for this purpose in late December by the Krabi Mangrove Department and local community of Ban Thung Prasan where we have helped plant several thousand trees in the second half of 2006.
It is next to an area we have previously planted, across a very rickety bridge that many of past volunteers will remember and over a particularly water-logged and muddy subsidiary canal that can be precariously crossed for the most part of the day. However, when we first got there it was overgrown with weeds taller than any of us, so for the first two mangrove days of 2007 we went out with the sickles and hoes to clear the land in preparation for our research. Then two weeks later, the volunteers went out into the very muddy Klong Jilat with small sickles on long bamboo poles and collected over 600 mature propagules (seeds) of Ceriops tagal and 53 of the larger Rhizophora apiculata propagules. The Ceriops tagal were then planted under the different conditions of shade and sunlight, into bags or straight into the ground, and on higher dryer ground or into a more water-logged area that is inundated daily by seawater.
The last of the usual activities carried out by the volunteers is the cleaning of local beaches. Although we’ve only had two clean-ups so far this year at Ao Nam Mao and Andaman Beach, the five volunteers that have been here this month have collected 173 kg of all sorts of rubbish – plastic predominantly, but also a fair amount of glass and metal – that is continuously washed down the rivers or swept ashore by the waves. They even came across a crab trapped in a metal container which was subsequently freed, and a discarded thermometer. As always, it’s not the nicest of jobs but it is very rewarding to see a nice clean beach at the end of the day, so well done volunteers, both past and present.
So, that’s an account of the fantastic contribution the volunteers are making towards marine and coastal conservation in Krabi. These efforts are much appreciated by all that come into contact with our work and activities, so a great thank you to all of you that have devoted time, sweat and sore, blistered hands for the cause. On a final fun note, I’ll mention the live-a-board that the volunteers went on for three days down south to Koh Haa Yai, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang at the end of January. Unfortunately no manta rays or whale sharks were spotted (except, of course, if you count Justine’s fleeting glimpse of a whale shark’s tail), but everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves having seen spectacular reefs and far greater numbers and diversity of fish and other marine species than we see on an everyday basis in Krabi. A well-deserved trip before another work-filled, yet rewarding month ahead – I look forward to reporting on the progress of all the various activities mentioned above.

EMS & Accounting Project Help!!!?
Here is the basics:
Equipment from last year: 42500
Equipment bought during the year: 10200
Okay, so I added the 2 prices to get the Equipment Non-Current Asset (Balance Sheet), and then I put the new equipment in the expense (Income Statement), and the Total Equities & Liabilities did not add up, when I removed the expense of the new equipment it did. Why??
Oh, mean Assets and Total E&L = the same number, oh & this is Grade 8 work, so It does not deal with the complex factors.

Projects Abroad Journalism Project in Romania Records History in the Making

Journalism volunteers in Romania are continuing to take the Projects Abroad newspaper, The Brasov Visitor, from strength to strength. The first edition appeared a little over two years ago and since then, as well as offering many budding journalists their first opportunity to see their names in print, the paper has provided a fascinating chronicle of changing life in Romania.
In last month’s edition Nick Ingrams, one of the first volunteers to work on the paper in 2004, writes about returning to Brasov two years after his first visit. In an article headed “The Faces and Places Change but the Spirit of Brasov Lives On” he remarks on the assortment of foreign-themed bars and restaurants that have sprung up around town, from Scottish and Irish bars to an Indian restaurant and Chinese takeaway. He worries that this may come at the expense of traditional Romanian cuisine and culture, but is also pleased that these venues serve as meeting places where foreigners and Romanians mix easily and where visitors can integrate into the local social scene.
There is also a report on another modern import; the first ever speed-dating event held in Brasov. Sadly, our volunteer reporter’s repertoire of chat-up lines seem not to have got her very far with the local men folk, although if the initiative continues then future volunteers may have more success…
The latest edition also contains a write-up of the Romanian MTV awards, perfectly highlighting the way Romanian musical tastes are combining with global celebrity brands to create an internationally-recognisable but distinctly Romanian hybrid. Meanwhile, veteran volunteer Barbara Turner takes the time to interview a broad cross-section of the Romanian public, from policemen to pottery-sellers, to find out their views on the current bird-flu scare and their conflicting emotions about working abroad to make ends meet.
Volunteers in recent months have also written eye-opening accounts of life in a country shifting determinedly, but nonetheless awkwardly, from Communism to European integration, providing important reminders that issues such as the plight of orphans and abandoned children still deserve the world’s attention.
In years to come, it will certainly be interesting to look over past issues of our paper and enjoy such a detailed record of Romania’s recent history. Of course, some things never change, and the account of the June volunteers’ social event reassures us all that letting your hair down Romanian-style is as riotous an experience as ever!
The Brasov Visitor is the only English-language publication serving the expatriate community and English-speaking Romanians in and around Brasov. Its monthly editions feature articles on Romanian culture and society, news of events in Brasov, and the work of Projects Abroad’s volunteers. You can read it at www.brasov-visitor.ro
