Okay. I am seriously going to miss Jim and Pam making faces at each other and to the camera.

Maybe we can finally get rid of that BBC stock image of ‘veils of Muslim world’.

^ I’ve rocked the mohawk, hijab, dupatta, braids, etc. Muslim girls and Muslim women everywhere are all diverse and different !!!

In Central African Republic, the Violence Has Ended But the Emergency Continues

“At the height of the crisis, confrontations, shootings, and abuses occurred daily. Today, tension and violence have subsided and we are now in a particularly delicate phase—a sort of false calm that is both fragile and potentially explosive. Seleka’s two main groups will have to begin negotiations to establish an imminent power-sharing arrangement. There could be friction and clashes within this young coalition," says MSF head of mission in CAR, Serge St-Louis.

As a medical organization, we are very concerned about the unmet needs among a population that was already very vulnerable prior to the Seleka offensive. There are thousands of displaced persons who now live in extremely precarious conditions, without medical care, shelter, food, or water. The health situation is critical in several regions. There are serious shortages of drugs and supplies and there are no health care personnel in the medical facilities. Based on our latest admission figures, the seasonal epidemic of malaria, which is endemic in the CAR, appears to have begun and will surge in the rainy season.

We have up-and-coming singer Ginny Blackmore’s breakout song ‘Bones’ playing on repeat. The songstress filled us in on making it in the music industry »

A beach for everyone: physically handicapped individuals took part in the “Praia para Todos” (Beach for Everyone) project on Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil last week.

The project, run by volunteer physical therapists and students, offers a weekend at two of Rio’s beaches to the physically handicapped, many of whom don’t have the means to reach the beach, let alone swim in the sea.
