The purpose of this article is to describe my experience of an International Volunteer Project so that well-intentioned potential volunteers will have some idea of the kind of conditions they may face. Service Civil International (SCI), the organisation that promoted the project describes itself as: “an international non-governmental organisation committed to the promotion of peace and understanding through voluntary activities. These activities consist primarily of 2-3 week long international volunteer placements involving volunteers from all over the world. These projects range from working with marginalised people to ecological, arts and cultural projects, amongst others.” The Irish branch of Service Civil International is called Voluntary Service International (VSI). read full story / add a comment

The Canadian premiere of LUNAFEST, short films by, for, about women happens in Thunder Bay on Thursday, October 5, 2006. This year’s LUNAFEST program features nine short films in collaboration with dynamic local talent: singers, dancers and photographers. Films range from quirky animation to touching documentaries; all the films celebrate women in our local and global communities. Proceeds of the event benefit the Northern Cancer Research Fund and the Breast Cancer Fund, a San Francisco based nonprofit working to identify — and advocate for elimination of — the environmental and other preventable causes of the disease. read full story / add a comment

The McDonagh/Farrell Ógra cumann in UCD kicked off the Ógra freshers’ recruitment campaign this week with great success. By today, the cumann had already recruited over 120 activists, over 50 of whom are women, with 3 more days still to go. The campaign in UCD has been well supported by leadership figures, with Caitriona Ruane, Aengus O’Snodaigh and Mary-Lou McDonald all dropping out to the Belfield campus to lend a hand. read full story / add a comment

Riot police have been firing tear gas at demonstrators in Budapest in the last hours as they tried to storm hungary's state TV company. Storming TV stations is a pretty traditional way of kicking off a revolution. The protesters are angry at the revelation that the current prime minister Ferenc Gyurcsany admits that his party lied to gain office. Being relatively new to democracy the Hungarians find such cleverness a distasteful display of sociopathy. Hungarian radio played a tape of a meeting in which Gyurcsany & other party leaders (socialists by the way) did their Nixon best to pull the wool over the electorates' eyesv last week & since then the "politicisation" index of Hungarians has shot up. They are now very newsworthy and enjoying their second day of attention on slavic language news sites. read full story / add a comment |
