20 June, 2003 marks the third World Refugee Day. This day is celebrated all around the world with events such as conferences, stand up comedies, concerts and memorial services. The day originally marked Africa Refugee Day.
On 4 December 2000, the General Assembly noted that 2001 marked the fiftieth anniversary of the 1951 Convention relating to the Status of Refugees, and that the Organization of African Unity (OAU) had agreed to have International Refugee Day coincide with Africa Refugee Day on 20 June. It, therefore, decided that, as from 2001, 20 June would be celebrated as World Refugee Day (resolution 55/76). (full text).

about: The GDRC is an attempt to consolidate disparate issues, themes and topics into one umbrella to highlight their interconnectedness and interdisciplinary nature. With the focus being more on knowledge transfer and information dissemination, GDRC focuses on the micro scale – at the level of the man-on-the-street, where most of the everyday decisions are taken. GDRC aims at bringing together the disparate resources on a three pronged approach:

• Research and development at the global level,
• Education and Training at the regional level,
• Policy and programme development at the local level.

Mme Grâce Dotou-Aboh nous a chaleureusement accueillies dans le local de son ONG. « Qui dit mieux ? », une troupe de théâtre forum, existe depuis 1980. Aucune troupe de théâtre de la capitale ne fonctionnait bien longtemps : les femmes, une fois mariées, ne pouvaient plus jouer des rôles qui risquaient d’être jugés trop intimes avec des hommes étrangers. Grâce a donc eu l’idée de créer une troupe exclusivement féminine, où les femmes se déguiseraient en hommes sans s’attirer le mécontentement de leurs maris et où tous les rôles pourraient donc être joués. Alors, « qui dit mieux ? », nous demande la présidente amusée. Cette troupe de théâtre exclusivement féminine n’était pas seulement une astuce pour durer, mais également un outil pour mener des sensibilisations dans tout le Bénin. Pendant des années, alors qu’elle était encore institutrice, Mme Dotou a ainsi utilisé l’expression théâtrale pour faire passer des messages aux populations les plus démunies. Aujourd’hui encore, la troupe de « Qui dit mieux ? » monte des pièces de théâtre et participe à des événements ponctuels en collaboration avec d’autres organisations de développement. Mais ce n’est plus sa principale activité. (texte entier).

About the World Forum of alternatives WFA; The World Forum for Alternatives (WFA) is an international network of research centres and militant intellectuals from the South and the North. Created in 1997 it aims at supporting the convergence process of the social movements, as well as to the development alternatives that are democratic, pluralistic and sustainable, as opposed to neoliberal globalization and all the various forms of discrimination and domination. The WFA considers that the combined action of citizen movements, their demands and the socio-economic and political alternatives that they represent constitute the foundations of a more genuine democracy of the world system and the embryo of a just and sustainable model of society. The WFA sees its own actions as contributing to the processes of the world and regional social forums and the social and political dynamics that they generate. (full text).

… die Stiftung zur Förderung des evolutionären Humanismus.

Wir leben in einer Zeit der Ungleichzeitigkeit: Während wir technologisch im 21. Jahrhundert stehen, sind unsere Weltbilder mehrheitlich noch von Jahrtausende alten Legenden geprägt. Diese Kombination von höchstem technischen Know-how und naivstem Kinderglauben könnte auf Dauer fatale Konsequenzen für unsere Spezies haben. Wir verhalten uns wie Fünfjährige, denen die Verantwortung über einen Jumbojet übertragen wurde.

Die Giordano Bruno Stiftung (Stiftung zur Förderung des evolutionären Humanismus) sammelt neuste Erkenntnisse der Geistes-, Sozial- und Naturwissenschaften, um ihre Bedeutung für das humanistische Anliegen eines « friedlichen und gleichberechtigten Zusammenlebens der Menschen im Diesseits » herauszuarbeiten. Ziel der Stiftung ist es, die Grundzüge eines naturalistischen Weltbildes sowie einer säkularen, evolutionär-humanistischen Ethik/Politik zu entwickeln und einer interessierten Öffentlichkeit zugänglich zu machen.

about: The word African means that the church was organized by people of African descent and heritage. It does not mean that the church was founded in Africa, or that it was for persons of African descent only.

The church’s roots are of the family of Methodist churches. Methodism provides an orderly system of rules and regulations and places emphasis on a plain and simple gospel.

Episcopal refers to the form of government under which the church operates. The chief executive and administrative officers of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination are the Bishops of the church.

About (the english Homepage): From the 23rd to the 26th of February of 1998, grassroots movements of all continents met in Geneva to launch a worldwide coordination network of resistance to the global market, a new alliance of struggle and solidarity called Peoples’ Global Action against ‘free’ trade and the WTO PGA. That was the birth of this global tool for communication and coordination for all those who fight the destruction of humanity and the planet by capitalism and build local alternatives to globalisation.

The defining documents of the PGA are its five hallmarks, its organisational principles and its manifesto.

At the conference in Bangalore, India in August 1999 the hallmarks
and the organisational principles were amended to reflect discussions about clarifying differences to right-wing anti-globalizers. A new second hallmark was added. The Hallmarks were changed at the conference in Cochabamba 2001.

Prezentare generala: Fundatia „Pro Homini” a fost infiintata in anul 1997 din dorinta de a sprijini acel segment al populatiei aproape uitat de societate: batranii. Pe parcursul celor 7 ani de activitate, fundatia a sprijinit si familii cu multi copii, aflate in situatie de risc social si copii bolnavi care au necesitat tratamente costisitoare, precum si elevi merituosi care au obtinut locuri fruntase la olimpiadele nationale.

Pentru bunele rezultate obtinute in plan social, Fundatia „Pro Homini” a primit din partea Primariei Municipiului Braila, in luna decembrie 2003, diploma si medalie de excelenta. In vederea strangerii de fonduri fundatia organizeaza de doua ori pe an baluri de binefacere si tombole cu obiecte confectionate in Centrul de Zi.

Pentru oamenii varstnici au fost editate pana in prezent doua numere ale publicatiei „Pro Homine” care reflecta preocuparile oamenilor de varsta a treia. Majoritatea articolelor sunt scrise de pensionari.
