COME PARTICIPATE IN OUR FIRST PYRAMID OF SHOES! Saturday, September 8, 2007

Author: Christina - Published 2007-09-01 17:56 - (2103 Reads)

COME PARTICIPATE IN OUR FIRST PYRAMID OF SHOES!

Since1995, French and European citizens have gathered annually in over 40 cities in order to create a Pyramid of shoes as a sign of protest against the use of antipersonnel landmines and cluster munitions. It is also a symbolic expression of solidarity with all the victims of these weapons and an opportunity to ask the public to sign a petition for the establishment of an international treaty against the use of cluster munitions.

Get involved right now by becoming a volunteer or by sponsoring the event, but most of all, do not forget to bring lots of shoes! The shoes will be recuperated by Certex, a non-profit organization whose mission is both environmental (recuperation/recycling of clothing sent to low income countries) and social (over 60% of its employees are people with disabilities).

THE LOST I

A novel set in modern-day Lebanon

This is stunning writing. It is powerful and emotional, really and truly gripping stuff. It offers a real insight into how people cope in such terrible conditions and what it must be like to have to endure them. The tension is palpable and for that alone the author is to be commended. WN-England
