A Viper Called Lucy: A Photo Series by Luis Oliveros
The above image is not a viper, but a vulture, Buitres Leonados (Gyps fulvus). The vulture is part of Louis Olivero's story, when he ventured into the El Cañon del Rio Lobos in Spain. It can be a long hike into the canyon. Perhaps, when you try it, you may even find Lucy, the viper. Click here for Louis' photographs of this enchanted place.
Poverty has emerged this week as a theme in several posts. Not only one but several colleagues were intrigued by the Article "Africa Faces A “Perfect Storm” Due to Under-Investment in Children"; and Paula Clayomb was fascinated - as were we - by a call to "Make extreme wealth extinct". Some side-conversations about poverty, its effects and elimination were going on by email between colleagues. Why not write a very brief opinion piece and invite a discussion on our blog? This was also the idea of Baquer, who sent us the "Famous Quotes About Poverty". We were tempted to add our own quotes - but decided to leave the floor open, particularly to our women colleagues, as it was mainly men who were quoted!
A colleague commented that there was little about Afghanistan in the week before. Well, you know that all our articles are proposed by you - the readers and members of the XUNICEF community. If you find something missing, check our tip of the week and send us the article that you thought was missing. This week, we have Afghanistan covered, in many different ways. Check out Ken Gibbs' account of 100 hours in Afghanistan (in 1988), Nuzhat's learning experience as head of office in Herat, and a news item sent to us by Dev Chopra on the 100 Days since the Taliban Gained Control.
Crises continue or emerge as we speak, and you find some of these covered in our daily blog. Only one click away is the UNICEF Press Center with all the latest press releases by UNICEF. A link to the press center is also included permanently in the right margin of our blog. This is also explained in this week's tip.
Our columnists have been busy, as usual. Fun fact: if everyone of our registered members would submit only one article per year, we would have every week almost 20 articles with your views, opinions or interests! Got soemthing on your mind? Write to us at xunicef.news.views@gmail.com.
