Delhi Sees Cycle Rally To Create Awareness On Mental Health

Delhi Sees Cycle Rally To Create Awareness On Mental Health

The Cyclothon was followed by an interactive session by Humanitarian Aid Worker, Carl Wilkens. New Delhi: World Mental Health Day is observed every year on October 10. This year, World Health Organization (WHO) is campaigning on the theme ‘Make mental health for all a global priority’. To spread awareness on mental health, a 30 km cycle rally, called Cyclothon, was held in Delhi today. The event…

I’m Not Leaving, by Carl Wilkens.

“While the stories written here happened during the genocide, this is not another book about genocide. It is about choices people made, actions people took, courage people showed, and sacrifices people gave in the face of genocide.”

Day 41: I’m Not Leaving

Another book on a topic related to, but not overlapping, my area of expertise, so I was both intrigued (atrocity! genocide! first-person account!) and slightly hesitant (what if my lack of knowledge means I don’t *get* it like I should? Also, do I have to feel weird about missionaries?). But, as is often the case when I pick up a book about atrocity and genocide at the used book store, this one came home with me.

When figures involving the loss of life begin to enter into the thousands and hundreds of thousands, they quickly become cold statistics that often blind us more than they inform us. But when we look at individual lives through stories, we find ourselves informed in ways that will stay with us and potentially make us more whole, more human.

And it’s true (I mean, it’s always been true, but it’s doubly true in Wilkens’ book). As is the way of my people, I will now go forth and fill in the knowledge gaps that this book has exposed. While I was reading this, it was too easy to get charmed by the people - not just those about whom Wilkens writes, but also Wilkens himself (I mean, he footnotes himself to wonder if describing a group of looters as a “swarm of locusts” is to dehumanize and otherize them and I kind of love him for that). Made for a compelling read, but also shifted the focus nearly entirely from the danger of the situation - which is partially Wilkens’ stated point, but I think I fell too far on that side. Maybe, when reading something not quite so personalized, I can fall back to the people to whom Wikens introduces use and use that as a personal “in” to this atrocity.

Hey so I'm a self-taught witch who practices independently and I was hoping to learn a little bit from others as well. Do you have any books/resources/people you recommend looking into?

Hi there!

I'm a self-taught witch as well and I'm still at the beginning of my journey, at the moment I'm yet to finish the big blue book Buckland's Complete Book of Witchcraft of which I'm also sharing the lessons (you can find tose posts in my archive here) so for now I can only really recommend that one, but I'm marking down all the recommendend supplementary redings at the end of every lesson if you wanna check them out!

I'm also reading a very interesting and complete book about tarot called Holistic Tarot which i really recommend, it's a bit expensive maybe but it's totally worth it

Other than that I can write down here the list of recommended reading at the end of the blue book (with extra books other than the ones already listed at the end of every lesson), I can't recommend those personally (even if I did buy some of them but I still have to read them) but I think they're worth a shot if you'd like to know more, I'll add the other two I mentioned above in the list, in any case if you find other books online read carefully all the reviews cause many books are not serious about this topic

Also I'm not sure but I think these books below are all from white people and mainly about white cultures (and most of them are very old), so If you (or anyone else) have some recommendations about other cultures' book about witchcraft or ancient traditions I'd be glad to know more about that too!

As for people and other resources, I follow some witches on Twitter that shares interesting stuff, it would be too long to link all of their profiles so I can give you directly the list of people I follow here

I hope you'll find this helpful~

Lately I've been thinking that God's plan of protection doesn't revolve exclusively around miraculous interventions on his part. Perhaps his plan of protection includes a component, a potentially huge component, that involves life choices, a philosophy of choices that might be called "other-focused" choices. A life philosophy that says, I will experience authentic security when I choose to care for others first instead of expecting to be cared for.

(7/7)  “While I was being interviewed on the radio, Carl Wilkens was attempting an impossible mission.  He’d gone to military headquarters, and begged the minister to let us transport children out of the orphanage.   He wanted to move them to a protected church near the UN Mission.  His request was denied because the children were Tutsi.  But then a miracle happened.  As he was leaving the building, the Prime Minister herself arrived for a meeting.  Carl ran up to her and began to plead for the children.  She told him to slow down and explain himself clearly.  Then not only did she grant him permission, but she offered two buses for the transportation.  Carl called me and told me to wait at the church.  He said he would bring the children to me.  I thought it was a suicide mission.  There were four hundred people hiding in the orphanage.  Many of them were malnourished and looked like fugitives.  It was clear they had been hiding out for months.  Why would the killers allow them to escape on buses?  But it was our only chance, so I came to the church and waited.  Carl told me the buses would arrive at 6 PM.  But there was no sign of them by 8 PM.  It had gotten completely dark.  I was losing hope.  But suddenly I heard people screaming: ‘Tutsis!  Tutsis!  Tutsis!’  The buses came around the curve, and pedestrians were chasing behind them.  Inside I could see five people piled into every seat.  The kids were hanging out the window, screaming: ‘Papa! Papa! Papa!’  Finally all of us were out of danger.  We sheltered in the church until the genocide was over, but it didn’t take long.  Three days later the capital was liberated.  And all of the children had survived.” (Kigali, Rwanda) --------------------------------------------- Nearly 5,000 people have donated to our fundraiser to help Damas as he continues to help underprivileged and traumatized children.  We just hit our goal.  Thanks so much everybody, Damas is thrilled.  Setting aside the dollar amount, it would be amazing if we could double the amount of donors.  From this point on, I’ll add an additional $1 from the HONY Patreon to every donation given.  Small amounts can have outsized impacts in developing countries.  So even if it’s only a few dollars, please consider being counted: https://bit.ly/2OUBCSA

I mean (& this is coming from a swifite btw) well I still do think karlie does alot more than taylor and is very willing to admit when she's wrong and is out there working with alot of people and going to marches and shit. I remember in 2020 I literally couldn't stand taylor for going all silent even tho 3 months before that homegirl was giving interviews about her political awakening. like I legit was disappointed and I hated how quickly the Fandom forgave her after she posted the black square

No I hear you.

I just think they’re all comparable. And I don’t mean that in a bad way like there are VERY few white people who make me go “wow I admire what you’ve done on race” and it’s like idk Ruth First and Joe Slovo, Carl Wilkens, Jane Elliott maybe, of celebs like I guess Betty White with what she did with the tap dancer and stuff like?? It’s not me being harsh I just think you need to be EXCEPTIONAL to be praised on race as a white person and like all these women are just… nice.

13 November 2019 | Carl Wikens, the former country director of ADRA Rwanda, was presented with a abarinzi b’Igihango (protectors of friendship pact) medal by the president of the country on October 25, 2019. According to Rwandan news site KT Press, the award, presented by President Paul Kagame recognizes “persons who displayed outstanding acts of courage and humanity by protecting or rescuing thousands of Rwandans during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, as well as promoting unity and reconciliation among Rwandans in its aftermath." Arriving in Rwanda in 1990, Wilkens was the only American who stayed in the country during the Rwandan genocide in 1994. The former ADRA country director told KT Press that, at the time of the genocide, he decided to stay for two individuals. “The two people were a Rwandan housemaid and a watchman whom we had lived together for 4 years. I thought if I left, they would be killed. This is why I decided to stay with them,” said Wilkens. The aid worker brought food, water and medicine to groups of orphans in the country during the genocide. His experiences are shared in the book, I’m Not Leaving.

Our most desperate problem was water. The government had cut off our supply. And we were packed so densely that the heat was unbearable. Whenever we brought out jugs of water, one hundred liters would be consumed in less than a minute. After two weeks we’d run out completely. Then one morning I saw a car coming up the road. It had the markings of the Adventist Church. Out stepped a white man with a bulletproof vest. His name was Carl Wilkens. And he was the only American who had remained behind in Rwanda. ‘I heard about you,’ he said. ‘And I’ve come to encourage you.’ I took him around the property. I showed him all the people I was hiding. He could see that I was a nervous wreck. So he began to pray with me. He told me: ‘There is no way a man can survive this. But God will help us through.’ I told Carl that we desperately needed water. Without water we could not even cook our food. So he promised me that he would try to help. After that Carl would drive to the orphanage each week. He’d bring water and milk for the kids. And to this day, I don’t understand where he got it. All of the stores were closed. Carl was the only thing keeping us alive. Every week I was convinced that he would be killed on the journey. The roads were so dangerous. People would shoot out his tires. But every week he showed up with more water.” (Kigali, Rwanda)

Joint Appeal to the UN Security Council to Act on Myanmar’s Rohingya Crisis

In advance of the United Nations Security Council’s December 12 meeting on the situation in Myanmar, we, a global coalition of 81 human rights, faith-based and humanitarian organizations, urgently call on the Council to take immediate action to address the campaign of ethnic cleansing and mass atrocity crimes, including crimes against humanity, committed against the ethnic Rohingya population by Myanmar’s security forces in northern Rakhine State, as well as the continuing restrictions on humanitarian assistance throughout the state since October 2016.

Words of condemnation by the UN, including the Security Council's Presidential Statement on November 6 and the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee’s adoption of a resolution on Myanmar, have not resulted in Myanmar’s government ending its abuses or holding those responsible to account. It is time for prompt, concerted and effective international action.

Myanmar authorities are still heavily restricting access to northern Rakhine State for most international humanitarian organizations, human rights monitors, and independent media. Most of Myanmar’s Rohingya population, estimated at more than one million, have been forced to flee to Bangladesh as refugees. Despite a bilateral agreement between Myanmar and Bangladesh, there are insufficient guarantees that return at this time can be informed, safe and voluntary, that requirements for documentation of prior residence will not be used as a pretext to reject legitimate returns, that temporary holding centers will not become semi-permanent internment camps and that returnees will have the same rights of movement, access to livelihoods and health and education services as other residents of Rakhine State. The UN Fact- Finding Mission, which is tasked with preparing a report on abuses nationwide, has thus far been prevented from gaining access to the country.

Over 646,000 Rohingya have been made refugees since August 25, when Myanmar security forces launched “clearance operations” in response to armed attacks on security posts by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army (ARSA). Refugee testimonies provide overwhelming evidence of Myanmar military-led atrocities during these operations, and a similar campaign that had begun in October 2016. The crimes against humanity perpetrated against the Rohingya include massacres and other unlawful killings, widespread rape and other sexual

violence, looting, deportation and mass arson of hundreds of Rohingya villages. The violence also displaced tens of thousands of people from other ethnic minorities. Rohingya who remain in Myanmar continue to face severe food insecurity and threats in addition to systematic violations of their rights to a nationality, freedom of movement, and access to healthcare, education, and livelihood opportunities.

The Myanmar government has the primary responsibility to protect its diverse population without discrimination and regardless of ethnicity, religion or citizenship status. But, the civilian and military leadership of Myanmar, including the military’s Commander-in-Chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, refuse to even acknowledge the serious human rights violations against the Rohingya and continue to deny any wrongdoing by state security forces in Rakhine State while ignoring decades of institutionalized discrimination against the Rohingya community.

We urge the Security Council to immediately impose an arms embargo against Myanmar’s military that covers the direct and indirect supply, sale or transfer, including transit and trans-shipment of all weapons, munitions, and other military and security equipment, as well as the provision of training and other military and security assistance. The Security Council should also place targeted sanctions on senior officers responsible for crimes against humanity or other serious human rights violations. Financial sanctions should target senior officers who ordered criminal acts or are liable as a matter of command responsibility. The Security Council should explore all avenues for justice and accountability, including through international courts.

If the pledge to “never again” allow atrocities means anything, the Security Council cannot delay action any longer.

Hardees/ Carls Jr. Ad

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=2&v=i7H3DKMH1ms

In chapter 10, we discussed the benefits of direct marketing. Direct marketing is an interactive system of marketing, which uses one or more advertising media to affect a measurable response and/or transaction at any location. When I first read about this promotion on Adweek, the old commercials were compared to the new marketing strategy they are going for.

In this advertisement, Hardees/ Carls Jr. looks to go in a new direction with their marketing efforts. Notorious for getting their audience’s attention with exposed skin and “all American burgers”, they are now focusing more on the product. With the new product slogan “Pioneers of the great American Burger”, they are targeting their brand loyal customers that come to their business specifically for a great quality burger. Following this new advertisement, they are making upgrades to the packaging and exterior of their products, to give the company a better image.

[odekirk]

During the first week of the genocide, thousands of people fled to UNAMIR [United Nations Assistance Mission in Rwanda] camps for protection. When the UNAMIR forces withdrew, the Interahamwe closed in on all of those innocent families conveniently gathered in well-marked locations around Kigali and the rest of the country. Instead of needing to go from house to house searching in closets, under beds, in the ceilings, or out in the banana plantations for many of the Tutsi and moderate Hutu families, the Interahamwe need only go from UNAMIR camp to UNAMIR camp. Their killing was made so much easier, and the betrayed families of Rwanda were slaughtered right where UNAMIR, under very clear orders, had abandoned them.
