Sunday Roundup is not a new rendezvous on the Sama Gazette but it is one on Max Dana’s Blog. Last Sunday she started this new series of posts about what caught her attention during the week. It sounds like our weekly Friday Digest which Max said it inspired her but we have to admit her news roundup is far more detailed than ours. We still have to learn a lot from her, we know that! So we decided to cross post it here. You can also read this post on ...

For four weeks now, a member of the Sama Team has been supporting the EHHR Barefoot Campaign by wearing one pair of shoes every day for a month. First week was all about snow, second week was about freezing and a homeless man, last week was about Christmas and this fourth and last week of the challenge is about sharing Jessica’s experience and wishes for the new year. “I did it, eventually! When I took up the ‘One pair of shoes for ...

And like the first two weeks, it has been a real challenge. I wish the weather was not so cold it would make this challenge much easier, ...

On December 2, a member of the Sama Team decided to support the EHHR Barefoot Campaign and to wear one pair of shoes every day for a month. First week was all about snow, this week it was about freezing (literally) and a homeless man. Jessica shares with you her second week wearing the same pair of shoes. “My first week was difficult because I had to wear my leather boots while it was snowing; I would have given anything for a pair of Moon ...

Last week on December 2, one of us decided to support the EHHR Barefoot Campaign and to wear one pair of shoes every day for a month. A week has past and Jessica now shares with you her first week wearing the same pair of shoes. And we can tell you, it wasn’t that ‘easy’! “Cold. Cold. Cold. Very cold. This week was so cold, my leather boots and my feet suffered a lot! I have never seen so much snow in Paris for years and it was ...

We mentioned it in our first post about the Barefoot Against Poverty campaign: Max Dana was working on something: one of her character will become a barefoot warrior against poverty… This morning she unveiled on her Blog the mysterious character: da-eYe will go barefoot against poverty on December 10 and he invites you to do so and to spread the word! PS: Don’t miss our update on our ‘One pair of shoes for a month’ challenge next ...

Ten days ago we posted about the Every Human Has Rights and CIVICUS new campaign: Barefoot Against Poverty. By going barefoot against poverty, the campaign invites us to take a first step for human rights, thinking about people who barely have food to put on their table, let alone shoes to put on their feet. Simple, effective, easy to understand and easy to do. Back to when all started for us. In 2008, Max Dana supported the Every Human Has Rights ...

International Human Rights day on the 10th of December 2010 marks the 62nd anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Since the Sama Gazette is online and because Max Dana supports Every Human Has Rights (read more about the “60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary” Initiative) we never missed the date and this year, CIVICUS launches a new campaign: Barefoot Against Poverty. About the campaign (more on official website): This year, ...

Today we want to share with you our ‘Favorites Tweets’ @CIVICUSalliance. Last year, Max Dana mentioned their amazing work in her post: Darfur, Congo, Burma: is ‘good will’ enough?, and in May we published an article about CIVICUS 2010 World Assembly in Montreal -Register now! in which we mentioned the connection between Max Dana and CIVICUS: the artwork from the  ‘60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary’ Initiative launched by Max in ...

2009 marks the 61st anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It’s an important event and last year, we had the chance to live the events related to the 60th anniversary; in December 08, Max Dana launched the “60 Signers for the 60th Anniversary” Initiative to support the Every Human Has Rights Campaign (The Elders) on the occasion of the 60th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Neither of us ever heard of ...
