miniconcert for hope

Featuring: 

Circle of Life, by Elton John 

Human Touch, by Jimmy Cliff 

From the day we arrive on the planet

And, blinking, step into the sun

There's more to see than can ever be seen

More to do than can ever be done

There's far too much to take in here

More to find than can ever be found

But the sun rolling high

Through the sapphire sky

Keeps great and small on the endless round

It's the circle of life

And it moves us all

Through despair and hope

Through faith and love

'Til we find our place

On the path unwinding

In the circle

The circle of life

Stories from our backyard, but sometimes it takes a foreigner to report them:

The Indian village where child sexual exploitation is the norm - Girls in Sagar Gram, which lies next to a highway, are groomed for this life virtually from birth.

What would make a woman go back to Boko Haram? 

reporter-Azadeh Moaveni

Zahra and Amina say that when they were with the militants, life was harsh and uncertain, but they had enough to eat. As voluntary wives of fighters, they were protected from sexual predation. They attended religion classes, the first formal schooling many had ever received, and their children went to school, learning literacy and religion. There were courts where women could report abusive husbands. In contrast, in their now emancipated lives in the camp, they often go hungry. There is little chance to work to buy more food, and shortages have contributed to sexual exploitation by the security forces who guard them. “Most Boko Haram women regret coming here, because life is just so hard,” says Amina.

“So I want all the girls watching here, now, to know that a new day is on the horizon! And when that new day finally dawns, it will be because of a lot of magnificent women, many of whom are right here in this room tonight, and some pretty phenomenal men, fighting hard to make sure that they become the leaders who take us to the time when nobody ever has to say 'Me too' again.”—@oprah.

Great Heart Movie Debate: Lion OR The Queen Of Katwe

First, you have to watch both.  You will cry a lot, I warn you. 

LION
 Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home and family. Saroo must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home. - Reviews


The Queen Of Katwe 
"Queen of Katwe" is the colorful true story of a young girl selling corn on the streets of rural Uganda whose world rapidly changes when she is introduced to the game of chess, and, as a result of the support she receives from her family and community, is instilled with the confidence and determination she needs to pursue her dream of becoming an international chess champion. - Reviews

How the situation in the United States of America could become nasty like today's South Africa

 But seriously, the fate of America now lies in the hands of the electors.

Congratulations to Hillary Rodham Clinton - she won the popular vote and we really wish she won the electoral college too

The US Presidential election of November 8, 2016 saw over 100 million American votes and the following result - Hillary Clinton did not win the election.

Thinking about my daughter right now. No little girl will ever again have to wonder whether she, too, can be president. pic.twitter.com/QAJbxQj05L

— Senator Tim Kaine (@timkaine) November 9, 2016

Although Hillary received slightly more votes than the other major candidate, the winner is decided by a system of lump-sum state-by-state voting called the electoral college system.

This team has so much to be proud of. Whatever happens tonight, thank you for everything. pic.twitter.com/x13iWOzILL

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 9, 2016

So some guy named Donald Trump won. You may have heard of him.

"This is not the outcome we wanted. I’m sorry we did not win this election for the values we share and the vision we hold for our country."

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 9, 2016

It is traumatic and difficult to cope with the idea that temporarily, incompetence beat out competence, insanity prevailed over sanity, and small-hearted clannishness defeated the progress towards a united colours of America...

"To Barack and Michelle Obama, our country owes you an enormous debt of gratitude. We thank you for your graceful, determined leadership.”

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 9, 2016

"This loss hurts. But please never stop believing that fighting for what’s right is worth it." —Hillary

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 9, 2016

But here are words to encourage us:


Nov 9, 2016: Hillary Clinton delivered a message of both disappointment and hope during her concession speech for the 2016 presidential race.

Scripture tells us: Let us not grow weary in doing good, for in due season, we shall reap, if we do not lose heart. pic.twitter.com/snXfdLgZq8

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) November 9, 2016

"To all the little girls watching...never doubt that you are valuable and powerful & deserving of every chance & opportunity in the world."

I love this one - Reason My Matter - and all his songs.


See? Nigerian men are GOOD.

He's not a big name yet, and he will probably change monikers again, but I assure you his work is golden. I've been a lover of the six-track "Free Spirit" since last year.

I completely love track 3 - Move, e mu jo jo, ehn e re'di yen.
