Dedicating to Those Who Fought Against Discrimination – Day 1

To Be A Woman

Having been born a woman
Means placing your body at the service of others
Giving your time to others
Thinking only in terms of others

Having been born a woman
Means that your body is not yours
Your time is not yours
Your thoughts do not belong to you.

You must swim against all currents,
Rebel, fight and scream
Until you can push the boulders apart
And slip out through the crack,
Destroying the draw bridge, tearing down the walls.
Until you have liberated yourself
From the nothingness you will only conquer
With your woman’s voice, your verb.

Beautiful Dream Concert 2011 – Let’s Raise Awareness of North Korean Youths!

 

ABOUT THE CONCERT

There are youth defectors all around you that traveled a long and perilous road to reach a place where their dreams could flourish. Yet, many experience difficulties in adjusting to life here due to differences in culture, disparities in education levels, lack of understanding by fellow professors and students, and other problems regarding their families and their lives. The need for our concern and our help is exigent to insure that their budding hopes and dreams are not rooted out by the cold indifference of society. As a result, we are holding the Beautiful Dream Concert 2011 to raise contributions to aid youth refugees. We would be deeply grateful if you would join us in our effort to protect the bright future of youth defectors.

This August, Citizens’ Alliance for North Korean Human Rights (NKHR) is co-organizing the 5th Annual Beautiful Dream Concert to raise awareness and funds for programs that help North Korean youth as they adjust to South Korean society. Programs include the L4 Soccer Team, Hangyoreh Seasonal School, and Defector College Student Leadership Camp.

Mole Day!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s Mole Day (October 23)! Happy Mole Day to all of you…

From wikipedia…

Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated among chemists on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM,[1] making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro’s number, which is approximately 6.02×10^23, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of substance, one of the seven base SI units.

Mona LisaOn the same date as today, the famous painting by Leonardo Da Vinci, Mona Lisa, was stolen exactly 101 years ago (the year of 1911). The painting was actually taken by Napoleon while fighting against Italy during his rule in France. The thief, Vincenzo Peruggia, was actually the employee of the Louvre Museum and was an Italian patriot who wanted to return the painting back to Italy where it really belongs. For two years, no one really knew where the painting went and thought it was lost forever. When he was finally caught the painting was returned back to the Louvre Museum. However, because the Italian citizens hailed Peruggia as a true patriot, he was only in jail for 6 months.
