A practical handbook to organizing summer camps for children Submitted By:   faviolag Author Name:  Faviola Graceni & Bella Kovner, for Terre des hommes Foundation Published:  0000-00-00 Website:  http://tdh-childprotection.org/documents/summer-camps---protection-learning-and-fun   Description:   A good summer camp provides an appropriate and safe environment where children feel comfortable, have fun, learn new and interesting things about life and themselves, strengthen their physical and emotional skills to cope with new experiences and challenges, develop skills to express and communicate their thoughts and concerns, and build confidence in themselves by developing new friendships and actively participating in inclusive activities. As such, investing in summer camp programs provides countless benefits to children in general and especially vulnerable children who are at risk of abuse and/or exploitation. This document represents a simple guideline for planning and organizing a summer camp for vulnerable children in need of protection. These guidelines target Child Protection Units, civil society, government agencies and community based organizations, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), schools and other child protection/welfare/rights/education stakeholders who wish to conduct summer camp activities.   [view]   Women's Studies Submitted By:   ilyanachua Author Name:  Erin Williams Published:  2012-11-29 Website:  http://www.learnstuff.com/womens-studies/   Description:   The field of women’s studies aims to decenter the dominant narratives of history that traditionally favor men, and replace the patriarchal viewpoint with the voices of the marginalized, making women the focus of study and the agents of change in history. The growth of the field women’s studies has beyond the critical understanding of women, however. Queer communities, women of color and other political communities and movements, such as Marxism and anti-colonialism, are also included in the curriculum. The politicized nature of women’s studies also seeks to confront present-day sexism, racism and imperialism. By situating the movement not just within the academy, but beyond, women’s studies challenges injustice in the workplace and in the political system. Its very intersectionality, in other words, goes beyond borders, not just in terms of disciplines of study or constructed identities, but beyond nation, making the study of women, gender, and sexuality transnational in scope.   [view]   HACEY's Health Initiative 5 years activity report Submitted By:   thoby1010 Author Name:  HACEY Published:  2013-01-03 Website:   http://t.co/MtJTrrX   Description:   five years of creating a healthy and sustainable society.   [view]   MahaManan : The essential education for true & universal self-developmental Submitted By:   mahavad Author Name:  MahaManas Published:  2012-05-19 Website:  www.mahamanan.webs.com   Description:   We (followers of ‘MahaVad’ & ‘MahaDharma’) think, customary (formal) academic (school – college etc.) education is not sufficient for true development of human beings.
