DRC Penal Code
In 2006, the penal code was amended to “prevent and severely reprimand infractions relating to sexual violence and to ensure systematic support for the victims of these crimes.” It is 5 years later and the DRC government has not met these standards. According to the Women’s Watch article the new penal code did not protect a 13 year old girl in Kinshasa after being raped. The girl’s father had to pay 60$ to file a police report.

LEARN10: Evoking on Education, Environment and Health
1. WHICH great challenges and social problems should the EVOKE Network tackle next?
Education, Environment Protection and Public Health are the least prioritized sectors in my country (in terms of budget allotment). Yet these three probably have the most long term effects to the nation. Here are some specific issues Evoke could tackle:

“Pretend inferiority and encourage his arrogance.” - Sun Tzu
Although I am not a good comic artist, nor a good user of a storyboear, I have some ideas how EVOKE could proceed.
The setting of the first story should be Embers home. Ghana is under martial law. Over 50% of Ghanas population are infected with a pestilence-like desease. One of its victims is a person dear to Ember - a child, her…

Manila, Philippines
The University of the Philippines Manila National Telehealth Center has been using SMS and Email to connect rural-based physicians since 2006.

GUEM MISSION 9: IMAGINE: What non-doctors can do in time of pandemic.
When a Pandemic strikes sometimes we need everyones participation, not only doctors. We need to spread information and help others reach safety. My idea would be to create a network of people with specific tasks to ensure the safety of people during a pandemic. They would people of who know each other, perhaps neighbors, members of a church, etc. They would be people with specific knowledge of certain areas.
For example:

WHERE in the world should the network try to build up new EVOKE communities?
Almost everywhere (except polar regions, and deserts) because you can improve something everywhere.

Me at the age of 100
When I am 100 years old, the only thing I would like to tell younger generations will be not to panic and hurry so much. And the most important thing: To trust in nature and the ecosystem on their planets! The hardest thing for me to learn in live was letting go. I hope I could teach the younger people a little bit about that very important "laissez-faire" attitude. It really is taking some time to grew something to eat, to raise a tree or to see the fauna grow and you can't quicken that in no… Continue
