Russia and being Human...Those words, still so fresh in my mind!

"There are no rules. Just follow the principles of being human," he said. And, suddenly, I realised why this centre - a Government Run Drug Rehabilitation Centre in the snowy forest of Siberia, Russia - was so successful. "Just follow the principles of being human".I often marvel on how our society looks for the complicated. We seem to relish complexity over simplicity and in people we look for "expertise" over real-life experience. Furthermore, all too often, for knowledge to be widely…See More

My dream:
To be SALTY, not only in my work in Reproductive Health, but in the way I interact with others - my family, my friends, even people on the bus!
My concern:
That development is losing its soul. I worry that development workers often forget the real reasons we do what we do. We get lost in the paperwork, the beauracracy and the theory.

On the other hand, a good attitude is contagious. Hopefully, if I approach life and work in a SALTY way, others will follow!
I'm proud of:
Winning the US "Frisco Boxing Championships" in 2004 as the women's lightweight champion!
What I think of Community Life Competence:
I am still learning, but I like it so far!
What do I want to do to spread Community Life Competence?
Facilitate Community Life Competence in my community, Join a facilitation team, Share about Community Life Competence with potential partners; friends; colleagues, I want to apply SALT in my own life (S: Stimulate; Support; A: Appreciate; L: Listen; Learn; Link; T: Transfer; Team), I want to share my experience on my blog in Ning, Other
The small secretariat of the Constellation also needs help. Do you want to help? I want to:
Writing skills, Share Community Life Competence with potential partners, online facilitation, Other
If you choose other, please specify
Strategy development, systems development

Yesterday I met with Sirinate, a constellation member with a long history of applying ACP and CLCP in many different contexts. We met in the beautiful city of Bandung, where we were joined by Wiwin. Our meeting was to discuss the facilitation of some upcoming events for a partnership the Constellation has entered into with World Fish Centre, around livelihoods and aquatic ecosystems. But, for me, the meeting was much more than…

Goodbye conflict, welcome development!

I want to share with you this article, which has inspired me today. It is about the International Dialogue for Peacebuilding and Statebuilding, which is a series of multi-stakeholder meetings led by the g7+ (not to be confused with the G7), a group of fragile countries (including Liberia, South Sudan, DRC, Afghanistan and others).  This group are advocating for peacebuilding and statebuilding to be placed at the forefront of international development.
