Nako Research and Preservation Project
http://athene.geo.univie.ac.at/project/nako
Kinnaur is one of twelve administrative districts of Himachal Pradesh, India. The district is itself divided into three administrative areas – Pooh, Kalpa, and Nichar – and has five Tehsils or counties. The administrative headquarter for Kinnaur district is at Reckong Peo. Due to the network of motorable roads all the essential facilities are available. According to ancient Hindu texts Kinners are halfway between humans and gods. From here Sangla valley, and district headquarters Recong Peo, Kalpa, Kinnaur Kailash, considered to be the abode of Lord Shiva, can be viewed. Read More: > HERE <
While the 10th and 13th centuries, the Western Himalayan region developed a refined and complex artistic culture under Western Tibetan Buddhist patronage. Some of this tradition’s most striking examples are found in the seven temples of Nako village, Upper Kinnaur, in the province of Himachal Pradesh, India. These temples are not only witness to the long history of this region, but also lie at the heart of the communitity’s religious life, in which even today a Tibetan form of Buddhism flourishes.
These temples are now endangered due to the structural fragility of their architecture, and by the infiltration of rain and melt water. For these reasons amongst others, a major preservation program was necessary, which primarily involved large scale stabilization work, as well as cleaning and conservation of the unique wall- and ceiling paintings. Due to the large scope of the project, for the time being this work has been accomplished exclusively for the Lhakhang Gongma (Upper Temple), while work has now also begun on the Lotsawa Lhakhang (Translator’s Temple).
Some of the major objectives of the NRPP have been (a) providing technical expertise and modern technology to the Nako community, (b) examining and analysing indigenous building techniques and traditional artistic handicrafts, which have contributed to the continued existence of these exquisite monuments, and (c) merging these activities with the ongoing preservation work, while taking into account local economic and technological resources. Therefore, the NRPP is to be considered a model for the future conservation and preservation of this region’s rich cultural heritage. The villagers of Nako have greatly supported and contributed to the efforts and aims of the NRPP, and the ongoing process of consultation between the NRPP, the Buddhist Association and the Nako Village Council remains central to the preservation work.
In order to establish the proper methods and priorities of the preservation process, information needs to be gathered and brought together from technical, social, economical, as well as from historical sources and, in the case of Nako, this information is neither readily available nor easily accessible. Therefore, the research conducted by the NRPP team in Vienna over the last 15 years includes scholars of art history, Tibetan language, religious history, Buddhist philosophy and cultural anthropology, in addition to architects and painting experts. Each of these disciplines provides a distinct methodology for understanding the fragmentary evidence, and their findings serve as the outset for an in-depth study and research of this region’s cultural heritage and it’s preservation.

Mother´s Day- Flowers for Human Rights
Green Shopping Guide Österreich: http://bewusstkaufen.at
NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC – GREEN GUIDE
Lotus Flower – Symbol of Purity and Great Beauty!
The modern Mother’s Day is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in May, though also in March, as a day to honor mothers and motherhood. In the United States it was nationally recognized as a holiday in 1914 after a campaign by Anna Jarvis. In some countries, it follows the old traditions of Mothering Sunday. Read More: > HERE <
Mother’s Day (U.S.) is an annual holiday that recognizes mothers, motherhood and maternal bonds in general, as well the positive contributions that they make to society. In the United States, it is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. Read More: > HERE <
Flowers around the globe – Are you aware that the cut flower you buy in the supermarket or at your florist might have travelled thousands of kilometres to please you at home or in the office? Indeed, an increasing share of flowers which are sold in Europe is grown in countries close to the equator.
Do you wonder why? Around the equator conditions for growing flowers are more favourable than in Europe. Those countries don’t have cold winters, they constantly have 12 hours daylight and they have fertile soil. Labour is cheap and, labour and environmental laws are not as strict as in Europe, or at least, they are not enforced.
Are you concerned about the latter? We, too, are. That’s why we have started a campaign to raise awareness on labour rights, workers‘ health, and environmental protection in the flower industry. Join us and be part of the change.
The campaign „Fair Flowers for Human Rights“ – Non-governmental organisations from Austria, Belgium, Germany, and Czech Republic have jointly started a campaign to raise awareness on human rights violations and environmental pollution by the global flower industry. The campaign is supported by the Zimbabwean Non-Governmental Organisation Kunzwana and the Uganda Workers‘ Education Association.
The campaign targets consumers, flower traders and local authorities and it aims at changing their consumption and purchasing patterns towards ensuring that flowers are produced in socially and environmentally sound conditions.
As means to reach our targets we will produce information material, organise exhibitions and speakers‘ tours of flower workers, produce a movie, conduct workshops and lobby politicians. We will be present at various public events. You can read more on the specific actions in each country if you click on the logos of the campaign partners below. http://www.flowers-for-human-dignity.org/09/index.php/the-campaign.html
Fair trade roses for Mother´s Day & Human Rights
Da die heimische Schnittblumenproduktion die Nachfrage am österreichischen Markt nicht befriedigen kann, werden fast zwei Drittel der in Österreich verkauften Blumen aus Ländern des Südens importiert. Jährlich sind das zum Beispiel gut 80 Millionen Rosen. Auf den Blumenfarmen in Kenia, Uganda, Simbabwe, Ecuador und Kolumbien arbeiten zum Großteil Frauen, vielfach unter katastrophalen Arbeitsbedingungen.
Besonders vor dem Muttertag und den Valentinstag leisten sie Überstunden bis spät in die Nacht, oft werden diese nicht oder nicht vollständig bezahlt. Die Frauen berichten von gesundheitlichen Schäden aufgrund der Arbeit mit hoch giftigen Pestiziden und mangelndem Arbeitsschutz, auf manchen Farmen auch von sexueller Belästigung.
„Für die Frauen bedeutet die Arbeit auf den Blumenfarmen ein wichtiges Einkommen. Besonders in Lateinamerika arbeiten viele allein erziehende Mütter auf den Farmen. Sie benötigen dringend einen angemessenen Lohn, um sich und ihre Kinder adäquat ernähren zu können.“, berichtet Sophie Veßel, Koordinatorin der Kampagne „ Fair Flowers – mit Blumen für Menschenrechte “ bei der Menschenrechtsorganisation FIAN Österreich.
FIAN setzt sich seit vielen Jahren für die Rechte der ArbeiterInnen auf Schnittblumenfarmen weltweit ein. In Betrieben, die mit dem Gütesiegel Flower Label Program (FLP) zertifiziert wurden, werden Arbeits- und Menschenrechte eingehalten. Die Arbeitszeiten sind in langfristigen Verträgen geregelt, Überstunden werden angemessen bezahlt. Entsprechende Kleidung schützt die ArbeiterInnen vor den Chemikalien. Hoch giftige Pestizide dürfen überhaupt nicht eingesetzt werden. Für Frauen ist insbesondere wichtig, dass ihnen bezahlter Mutterschutzurlaub gewährt wird, sie während der Schwangerschaft geschont werden und sexuelle Belästigung nicht geduldet wird.
Daher empfehlen FIAN und die Volkshilfe Österreich, beim Blumenkauf zu Blumen der Gütesiegel Flower Label Program (FLP) und FAIRTRADE zu greifen. „Blumen, die unter fairen Arbeitsbedingungen produziert wurden, sind ein besonders sinnvolles Geschenk. Denn sie unterstützen den Kampf gegen Ausbeutung von ArbeiterInnen.“, meint Josef Weidenholzer, Präsident der Volkshilfe Österreich. „Mit dem Kauf solcher Blumen können Sie doppelte Freude schenken. Der eigenen Mutter und der Blumenarbeiterin.“ Dass die Blumen nicht mit hoch giftigen Pestizid en belastet sind, trägt sicher zusätzlich zur Freude der Beschenkten bei!
FLP-Blumen verschiedener Sorten finden Sie im ausgewählten österreichischen Fachhandel, FAIRTRADE-Rosen in Supermärkten und im Fachhandel.

VAPUS – 100 % BIOLOGISCHE YOGAWEAR
> VAPUS BIOLOGISCHE YOGABEKLEIDUNG <
>SWAMI SHUDDANANDA FOUNDATION <
Das Wort „VAPUS“ kommt aus der alten Indo / germanischen Sprache Sanskrit und bedeutet soviel wie „schöner Körper – schöne Form“.
Wir sind ein junges Textillabel, gemacht von Yogis für Menschen die umdenken.
Die Bekleidung ist unserer Haut am nächsten und deshalb sollte auch am meisten Wert darauf gelegt werden woher diese kommt.
Alle unsere Produkte werden mit Sorgfalt, Liebe und unter Fairtrade aus 100% biologischen Materialien hergestellt und von der „Control Union“ unter GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) zertifiziert. Viele Modemarken versuchen heute dem Trend der Zeit zu entsprechen und bieten nun Produkte aus Öko-Stoffen an, wobei der Stoff aber immer noch in herkömmlicher Weise weiter verarbeitet wird und dadurch keine biologische Zertifizierung gegeben ist.
Unsere Stofffärbungen sind umweltfreundlich, AZO-Farbstoff und Schwermetall frei. Unsere Drucke sind auf Wasserbasis, für die Stickereien und das Nähgarn verwenden wir nur 100% biologisches Garn. Unsere Knöpfe waren früher Kokosnüsse und die Verpackung ist aus Papier.
Wir sind darauf bedacht unsere Produzenten und deren Mitarbeiter fair und menschenwürdig zu behandeln. Durch die enge Zusammenarbeit und des persönlichen Kotaktes zu unseren Herstellern, können wir uns von der Einhaltung den menschenwürdigen und fairen Arbeitsbedingungen stets überzeugen.
Beim Kauf eines unserer Produkte unterstützen Sie ein Kinder-Hilfsprojekt in Indien !
VIENNA NIGHTRUN – LIGHT FOR THE WORLD
> LIGHT FOR THE WORLD INT. SITE <
Let action speak.
LIGHT FOR THE WORLD is a European confederation of national development NGOs committed to saving eyesight, improving the quality of life and advocating for the rights of person with disabilities in the underprivileged regions of our world.
There are about 37 million blind people in the world, 90% live in developing countries. 75% of cases of blindness are treatable by relatively simple means or could have been avoided in the first place. 80% of the world’s 650 million persons with disabilities live in developing countries. 45 million of them are children. Only a very small percentage has access to basic health care and basic education. In this cycle of poverty and disability people are deprived of their fundamental human rights. They are largely excluded from development processes. In addition, poverty means that millions of people are at risk of aquiring impairments and becoming disabled. In more than 50% of the cases an impairment is avoidable. LIGHT FOR THE WORLD provides access to treatment and therapy for affected people by supporting local partner organisations.
LIGHT FOR THE WORLD commits itself to the task of creating new prospects for persons with disabilities, to increase mobility with the help of devices, as well as to start initiatives that will provide education and income. Another objective is to raise awareness on inclusion of persons with disabilities in their family and social environment. This is an important basis for inclusion and for the autonomy and self-determination of persons with disabilities. The basis of our work are the supporters of LIGHT FOR THE WORLD. Due to the support of our donors we are able to work towards our mission. Raising public awareness on the situation of persons with disabilities in developing countries forms an important part of our work.

Rohingya Denied Access to Education in Myanmar and Bangladesh https://t.co/olZIPJb2jF
— Burma Campaign UK (@burmacampaignuk) 14. Dezember 2018
The Bangladeshi authorities have imposed restrictions on the type of education that can be provided to refugees, including by banning education in Bangla as well as any formal education that can lead to accreditation. This is apparently because Bangladeshi authorities do not want to create a “pull factor” or incentives for refugees to remain in the country longer term – although it is having a harmful effect on the ability of Rohingya children to access quality education.
Instead, education in the camps is being provided by a range of international and Bangladeshi NGOs as well as community-based organisations. Rohingya are often taught in informal “temporary learning centres” where the quality of education and curriculum can vary significantly depending on the NGO involved.
Classrooms are often severely overcrowded and badly resourced, and recruiting teachers – in particular women – remains a serious challenge. While aid groups have performed heroic efforts in responding to the crisis, there is a lack of long-term planning around education. There’s a shortage of education opportunities for 15-18-year olds, since the emergency context of the refugee response means that primary education has been prioritised over secondary. Some 150,000 children in the camps are still without access to any learning centres altogether.
“At the heart of the Rohingyas’ lack of access to education are the Myanmar authorities’ genocidal policies. Only when this ends will our community be able to live fulfilled life in peace where we can enjoy our human rights.
