Sorry Mirjam...the kid [Tim] that was asking for someone to send him the
book to borrow said he lived in Malaysia .. Donna Mirjam Bruck-Cohen wrote: ow i am tottaly confused , somebody speaks about QUEEN NOOR and the next writer writes HIS part of the world .... His who ? what country ,,, Jordan isn`t to be compared with India in anyway specially not in class [social or economical ] matters ... mirjam Melinda Meahan - take out TRASH to reply wrote: Hey, DAB, thanks for replying to this. The original message never Mae it to my news server. NP however I snipped out most of it.....which was quite a ramble. Go read in Queen Noor Al-Hussein's autobiography/memoirs, Leap of Faith, about what she did to help the desperately-poor people of Jordan is to work to give them opportunities to market locally-made handcrafts internationally. The workers did not need to ask for handouts. They used locally-available materials and Queen Noor made a way for them to be showcased internationally so that they would be sold and these crafters would earn money to help support their families. It was phenomenally successful and an excellent model to use. I bought the book when it hit the stores.....very good read. My work brings me in contact with foreign nationals and I can say that in his part of the world there are no middle classes....like India.....The wealthy and the Poor. I have a friendship with a Jordian woman...her husband is assigned here for 2 years, she has been very bored and myself and another knitting friend has taught her to knit......she comes to our monthly meetings at the local Library and came for the first time to the Guild Meeting.....she was very well received and got a kick out of show and tell.....she has after only a few months knitted a hat and scarf for one of her young sons. Anyway take care and be well! Donna |

"Mirjam Bruck-Cohen" wrote in message ... Can Someone explain to me how anybody can say bad things about any one here ????? mirjam Aah Mirjam, this person whom none of us know, came on here, made all kinds of unfounded accusations about some of the people who responded to the kid from Malaysia. She didn't agree with some of the posters and decided to give them a big lecture. I wouldn't worry about it. It wasn't worth the electronic paper it was written on. Shelagh |

I applaud Queen Noor's approach myself.

I am sorry you haven`t answered my question ,,
When it comes to these subjects i speak almost from within the field, i spent almost 3 years of my life enhancing and enriching courses that were meant to give Diplomas [earning abilities] To young people who wanted to become instructors for Handwork and Art instructors. When i noted that certain parts of the poulation would not come to the system i worked with the system to move the courses to places where this poulation could easily come and study. We also adjusted some of the courses to habits and traditions of certain populations, without lowering the requested abilities , I also built up courses for maters that were missing localy , something you can`t do from far away, but have to do while you are in the class room. We were very lucky some of our ex pupils , aren`t only teaching but have launched a carreer of artists them selves. mirjam co.il (Mirjam Bruck-Cohen) wrote: Interesting ? from wqhich side do you approach it ??? mirjam RASH to reply wrote: Mirjam Bruck-Cohen wrote: ow i am tottaly confused , somebody speaks about QUEEN NOOR and the next writer writes HIS part of the world ....

Well, Mirjam, then I guess I don't know enough about what you are
talking about to have thought about it. What was being discussed here was, is it helping someone out of poverty to encourage them to continue to solicit handouts, or is it helping someone out of poverty to encourage them to develop a way to earn a living in a self-sufficient manner? I vote (b), but obviously someone else felt that (a) was the better option *shrug* Mirjam Bruck-Cohen wrote: I am sorry you haven`t answered my question ,, |
