Movies in The Park
Class 95 was celebrating their 20th birthday with Movies In The Park last week and they are showing 2 HOLLYWOOD BLOCKBUSTERS MOVIES BACK TO BACK!
The park has been packed with lot’s of people and yet families,friends were having a night of fun together ~ My 2 cents advise: better go early to get a good spot and remember to bring all essential stuff.
Weekend
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.” - (Ecclesiastes 9:11)
Be Ordinary
Just be ordinary and nothing special. Eat your food, move your bowels, pass water, and when you’re tired, go and lie down.
The ignorant will laugh, but the wise will understand.

In 2010, The United Nations will host the largest gathering of heads of state since the Millennium Summit in the year 2000. At their last Summit, 189 world leaders pledged to achieve the Millennium Development Goals, in order to eradicate extreme poverty and its root causes by the year 2015. With just five years left until the deadline, the upcoming summit represents the international community’s last chance to develop breakthrough plans to achieve the Goals. We must tell heads of state in no uncertain terms that we expect them to deliver on their promises.

“We Can End Poverty” Millenium Development Goal
On 20-22 September, UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-moon has called on world leaders to attend a summit in New York to accelerate progress towards the MDGs.
Coming amid mixed progress and new crises that threaten the global effort to halve extreme poverty, “the summit will be a crucially important opportunity to redouble our efforts to meet the Goals,” he said, referring to the targets adopted at the UN Millennium Summit of 2000, aimed at slashing poverty, hunger, disease, maternal and child deaths and other ills by a 2015 deadline.

On Goal 7,About ‘Ensure Environmental Sustainability’
Caring for and sustaining the environment does more than benefit our consciences – it affects our health. The water we drink, the fields we cultivate, and the food we grow all come from the earth, and it is our responsibility to nourish it. A person’s health and well being are endangered by gutted natural resources and toxic living conditions. This is particularly true in the developing world where: 1.2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water, 2.4 billion people lack access to toilets, and 2 million children die every year from infections spread by dirty water or the lack of toilets.
Goal 7 aims to improve the way we manage the environment so that natural resources people need to survive will be available to future generations. There is a strong link between poverty and the environment as poor people, especially in least developed countries, are more dependent on agriculture and natural resources and are thus often the most severely affected by the pollution or destruction of them. Integrate the principles of sustainable development into country policies and programs and reverse the losses of environmental resources.
“Up There” Documentary Film
Up there is a a film directed by Malcolm Murray, based on an original concept by Mother. It is the story of the fading tradition of hand painted advertising and the untold story of the painters struggling to keep it alive. The film presents a painting tradition pre-dating modern advertising. A craft that today finds itself dangling precariously on the brink of extinction.

“It was an amazing experience to witness the painters’ meticulous attention to detail, their sacrifice and passion. The film shows their untold story as they work in a suspended world isolated from the busy streets below, battling both the natural elements and changes in the advertising industry that could make their livelihoods extinct,” said the film’s director Malcolm Murray.
