Edited By Myself: Supported By Unicef France - Rwandan Street Child

The latest episode of “TopZehn” was about the ten most cruel prisons.
>One of them was the “Gitarama-Prison” in the least developed country of Rwanda: In the 90’s this prison was hopelessly overcrowded. There were several thousand inmates more than were actually supposed to be there. Many suffocated due to a lack of oxygen, died of starvation or – some of them were forced to stand for days – exhaustion. Of course this environment also caused a lot of stress, making them kill each other. Due to a lack of food cannibalizing those one murdered was nothing unusual. Of course diseases – lethal or harmless – were common, too. Luckily due to international protests changes were made.
>”El Rodeo” is a prison in Venezuela where guards prefer some and discriminate against others. While some are allowed to sell drugs in this prison, have access to the Internet, even are allowed to leave to go to a disco, and even can found their own gangs and start brutal gang wars with the gangs of other inmates, nothing is done to prevent them from kidnapping, mistreating and even murdering those inmates who get discriminated against.

The August-sample of the international “National Geographic” says that now a project to help peasants in Rwanda was started by different aid-organizations. The flower Tanacetum cinerariifolium is used to produce environmentally-friendly pesticides as well as for decoration, meaning that this plant is used a lot all around the world. Now Rwandan peasants were supplied with enough seed to grow whole fields of this flower and earn most of their living by selling it.
However pessimists even criticize this harmless event. They say that considering the political and social turmoils over there it’s like casting pearls before swine.

Re-upload: As the name says the organization “German Doctors E.V.” is an association of doctors from Germany and they think that as doctors they have the duty to help everyone who is sick or injured no matter whether or not he can afford the treatment. So these 332 doctors are sent to very poor countries, like Rwanda where they heal the poor without even getting paid.
However “German Doctors E.V.” urgently needs more money which people can send to:
EKK-Bank
Bank Account Number: 4 88 888 0
Bank Code: 520 604 10

Re-upload: According to the German website where I found it, this photo shows a Rwandan street child. If you want to learn about two organisations that help them and maybe even want to get involved yourself, then you should visit the following websites: “http://www.streetkidsofrwanda.org/newspage.html” and “http://www.ubakaurwanda.org.uk/projects”.

“Domradio” said yesterday that Rwanda and Nicaragua were among the seven countries where female workers were treated in the most just way.
Just to have a comparison: Germany only made it to 12th place as here it is still common that male workers get paid more than female ones and male applicants also get prefered over female ones.

The latest example of the magazine “Dein Spiegel” contained an article about child-labor. It says that Bolivia now legalized child-labor for children 10 years or older if the parents agree and if it is nothing dangerous. However this also means that 10-year-olds can be forced to drop out of school without any graduation and start to work. They also reported about children in Rwanda who had to earn their living by knitting and selling blankets and pillows. In the picture the amount of pillows one boy had to carry to the marketplace looked extremely heavy and hard to carry. In Ethiopia however they found children who collected wood or deposit bottles to sell them and earn their living. Some of them later would buy a goat or a chicken for the money and be forced to care for the animal instead of going to school.

The newspaper “Berliner Zeitung” says that due to the financial cricis the USA go through at the moment banks now give a lot less financial support. This is logical, but this newspaper says that as a result the money of emerging nations and developing countries like Rwanda becomes less worthy which of course is awful for the citizens of these countries.
