Mend

MEND: Aromorach Monica from MEND on Vimeo.

awesome
The Mend Campaign, and one I'm more familiar with, the Bracelet Campaign, are really where I see a future in sustainable foreign aide from NGOs. When I was at the IC office the summer before this, my friend was showing me around and telling me everything going on. When we got to the bracelet campaign office I was really impressed. They are really giving people an opportunity to make money and start their own lives. The thing that is best about it, is unlike a factory/sweatshop, where they employ a ton of people, paying them just enough to get by, in bad conditions, the people at bracelet campaign are getting paid enough to get by and a little more. With that money the women can leave the bracelet campaign and start their own venture to make money. The woman in this video apparently bought pigs she can sell, but another group of women through the bracelet campaign have started their own loan company in their village! And now they are helping other people in their community get some money to get back on their feet again. So not only are these people empowering themselves, empowering their neighbors, they're also giving their families a start by sending them to school! And while schools in Northern Uganda are certainly not the most encouraging places, it's far better to try and get educated than to stay home. Hopefully these people are sending their kids to some of the better, less crowded schools.
Anyway, I got this video in an e-mail and I thought it was really well done. I really liked how they presented the mend campaign and how you hardly even saw the product. So often I roll my eyes a little at the advertising IC puts out. I thought this was really tasteful and well done.

the website wouldn't let me embed the 2 videos I wanted to post, but they were really interesting. These people in Sweden did an experiment to see if making chores fun would lead people to do them more often. They two things they tried was choosing stairs instead of an elevator and recycling bottles

The results are pretty cool!

The Future

People have always been occupied thinking about the future. Wondering what is to come, and making predictions on how things will change and how humanity will adapt. These AT&T commercials had this prediction right on. Really interesting



thats some Nostradamus shit.

Speaking of Michael Jackson, He had a video game entitled 'Moonwalker'

I feel like I had to post this video to compliment our last post. No disrespect. We love you Michael.. and play your...video game...

Pop at its Best

The VMAs were tonight and Apparently I missed an incredible show.
First of all, Kanye... how embarrassing for you.
Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech to say Beyonce deserved best female music video; just to later find out that Beyonce won video of the year. ouch. REALLY awkward.

MTV Shows

Speaking of Beyonce, Sasha Fierce definitely was in full gear during her live rendition of Single Ladies. I couldn't help but be totally amazed at how Beyonce is such a strong and awesome performer. I can't believe how incredible she is over and over. She is on stage with at least 50 other dancers and upstages ALL of them.
Check out that video below

Beyoncé - New Music - More Music Videos

While Beyonce proved (once again) her right at the title Queen of Hip hop, there was an amazing tribute to the man that paved the way. Micheal Jackson's tribute was so tasteful and well done. Absolutely incredible. I can not believe how great it turned out. Very simple but totally powerful, and while being a huge dance number that was really larger than life, it also, to me, was very effective in making him seem like a real person. Which I thought really reflected how he was. This man is bigger than any of us can ever dream, but at the end of the day, he's still just a man. When his sister Janet got on stage for the final part of the performance everything tied together and showed his humanity.
It was really touching. I finally let it all out... I couldn't help but cry.
its incredible
love you michael<3
