Holi (We Are Variable)
0
Holi ~ in slow motion. Having lived through Holi in Nepal, this is a gorgeous, dream-like dip into the fervor and excitement of the festival. By Variable.
Holi, a Hindu festival from about the 7th Century, lasts about two days and lowers (but does not remove completely) the strictness of social norms, which includes gaps between age, gender, status, and caste. Together, the rich and poor, women and men, enjoy each other’s presence on this joyous day. No one expects polite behavior; as a result, the atmosphere is filled with excitement, fun and joy. ... Red signifies the colour of passion and Lord Krishna is the king of desires. The ritual signified that all desires should be diverted for the attainment of Krishna and for the well being of society.

Faces Change, Bruises Don't (NSPCC)
0
The NSPCC is nationwide network of professional child protection teams across the UK. This not-for-profit fundraising campaign in 1984 set the standards for a new generation of foreword thinking fundraising.
"NSPCC’s Centenary Appeal campaign in 1984 propelled fundraising practice in the UK and Europe forward in one giant leap. There had, of course, been capital campaigns on a similar scale in other parts of the world, but in Britain this audacious initiative transformed the thinking and practice of a generation. It showed fundraisers that, given the right combination of foresight, courage, professional planning and commitment to a great cause, almost anything might be possible."
