H-No, 140-C, Block2, PECHS, Karachi Pakistan Phone: +92-21-4532804-4527698 Fax 021-4559252 Email: [email protected]: www.hands.org.pk Pakistan is reeling from the brutal ever massive floods. Millions are living at the roadsides ,tents and their homes and villages have been washed away and completely destroyed. This devastation is still continuing. The current floods have surpassed all the previous such calamities in terms of destruction and financial losses. It requires an effort in real terms to help out the victims stand on their feet. The rehabilitation process is always slow and it would take years to do that. Similarly the auspicious festival of Eid-ul-Fitr is the most illustrious and most- awaited amongst Muslims all over the world. Eid-ul-Fitr, which is observed at the end of fasting month of Ramadan, is considered as a sign of happiness, peace, and joy for the Muslims community. Muslims celebrate the prosperous occasion of Eid by wearing new apparels and sending Eid greetings and gifts to their loved ones. However, the Eid 2010 celebrated on September 11 is different because of the floods calamity that struck many regions not only in SINDH but also in Pakistan. The celebrations of Eid 2010 faded away from the faces of millions of flood victims, who have lost their families, children, and homes in the worst floods in the history of Pakistan. The most joyous festival of Islam was celebrated by flood victims in donated tents and shelters. The flood has not just damaged town, village and homes, but has also taken away dreams, hopes and happiness of poor people. They could never visualize that their family would be forced to leave the comfort of home and spend Eid in a relief camp this year. It is a very somber holiday this year, with millions suffering in Pakistan from the devastating floods. On this occasion, when many of PAKISTANI are with family, eating incredible meals and wearing new clothes, in that critical time HANDS remembered the many families who aren’t as lucky. All Pakistanis celebrated the happy occasion of Eid-ul-Fiter in their homes with their relatives but the affected areas of Flood affected people which are not cleared by Flood are still living in the camps far from their homelands and their relatives are in a pity condition. On the happy occasion of Eid, HANDS celebrated their happiness in its true spirit with the Flood affected people and their children at Sukkur ,Skhirpur ,Jacoabad, Kashmore and Thatta Flood affected people camp to convert their sorrow and grief in happiness. All families of camp come together and special Eid meals were prepared to mark the end of fasting and it was a special time for children. Girls received new clothes, and wore new glass bangles and put mehndi (henna) on their hands and boys got new shalwar kameez (traditional clothing). Children often received a small sum of money from adult relatives. On the Eid day HANDS General Manger Social mobilization, Advocacy and Disaster Management Mr.Zafar Ali Deharaj, Manager Emergency Mr. Saifullah Bhutto and respective DEMs along with their staff members met with all the camps members tent to tent and distributed Gift bags including food and non food items (raw food sweets, Bakeries, Toys, Balloons and sports items etc, and beside this 3340 packs of milk were also distributed among the Flood affected people children.

It presents children with a variety of characters, objects and landscapes from various cultures around the world. Here, we refect on three diferent approaches of the visual devel- opment, and on how to efectively create visual elements that represent a given culture, which have the potential to foster the children’s imagination and creativity. The frst approach was carried out by a single illustrator and was mainly informed by research on the web. It was time efcient and resulted in the creation of visual elements that may have been too obvious. The second one took longer, had more input from other team members and often resorted to pop culture as reference; the resulting visual elements were easily identifed by the children, probably because they depicted somewhat stereotyped representations. The third approach was a collabo- rative process from the start, that relied heavily on the opinions and insight of people who were born and raised in the country being represented. It resulted in a more complex relationship between the visuals and the culture they portrayed, which was potentially enriching for the viewer but may hamper the immediate identifcation of the culture.

Rise of the Veil: Islamic Modernity and the Hui Woman Zainab Khalid SIT FALL 2011 5/1/2011 1 Introduction: Assimilation/Dissimilation The Hui are a familiar sight in most cities in China; famed for their qingzhen restaurants and their business acumen. Known usually as the “Chinese speaking Muslims,” they are separated from the nine other Muslim xiaoshu minzu by a reputation for assimilation and adaptability that is a matter of pride for Hui in urban areas. A conversation with Hui women at Nancheng Mosque in Kunming revealed that they believed Hui to be at an advantage compared to other xiaoshu minzu because of their abilities to adapt and assimilate, “we are intelligent; we know what to do in order to survive in any environment.” Yet, the Hui of Yunnan also have a history of dissimilation- the Panthay Rebellion of 1856 took the shape of a Sultanate in Dali as Hui forces led a province-wide revolt against the Qing Empire.

  • Arts-Integrated Learning
    ARTS-INTEGRATED LEARNING THE FUTURE OF CREATIVE AND JOYFUL PEDAGOGY The NCF 2005 states, ”Aesthetic sensibility and experience being the prime sites of the growing child’s creativity, we must bring the arts squarely into the domain of the curricular, infusing them in all areas of learning while giving them an identity of their own at relevant stages. If we are to retain our unique cultural identity in all its diversity and richness, we need to integrate art education in the formal schooling of our students for helping them to apply art-based enquiry, investigation and exploration, critical thinking and creativity for a deeper understanding of the concepts/topics. This integration broadens the mind of the student and enables her / him to see the multi- disciplinary links between subjects/topics/real life. Art Education will continue to be an integral part of the curriculum, as a co-scholastic area and shall be mandatory for Classes I to X. Please find attached the rich cultural heritage of India and its cultural diversity in a tabular form for reading purpose. The young generation need to be aware of this aspect of our country which will enable them to participate in Heritage Quiz under the aegis of CBSE.

Through this period which spans almost half a century, substantive and wide ranging research has generated a fairly detailed picture of the varied nature and forms of homebased work, and the conditions of piece rated home workers in particular. Considerable progress has been made towards bringing homebased workers ‘out of the shadows’ through mobilization/organization/lobbying at national and international levels. Advances have been made in defining and including them in macro-level employment surveys and counting them, as also in documentation of a range of experiences through micro-studies. Theorizing around the role of homebased work in global production networks and in women’s employment have also contributed to widening the field, and global networking among scholars and organizations involved with women homebased workers has additionally facilitated solidarities across several countries.

  • Indian Sari As a Form of Tacit Communication
    Introduction INTRODUCTION India is emerging as a strong knowledge economy therefore globally people have been intrigued by India; be it the Taj Mahal (Tourists’ delight), Yoga (holistic fitness), Ayurveda (natural healing), Bollywood (Kitsch entertainment). Where each signifies the favored fashion and lifestyle trends; notably towards Indian fashions, apparel and textiles. India has a rich legacy of heritage textile traditions and wide range of ethnic costume traditions comprising versatile draped silhouettes and classic tailoring techniques; across the subcontinent, suitable to the terrain, weather and the regional socio-cultural influences due to various invasions and the colonial past. Indians have always taken great pride in adorning themselves and have always expressed their aesthetics through the clothes they wear, the homes they reside in, the products they use in day to day living. Besides aesthetics the products are a good example of design where form follows function. The use of indigenous materials to make all products has been the way of life. The shepherds have used wool from their livestock to spin superfine yarn. Learning to innovate further they weaved it into a fabric, used innovatively as shawls/mantles/kambals to keep them warm. This is the kind of innovation that is also the need of the hour in form of efficient supply chains and sustainable product life cycles. Innovations like these have been a part of daily life since generations. There is continued interest for classical Indian dress silhouettes, heritage textile crafts, accessories, and grooming practices among the western ateliers ever since the colonial past; where Indian cotton was the raw material for feeding the British mills during industrial revolution in the early 20th century & Pashmina wool shawls are a luxury fashion classic.
