UHV senior plans mercy mission to Africa Tuesday, April 22, 2008 (0 Comments)

The hands reaching out for help are from children in war-torn Uganda. The hands reaching out to help them are from a senior at the University of Houston-Victoria.

Karalyn Jones Karalyn Jones, a 22-year-old education major, will spend the summer in Africa aiding and teaching children in the war-torn country of Uganda.

Jones first learned about their plight two years ago through Invisible Children, an organization dedicated to protecting the children of Uganda and ending the long-running civil war. Then, in November, she attended a Methodist church-sponsored justice conference in Dallas.

Two men talked about homes they run for former child soldiers in their respective countries. Many of these children, some as young as 5, were kidnapped by rebel soldiers and forced to fight on the front lines.

“They use them as mine sweepers,” Jones said with an impassioned voice. Children literally are forced to walk across minefields to clear them.

“They’re expendable because the rebels can get as many as they want,” she said.

Boys become soldiers. Girls become sex slaves or wives. Many children are sold to finance the revolution.

Children as young as 8 to 10 are sometimes forced to beat other children to death as a way of learning aggression, she said. Some are even forced to attack their own villages and kill their own families.

Jones turned her heartbreak into a call for action.

On June 18, she will leave for Uganda after a four-day New York orientation. She will have nothing more than a 30-pound backpack to get her through eight weeks in Africa as part of an outreach sponsored by Operation Crossroads Africa, an aid organization predating the Peace Corps.

She will be one of eight to 10 college students working within classrooms to help tutor children, aid teachers and assist in the construction of a facility for special needs children to teach them how to be part of a brass band.

“We don’t come in and bring our own programs; we simply provide manpower for their vision,” Jones said.

Her visit also will include meetings with former child soldiers who are being taught how to live in society.

While there, Jones will complete an independent study for an anthropology class through UHV to study how children are educated and learn in Uganda. With more than 56 tribal languages spoken in that nation, the burgeoning education system faces numerous unique challenges.

Most of Jones’ preparatory research has focused on these language barriers which the children and their schools must overcome.

When she returns, she will present her findings and gain credit from the UHV School of Arts & Sciences.

UHV awarded Jones a $600 scholarship to help finance her trip. In addition, her education background and credentials from UHV were major contributing factors in her selection for the Uganda team.

“At UHV, we try to equip our students to go out and change the world,” UHV President Tim Hudson said. “When I hear about students like Ms. Jones actually going out and doing it, it touches a special place in my heart.”

Hudson extended his personal best wishes to Jones.

“I wish her the best of luck on the trip, and I can’t wait to hear the amazing stories she’ll bring back to share with all of us at UHV,” Hudson said.

This is one more example of how the UHV community spans the entire globe, he said.

But Jones is not just waiting around until her trip. She’s already started her work to try to help ease the suffering of these children.

For Christmas, Jones ran a small pilot project in which people could make a donation in the name of a loved one to benefit children in Africa instead of sending a Christmas gift. She plans to launch the program to a wider audience this Christmas.

At St. Marks Methodist Church, Jones organized a Vacation Bible School that connected children at her church to those at the homes in Liberia and Uganda by exchanging letters and name bracelets.

“The children in those homes, they feel betrayed and forgotten,” she said. Most can’t go home because they are either rejected or their homes simply have been destroyed.

“Our hope was to let them know they have not been forgotten, that we know their real names, and we feel they can change the world, too,” Jones said.

Getting a simple name bracelet and letter from children in America meant the world to those in Africa. In turn, the American children learned what they could do to help change the world.

Jones is raising money for her trip and plans to blog during the trip about her adventures and experiences in the war-torn country. She will blog through UHV Connect, UHV’s social networking Web site, at www.uhvconnect.org.

Jones can be contacted at karalyn.jones@gmail.com or through St. Marks United Methodist Church, (361) 575-8206.

FLIPCHART TWO: Draft letters and distribution lists for TARGET ONE (a Contact Person in Houston)

TARGET ONE: to obtain a contact person for Area 8192 before the end of November 2008

Proposal: to send the following letter by email to 20 individuals or organisations in Houston (B & H districts) selected by their likely willingness to respond positively or else their commonalty of interest or purpose with groups in Kampala 2227 known to be interested in the WCP:

Dear Houstonian,

We all have our own dreams: mine is of a more understanding world, where every poorer area is partnered by a richer one. To make this possible, I devised a Worldwide Connectory that lists nearly five thousand areas across the world, covering two-fifths of the world’s population. Pairing these up at random was easy; but to make my dream of international partnerships come true, I now need the help of others. That’s why I am writing to you.

The World Connectory Project (WCP) aims to bring people together to participate in a unique global experiment by twinning some of the world‘s richest and poorest communities.

Using the internet as a starting point, the project seeks to promote:

International dialogue and cooperation at a grassroots level (by getting people to share their interests and experiences, perhaps by twinning neighbourhoods, schools, hospitals, faith groups or branches of the same international organisations)

Collaboration to help community based organisations achieve the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals, but from the bottom-up not the top-down (by supporting established projects and helping to create new ones)

And Houston can play a key role in making the WCP a success.

A first pilot partnership has been randomly selected to explore how this project might operate at a local level. Now, it just happens that this first partnership pairs up Council districts B & H in Houston, Texas with the southern half of Central division in Kampala, the capital of Uganda, plus the district of Makindye, a suburban area immediately to the south. Looking through Western eyes, it may seem strange to include downtown Houston and the adjoining areas to the north and east of the city among the world's richest communities, but looking though African eyes, everywhere in America, and in every other developed country, appears really prosperous.

Based on information available on the web about the community organisations in Houston with which you are involved, you would appear to have something very positive to contribute to this project. This is important, since the success or failure of this first pilot partnership may well influence the prospects of the whole project worldwide.

I invite you to find out more about the WCP by visiting http://connectory.org

I hope you will want to take part.

Best wishes

David Bale

World Connectory Project

PS In case you are curious to know, the reason for selecting you as one of the first addressees to receive this introductory email was as follows:

1. hci@chron.com
2. neighborhoods@chron.com

As one of America's largest newspapers, the Chronicle is in an ideal position to act as a forum for discussion not only for people living in City of Houston council districts B & H, but for people living in the other World Connectory areas in Harris County:

Each of these areas contains approximately half a million people and has been paired with areas of a similar size in the following countries:

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria & Tanzania

I would be very happy to answer any further questions you may have about the project.

Wishing everyone at the Houston Chronicle a joyful Christmas and a happy New Year

3. office@smumc.org

Looking for existing links between Houston and Kampala, I read of the visit of the African Children's Choir to St Marks United Methodist Church in the Spring of 2007. Although most of the Choir's activities are based in Areas 2226 (Kampala west) and 2228 (Kampala north), which are immediately to the north of the Area with which your section of Houston has been paired, the Choir's Training Academy is situated in the Makindye division of Kampala district, which makes up a large part of your partnership area. St Marks therefore seems a natural place to look for support for the World Connectory Project's first pilot partnership. Hopefully there will be members of the church interested in this project and willing to interest others in twinning your community with the people of south Kampala. There are many ways you might do this. You may wish to contact people you know through your association with the African Children's Choir. Or you may get ideas by looking at the connectory.org website, at the World Connectory Project discussions and workspaces on Ned.com or by contacting Kayiwa Fred, the Acting Correspondent for Area 2227 (Kampala south). You are also welcome to contact me for suggestions or for any further information about the World Connectory Project.

Have a joyful Christmas and a happy New year.

Universities have much to offer in establishing the World Connectory Project. They each provide a pool of committed and idealistic people with a capability of acting together to make the world a better place. I am emailing selected individuals within University of Houston: Downtown and Lone Star College North Harris, two higher education establishments that are located in council districts B or H.

I am writing to you in the absence - so far as I can make out - of an international students office at University of Houston-Downtown. I am hoping that those working with disability might be interested in the work in Uganda of Able Child Africa or else in finding out more about Makindye Disabled People's Association and one enterprising young man's plans to set up the Makindye Deaf Youth Camp; those involved with health and fitness might read about the amazing kids in the Kampala Junior Team, many of whom still need $120 a year to complete their primary school education; and those involved with general activities at the university might look at many of local projects listed at the Connectory.org website and explore how they might support or work with them.

Please tell others about this project too.

12. districtb@cityofhouston.net Jarvis Johnson
13. districth@cityofhouston.net Adrian Garcia

As the elected representative of district B/H, I thought you should be informed of the opportunity presented by the World Connectory Project for people living in your area to work together to improve local community-building, while contributing to better international cooperation and understanding at a local level through activities such as the non-civic twinning of organisations and places within Houston and Kampala.

There is also no reason why there should not also be some civic contact or twinning with Kampala City Council if you were interested in pursuing this.

I would be happy to answer any further questions you might have.

As an active member of my local quaker meeting in the UK (Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire), I particularly want to invite everyone at Live Oaks Quaker Meeting to take part in the WCP. I see from your website that you are engaged in several excellent campaigns about specific peace issues. I see the WCP as peace-building in a more general sense and wonder if there are Friends in Houston interested in complementing your current peace activities with a project of a more broadly social nature. I feel sure that if members of Live Oaks Meeting were to read more about Kampala Junior Team, for example, there would be some of you at least who would want to find ways of assisting these young people to get a primary education and to develop their talents.

I suggest reading the following links:

I read online of your interest in Uganda and your efforts to involve people in your local church and wider community in connecting with important international problems. I hoped you might be able to assist me in getting the WCP started in north east Houston. The problems of living in the slum communities of Kampala are less dramatic than those faced in recent years by the invisible children, but many Acholi people fled to the south and are still living in settlements like Mengo-Kisenyi in Central division and elsewhere in Makindye division, which together form the most densely populated areas of Kampala. To see some of the problems residents face there, you might read:

http://ayaaswwworld.blogspot.com /2008/10/little-light-in-shadows .html http://ayaaswwworld.blogspot.com /2008/10/inside-tunnel.html http://ayaaswwworld.blogspot.com /2008/11/admin-home-of-kjt.html

These accounts are written by Grace Ayaa, a remarkable widow and mother of five who has worked with Life in Africa to promote the cause of the Acholi, and who wrote these blogs as independent verification of the work being done by Kayiwa Fred and Kabugo Mansoor on behalf of the Kampala Junior Team (http://www.kampalajuniorteam.org /). Kayiwa has volunteered to be the Acting Correspondent for World Connectory Area 2227 and to act as a channel through which to communicate with supporters of the project in Kampala south. We still need an Acting Correspondent for Area 8192 (Houston NE). With your knowledge of Uganda and interest in its people you would be very well-qualified to promote the WCP. Would you yourself be willing to be the contact person for Areas 8192 or to help find someone else willing to be Acting Correspondent?

Wishing you a very happy Christmas and joyful New Year.

16. ampratt@aldine.k12.tx.us Ms Pratt

Having looked at many of Houston schools' websites, I particularly liked your aspiration for pupils at Aldine Ninth grade school:

"Our goal is, that as the year progresses, the students develop a global perspective and become critical thinkers and problem solvers."

I hope that you can find ways of incorporating the World Connectory Project into your teaching or extra-curricular activities

17. cduff@aldine.k12.tx.us Charlotte Duuff at McArthur Ninth grade school

I hoped that as a World Geography Department, you might be interested in studying more than just US History, either as a curricular or extra-curricular activity.

I'm interested in establishing a link between the Kampala Junior Team and kids playing soccer in Houston. The KJT have teams of all ages from Under 7 to Under 18 and they are very talented. Although all are orphans or street kids, they have won many trophies. Their first ambition, though, is to get enough money to get all their 350+ members through primary school. It costs each child $200 per year and they are finding it difficult to get sponsors or good ideas about enterprises to help raise the money. I have a DVD about them which I could send you if you wished. I've also emailed the Ching Team as I hoped they might want to help too.

22. Susan@GiftsWithHeart.org (FAO Brian Ching c/o Susan Mullins: President, Gifts with Heart)

I read online about the Ching Team and the presence of the Ching Team at Kicks Indoor Soccer in City of Houston council district B. I think your campaign to promote sport in a fight against child obesity is truly admirable. But it is also rather poignant when I think that the Kampala Junior Team, of which I am a proud supporter, experiences difficulty in feeding some of its members every day of the week.

I'm interested in establishing a link between the Kampala Junior Team and kids playing soccer in Houston. The KJT have girls and boys teams from Under 7 to Under 18 and they are very talented. Although all are orphans or street kids, they have won many trophies. Having beaten the current holders of the Under 14 Norway Cup in a tournament in Kenya, they have been invited to play next year in Scandanavia, but there is very little chance that they will be able to afford to go. Their first ambition, anyway, is to get enough money to get all their 350+ members through primary school. It costs each child $200 per year and they are finding it difficult to get sponsors or good ideas about enterprises to help raise the money. I have a DVD they made about themselves on their training ground. It is in the Luganda language. They are currently adding an English commentary. I would be delighted to send a copy to you when this has been done, should you wish this.

Anyway, thanks for all you are doing for young people everywhere!

23. info@indegoafrica.org (Indego Africa Project)

I have read with interest the work that Indego has been doing in Rwanda. The social enterprise approach that you champion has applicability thoroughout sub-Saharan Africa, not least in Rwanda's neighbour, Uganda. I hope you will consider ways you could participate in the World Connectory Project. Perhaps, Indego Africa could have a very useful advisory role in relation to all your local WCP partnerships, including this one, between Houston NE and Kampala south. (Other parts of Houston will be partnered with areas in Kenya, Nigeria and Tanzania - details available on request)

(NORTH HARRIS COUNTY YMCA 17125 ELLA BLVD, HOUSTON, TX 77090)

As one of the world's great international organisations, the YMCA has branches in a large number of World Connectory Areas and is ideally placed to use World Connectory partnerships as a pretext for making links with other YMCA centres across the world. Although the YMCA headquarters for Greater Houston lies, I believe, just outside city council district H, and is therefore not within the World Connectory Area 8192, there are three or four of your centres that lie within it: Aldine-Greenspoint, M.D. Anderson Family YMCA, Northeast Family YMCA and, possibly, North Harris County YMCA.

Would any of these centres be interested in making links with members of the YMCA in World Connectory Area 2227 in Kampala, Uganda? Or linking their soccer teams to the Kampala Junior Team in Area 2227, perhaps?

Kampala YMCA is based in the World Connectory Area a couple of miles to the north of Area 2227, in the northern part of Central division, but since Kampala YMCA serves the whole city, there must be many connections between Kampala YMCA and the activities of members living in Makindye division of Kampala and the southern part of Central division, whihc ogether make up Area 2227.

If there is some interest among any of your YMCA members in Houston in developing more links with Uganda, you may wish to make contact with Kampala YMCA directly yourselves, but if you prefered I would be happy to contact them to find out who would be the best person to speak to you there. Alternatively, you could contact Kayiwa Fred, the Acting Correspondent for Area 2227 - his contact details are on the Connectory.org website.

As the foremost local broadcaster in Houston, KPRC is in an ideal position to act as a forum for discussion not only for people living in City of Houston council districts B & H, but for people living in the other World Connectory areas in Harris County:

Each of these areas contains approximately half a million people and has been paired with areas of a similar size in the following countries:

Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Kenya, Nigeria & Tanzania

I would be very happy to answer any further questions you may have about the project.

I am trying to build links between City of Houston council districts B & H and its World Connectory partner area in the Central and Makindye divisions of Kampala in Uganda. (See the connectory.org website)

I wondered if the [Casa de Amigos Health Center/Thomas Street Center] would be interested in twinning with a health facility in south Kampala?

Let know if you would like more information.

The first people or organisations to whom emails are being sent:

You are welcome to participate individually or as a group, or by collaborative initiatives involving separate organisations.

If you would be willing to consider offering your services as the Contact person for the Worldwide Connectory Area #8192, I would be particularly pleased to hear from you, or, indeed, if you have any other queries about the World Connectory Project (or WCP, for short).
