The Daniel Malka Photo Project "How They See"DMPProject
The Daniel Malka Photo Project inc. (Federal and Quebec Registered Non Profit Corporation Number 813173-2, NEQ: 1168331594 ) was founded in Montreal, Canada by Daniel Malka, Msc., photographer, writer and lecturer. After working for over 20 years as an advertising, editorial, and fine art photographer in Europe and North America, Daniel Malka has decided to focus all his experience and efforts in helping marginalized and at risk children around the globe. The Malka Photo Project’s mission is to use innovative methods to train young photographers on location in various countries. Marginalized groups of children between the ages of 5 and 15 will be provided with digital cameras and trained in the basics of photography. The Project aims to encourage projects on all continents, in collaboration with NGOs, charities and community organizations already on site, creating a worldwide community of young photographers, sharing their world through their eyes.
"How They See" is the first project in Ruka, Cusco Peru.
The following presentation is an example of a successful project run in Peru. We are preparing 2 more projects in Peru.
Solar cooking Benefits - Messages to StakeholdersPaul Arveson
Solar thermal cooking has benefits not only for the cook but in general for women, environmentalists, health workers, engineers, economic developers, and country leaders. Billions still cook over open fires, but on sunny days a solar cooker can replace fire and provide clean, safe cooking energy with no fuel cost -- the cheapest way to cook food. Solar cookers can thereby also eliminate much of the labor of foraging for wood, chopping and preparing fires, and thus it can liberate time for women to devote to child care, education and employment. This in turn can lead to multiple economic, health and environmental benefits, such as reduced deforestation, reduced injuries, reduced habitat loss, reduced pollution, and hence help to develop countries in an innovative way. This is one of a series of slide presentations developed by Paul Arveson, a director of Solar Household Energy, Inc., a nonprofit organization based in Washington, DC.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

have this instalations. TNT contributed to relieve this urgent necesity
and realized the donations for the construccions of the structure.

Benefits of the TNT Projects - Team 13 in Nicaragua
Benefits for the community
In general improves the quality of life in the
communities.
Children receive a warm meal and just cooked,
they feel happier and the attention level is much
higher.
Mothers avoid heavy loads of warm food from their
houses to school and the risk to get respiratory
diseases decreases because the majority of the
houses do not have chimneys.
Adequate storage in the kitchen warehouse avoid
conflict among the members of the community;
because before that the food was storage in their
own houses and people use to think the food could
be eaten for their own consumption.
