Extractions: STRATEGIES FOR ERADICATION Fran P. Hosken Presented at The First International Symposium on Circumcision, Anaheim, California, March 1-2, 1989. Female genital mutilation - the descriptive term for the different types of operations are "excision" and "infibulation" - continues to be practiced in large regions of Africa, from the Red Sea Coast to the shores of the Atlantic. According to a conservative estimate, at least 84 [110] million women and girls are mutilated today in Continental Africa and similar operations are practiced along the Persian Gulf and the southern part of the Arab Peninsula. In Indonesia and Malaysia, less drastic forms of "female circumcision" are practiced by some of the Moslem populations of this region and sporadic occurrences have been registered among other mainly Moslem groups. With increasing mobility of African and Middle Eastern immigrants to Europe, the U.S. and also to Australia, these mutilations are being exported all over the world. Indeed, Britain had to pass special legislation recently to prohibit the operations (which were carried out by obliging physicians for a high fee). In France, the Criminal Courts had to finally initiate proceedings against African fathers and families after three little girls died as a result of the operations performed in France. One father brought to court had "operated" on his baby daughter with a pocket knife - the child bled to death.
Harvard School Of Public Health Annual Report 2002 Trained as a medical doctor in his native country of Burkina faso in Western Africa, she also admits that it has been somewhat of a culture shock. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/review/review_annual_02/profiles.html
Extractions: DEVELOPING PUBLIC HEALTH LEADERS IS CENTRAL TO THE HARVARD SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH'S MISSION. Each year, more than 350 public health professionals earn advanced degrees from the School. While their backgrounds and interests are extraordinarily diverse, all are united by a common desire to make a positive difference in health and well-being of the world's populations. The profiles below highlight just a few of the School's exceptional students and recent graduates, whose drive and enthusiasm for their work are an inspiration to us all. Unfortunately many of the School's students also share the common burden of working in a field which, while emotionally satisfying, can be economically draining. They make tremendous sacrifices to study at Harvard and pursue careers in public health. For this reason, we are indebted to the generosity of donors like Russell and Judith Carson, John and Virginia Taplin, the Cabot Family, and so many others, who have made gifts to support scholarships and fellowships at the School. In an age of rising academic and housing costs and fierce competition for training grants, their contributions have helped so many gifted scholars attend the School and grow into the public health leaders they were meant to be.

The area is largely covered with relatively undisturbed rainforest, mainly due to low population pressure. Rural population density is approximately 0.002/km . The main economic centre is Riberalta. The area has an interesting history of NTFP extraction, starting in the mid 19 th century with quinine and - at a larger scale - rubber ( Hevea brasiliensis ). The rubber boom (1887-1917) resulted in immigration of nearly one hundred thousand people from all over Bolivia and abroad. The rubber was extracted in

Extractions: We head northwest out of the capital and towards the hustle and bustle of Ghana's second city. Kumasi has a lot of interesting places to visit, from the palace of the Asante King to the vast central market where you can buy traditional Asante craft and squeeze through alleyways packed with chickens, shoemakers and layers of brightly coloured cloth. You can visit the Kumasi cultural centre to see woodcrafts being made. The following day we travel 30 km south to Lake Botsumtwi, which sits quietly at the bottom of a green crater. The lake is a perfect place to relax, swim and explore the lakeside villages as well as having the opportunity to go out on a boat and see the unusual local fishing styles. Heading north through Ghana we make our way to Mole national park. We arrive at sunset to camp on a hill overlooking a crocodile and elephant populated watering hole and a view that stretches out across the 5000 square kilometers of national parkland. At dawn we walk down to the watering hole with a park ranger to get closer to the numerous species of wildlife that roam the park. We return to camp for breakfast and a day by the pool before the evening safari and campfire.

Extractions: August 2, 2001 Burkino Faso president in Havana "AFRICA now recognizes that if its unity fails to advance in the current process of globalization, the continent will disappear," President Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso told Granma daily in an interview on the recent constitution of the African Union during his visit to Cuba from July 20-23. At its 37th and most recent conference in Lusaka, the Organization of African Unity was replaced by the African Union. Amara Essy, former foreign minister of the Ivory Coast, was elected secretary general of the new body, structured into a commission, a central bank and a parliament. "In this political union, Africa expects to find a far greater will to submerge itself historically, and also to coordinate actions and combine its means to tackle issues of much concern to the population, such as health, education, food and, of course, transportation and communications," Compaoré observed. Regarding his talks with Fidel Castro, who bade farewell to Compaoré at José Martí International Airport, he stated: "We exchanged ideas on issues of fundamental concern to the countries of the South in the historical context of globalization."
Extractions: This book is not directly about menswork. Its about Some's early life, and his culture, that of the Dagara tribe in Burkino Faso, West Africa. But it contains themes which are relevant for menswork, simply because they are integral to that culture: a boy's relationship with his grandfather, and the initiation rites which all teenage boys undergo. Malidoma Some works with Michael Meade leading men's workshops, mainly in the US. I attended their residential last year at Gaunts House and it was a remarkable experience. Some's presence is very profound, and he speaks with enormous wisdom, grit, compassion and honesty. These qualities come across in this book which is an autobiography of the first part of his life. The book is a fascinating account of the relationship with the spirit world, which is as integral to the Dagara culture as TV is to ours, of the traditional shamanism in a West African tribe, and, in particular, of Some's month-long tribal initiation along with the boys of the tribe. It also portrays vividly the cruel impact of French colonial repression on Some's life and his spirited response and refusal to forget his roots. Malidoma, whose name means 'be friends with the stranger/enemy', was born under the shadow of French colonial rule in Upper Volta, West Africa (now Burkino Faso). The book describes how, at the age of four, he was taken by a Jesuit priest and imprisoned in a seminary for training a new generation of "black" priests. After fifteen years, being beaten if he got his French wrong, growing up in an alien culture, Some threw a priest out of the window in a fit of rage and fled, walking 125 miles through the jungle back to his own people, the Dagara. On his return, however, he could not remember his native tongue, and his people regarded him with suspicion because he had been contaminated by the "sickness" of the colonial world. In order to reconnect with his tribe, he underwent the harrowing initiation alongside boys much younger than him.
