Nelson Mandela Rolihlahla Mandela was born in the black homeland of Transkei on July 18, 1918. Nelson was added later, by a primary school teacher. He joined a law firm in Johannesburg as an apprentice where years of daily exposure to the inhumanities of apartheid, where being black reduced one to the status of a nonperson, kindled in him courage to change the world. He joined the Youth League of the African National Congress and became involved in programs of passive resistance against the laws that forced blacks to carry passes and kept them in a position of permanent servility. He was arrested in 1964 and sentenced to life imprisonment on Robben Island. He spent twenty-seven in prison. Nelson Mandela was released on February 18, 1990. After his release, he plunged himself wholeheartedly into his life's work, striving to attain the goals he and others had set out almost four decades earlier. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize jointly with Fredrik Willem de Klerk in 1993, and was elected President of South Africa in 1994. To millions of people around the world, Nelson Mandela stands for the triumph of dignity and hope over despair and hatred, of self-discipline and love over persecution and evil. For More Information

Decade for the Culture of Nonviolence Nobel Price Laureates who signed "for the children of the world" 1965 - United Nations Children's Fund ( Unicef Founded in 1946, UNICEF is mandated by the United Nations General Assembly to advocate for the protection of children's rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. UNICEF is guided by the Convention on the Rights of the Child and strives to establish children's rights enduring ethical principles and international standards of behavior towards children. During the post-WWII period, UNICEF used an "emergency needs approach" to meet the food, clothing, and health needs of children, particularly in Europe. Today, UNICEF, the only organization of the United Nations dedicated exclusively to children, works with other United Nations bodies, governments and non-governmental organizations to lighten children's loads through community-based services in primary health care, basic education, and safe water and sanitation in developing countries. Norman Borlaug Norman Borlaug is a plant breeder who for most of the past five decades has lived in developing nations, teaching the techniques of high-yield agriculture. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970, primarily for his work in reversing the food shortages that haunted India and Pakistan in the 1960s. Perhaps more than anyone else, Borlaug is responsible for the fact that throughout the postwar era, except in sub-Saharan Africa, global food production has expanded faster than the human population, averting the mass starvations that were widely predicted for example, in the 1967 best seller Famine 1975! The form of agriculture that Borlaug preaches may have prevented a billion deaths.

Media Releases News from the Field Publications Newsletter Annual Report Caritas Australia is a signatory to Australian Council for International Development (ACFID) and is AusAID accredited. Caritas Australia salutes 10 years of democracy in South Africa Challenges which South Africa still face include finding ways to increase levels of employment for all its people - particularly its black majority - and curbing more effectively the spread of HIV/AIDS. On April 27, 1994, through democratically held elections the country managed to dismantle apartheid, the most conspicuously institutionalised expression of racism the world then knew, without major bloodshed or economic turmoil. Apartheid was a system that exposed all that was evil about dividing society along racial lines and then applying inequitable economic formulae and dehumanising often violent measures to ensure that a small elite held political power and restricted opportunities for the powerless majority. While isolated pockets of racism endure, the largely peaceful demise of the former system of administration has provided hope that life can change for the better for all South Africans. Much of the credit for completing the transition to majority rule in South Africa goes to two people. The first, President Fredrik Willem de Klerk, who had the foresight to recognise that if South Africa were to survive, its political system needed to change regardless of the wishes and fears of its white minority.

“What an Extraordinary Place!” Rosh Hashana Reflections on Several Intertwined Anniversaries: 80, 30, 25, 10, 3, 2 A Weekly Briefing on Israeli and Middle Eastern Affairs September 23, 2003 Dr. Eran Lerman Director Israel/Middle East Office The American Jewish Committee “What an extraordinary place,” exclaimed Clinton during the evening celebrations. “I feel at home here.” (Our own AJC president, Harold Tanner, who was there, can attest to the immense warmth with which Clinton was received by the Israeli public.) As the heroic (in Hebrew, g vurot , a term associated with the age of 80) celebration rolled on, it brought into focus not only politics, but also Peres’s other favorite set of issues—namely, the need to reshape Israel as a society based on science-driven industries (such as nanotechnology)—a vision for which he now actively seeks the support of American Jewry. Again he opened windows to a vision of prosperity spreading to parts of the region beyond our borders. None of our trials and tribulations over these last few years have changed this man’s focus on the future. What is wrong with such an intervention? Two main issues arise:

III. Alfred Nobel And The Nobel Prizes Alfred Nobel is the man who invented dynamite. He is better known today, however, as the man who established some of the most prestigious prizes in the world. Born in 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden, Nobel from his youth had a dream of inventing an explosive so devastating it would deter humans from making war. Instead, his invention made war easier. Though he was a Swede by birth, he was very much an international man, being educated in St. Petersburg, Russia, where his family moved when he was a child. In St. Petersburg, he studied with private tutors, particularly showing interest in chemistry and languages. He mastered Swedish, Russian, English, French, and German. At the age of 17 he began two years of educational travel throughout Germany, France, Italy and to the United States. Then at the age of 19 he became a chemist, working with his father in St. Petersburg. The family returned to Sweden and in 1863 he was a chemist in his father's explosives factory at Heleneborg near Stockholm. In 1864 Nobel received a patent covering detonating charges and percussion caps. Called "The Nobel Igniter," it was to be called at a later time "the greatest discovery ever made in both the principle and practice of explosives." His 1866 invention of dynamite revolutionized mining, road building and tunnel blasting. In 1875 a later improvement was patented as blasting gelatine. In 1887 he patented ballistite, the first of the nitroglycerine smokeless powders. This was to serve as the basis for cordite which was eventually to change the use of firearms.
