A couple of months ago, I had the privilege of working with an non governmental organization whose primary focus was mental health and development. I was asked to come up with some designs that would be used to challenge people on their attitudes towards mental health. We began to scour the surface for negative terms that people use as well as images that would help illustrate these challenges. These are some of the results of that process.

Some of my latest designs. The local brew is a fixture in most of the rural areas in our countries. While often attacked for raising the bar on alcoholism, these spots are also centers of communication and camaraderie. In addition to this, they also generate a healthy income for the women that often run them. Maybe the concern that the larger brewers have is not really centered on safety as much as it is on competition. Clean these places up and they will give the larger groups a run for their money!

My project is still pending. I managed to place a barrier of sorts around
A jack fruit tree. The tree was delighted. Don’t ask me how I know. I need a little more wood for the rest of the yard. The rest is a little exhausting.

There are some agitations about the cost of a university education. It is said that ignorance can be quite costly. To pretend that we have somehow reached the pinnacle of all knowledge is wrong. The goal up to this point seems to have been more towards having a more organized and structured system. Whether this has made us more intelligent is another question all together. The question we should ask is if this environment can still cultivate new knowledge and if that new knowledge really exists.

Today I did some landscaping. It helps me deal with stress. I am really trying to do some basic gardening but it is turning out to be a lot more.

The other great thing is that I can earn a little money too.

The task at hand reminded me about some of the places that I had been to in the U.S. We spent a considerable amount of time carrying out similar tasks. I guess the experience has proven valuable.

Now I get the chance to turn my landscape into a work of art. It will prove amazing to see what I do with this large canvas.

Power sharing. Just make sure that you do not connect devices that consume too much power and then hope to share the costs.
