Global Art Contest

The Stockholm Convention celebrated its 10th anniversary in May 2011. On this occasion, the Secretariat of the Stockholm Convention is organising a global art contest for children and youth.

The theme for the competition is "Stockholm at 10: Chemical Challenges, Sustainable Solutions" and what it means to young people around the world. For example, in their entries, children and youth may explore the many ways persistent organic pollutants (POPs) affect the life of the planet, enter people’s bodies, and change ecosystems, the reasons why the planet's "chemical temperature" is rising, and how people can protect themselves and nature from these harmful substances.
The contest is open to three possible art media categories:
• Drawing
• Photography
• Short videos
There are also three age categories:
• 5-10 years old 11-15 years old 16-20 years old

Deadline 16 March 2012

My world revolves around you.

Never Give Up!

Amazing stories of amazing people.
http://des.emory.edu/mfp/efficacynotgiveup.html

What about you? Do you believe in yourself enough not to give up?

A Motto for Life...

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.

For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.

For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.

For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.

For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.

Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.

As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

— Sam Levenson
