LOVE

Love is life

You weren’t going to tell anybody because last time you did that you started again after a couple of days. This time is different. Except it isn’t.

One day in, and you’ve told everyone you know, and everyone who was at the bus stop this morning, that you’ve quit smoking. You wax lyrical about how it’s not the nicotine, it’s about breaking the habit. You poor, naive fool. It’s about the nicotine, and you’re about to find that out the hard way.

Live for OTHERS

People are usually quite horrible to be around, but this is a whole new level of hatred. A combination of blood-rage and absolute exhaustion has left you pretty much unable to function, and so everything becomes a pet peeve, at best. Just remember: if someone says hello to you, slapping them is not an appropriate response.

Each week NDI’s Citizen Participation team provides a resource to assist NDI staff in meeting the objectives of their programs. This past month’s resources analyzed how citizens can counter corruption through nonviolent action, how to build a coalition in order to launch a successful campaign, social auditing to increase government accountability, and the debates and challenges of disability inclusion in development.

Freedom From Corruption: A Curriculum for People Power Movements, Campaigns and Civic Initiatives, published by Shaazka Beyerle, is a self-study guide on how strategic nonviolent action can counter corruption and build accountability from the bottom up. The first two modules of the curriculum introduce key concepts for effectively engaging in nonviolent action. The final eight sections highlight the use of people power (objectives, strategy and planning), nonviolent action and potential outcomes. The curriculum is one extended interactive exercise and provides room for constructive input and new ideas.
