(Open)2 projects Spokesperson AFRICAN RAPID RELIEF MOBILIZATION May 2012 – Present (1 year)2006 Westchester Avenue African Rapid Relief Mobilization (ARRC) is a project of the African Union Day Foundation. Founded in 2006, the African Union Day Foundation has been interfacing with diverse organizations and government entities interested in engaging in Africa’s social, economic and cultural affairs. The interested organizations and government entities have expressed a series of well intentioned ways through which the continent of Africa can be helped with a view to addressing, poverty, disease, illiteracy and unforeseen catastrophic disasters that have crippled the continent for centuries. While the African Union Day Foundation recognizes the fact that the challenges facing Africa cannot be addressed in a short space of time, there are some challenges that can be addressed by tapping into the existing and unused resources that interested organizations and government entities alike can contribute to Africa. For example, the Hospital Corporation has thousands of beds getting out of the hospital system every year, the companies that manufacture mosquito nets at times remain with an used mosquito nets, government entities are equipped various models of disaster and relief training that can be imparted to communities that need them. It is against the backdrop of the availability of untapped resources that the African Union Day aims to initiate the ARRCM as a humanitarian response program. Objectives: • Partner with government entities to educate, train and equip volunteers with effective tools of responding to disaster. • Create a storage space where requested items such housing material, social amenities equipment, will be stored while awaiting transportation to areas that will be plagued with disaster. • To facilitate workshops that will be aimed at interfacing respondents, donors and partners with cultural sensitivities when it comes to transporting aid and relief to Africa.

Unfortunately, with the proliferation of ever-more instant modern communication tools, crimes and violence have been their biggest beneficiaries -receiving a nonstop all media publicity. Horrendous crimes are now receiving book offers and movie deals even during their court proceedings, making notorious Criminals legend, unscrupulous investors richer and prosecutors and defense Attorneys television actors, while at the same time exposing our families to all sorts of criminal elements from within. Without minimizing the impact of societal violence, there is however far more good deeds being done everyday without much attention paid to them. Sadly, promoting the stories of good-doers has not been the interest of our media tycoons. To counter this unacceptable phenomenon, we decided to inspire a book of positive acts as a daily reference against the media’s nonstop promotion of violence and sex to our children. We believe this would help protect our youth from imitating criminals at the same time promoting peaceful coexistence in our communities. After all, we are all a family with a common ancestor. This book again is intended to inspire us all to increase our noble acts, encourage others in doing the same, while make it a daily protection from the media’s over exposed unfriendly violent world. The book is open to the public for story submission. People can write their own humanitarian acts or that of other good-doers they know. There would be at least three hundred sixty five stories to provide the readers with at least one positive daily inspiration for the whole year.
