What happens when people go home??

Now that people from the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps are going home, what happens when they get there?

For 22-years no one has been able to live a normal life. The roads are in disarray, electricy doesn't reach nearly as many villages as it should, homes no longer exist, water pumps are broken or no where to be found, where are the doctors and teachers?

With this change the current programs and aid workers are not the same as what is needed in the IDP camps.

Radio Netherlands Worldwide put out a great article today discussing these problems (click on the photo to check it out)

The Ultimate Activist Playlist

One Beat is currently working on compiling the ULTIMATE Activist's Playlist -- cause I mean really, all that letter writing, life impacting work that we do sure does need a soundtrack!

But for now, I have been listing to this song all day. Lovin' it! (Or perhaps Loves It)

So What Is One Beat Doing Right Now??

Well that is the question on everyone's minds now isn't it??

We'll One Beat's co-founders are reorganizing at the moment, and planning out what we want to do for the fall. We just got the lovely Kay back state side from what I am sure was an amazing trip. And Wesley just found out some great news about being given the opportunity to be a Roadie this fall with Invisible Children.

Myself, I will be, and still am here in Boston looking towards some of the things we hope to accomplish come this September. Some of the big ticket items on the list right now are:

--Premier of the new Invisible Children movie, "GO"
--Boston-wide letter writing campaign
--Principle members in the planning of GuluWalk

We hope to accomplish all this and more. Let us know what you think, or if you want to be added to our mailing list email onebeatmovement@gmail.com



Peace.
