Back home after 6 months in Tanzania

      Its amazing how fast time went by during the last 6 months. From arriving in an African country that was totally new to me, to leaving a city that has been my temporary home and where I worked and lived.

      These 6 months have been a great experience in several aspects. It’s been great to have the chance to work as an intern in the World Food Programme. It has been impressive to see huge ocean vessels come into Dar es Salaam port and discharge thousands of tons of food. It has been touching to hear stories of beneficiaries, and it has given me a sad feeling to see how many people still rely on daily food rations that have been handed out by WFP in the refugee camps. But, it’s also motivating  to see that WFP logistics also manages to get the food to the camps, 1200 kilometres from Dar port, while the railway has been swept away after excessive rain.

      In all aspects, an unforgettable experience on the ground, in the field and in the middle of the logistics operations. Thank you TNT and WFP!

      I like to be a customer of brands like your who have social responsibility and that looks for the benefit of the others sponsoring Organizations, but you should ask to them their reports about waht they do with your money. I could verify this when I visited Honduras the high level of corruption inside the WFP, the bad management of thier highest Executives they handle the program like thier own business and the worst part is that they have a network of corrupt personnel,why dont you ask for the tranparency of the funds?, you gave it, I gave it too.

      Moncler Gamme Bleu series seems to be bound up with bike culture. This not only shows in its design but also the pattern printed in the clothes. In this series, designer put in leggings to match some clothes. This point arouses great controversy in public. It is common that ladies wear leggings to match their long shirts or short dresses. If a man put on a legging, he looks a little feminization. Somebody do not agree with this. They thought men also should be fashionable. Wearing leggings is not the right of ladies, but also the fashion of men`s. In recent years, many clothes have been more neutralize. Men are paying more and more attention to their dressing. Creations in men`s dressing are more and more diversified. Fashion is such kind of thing that at first it will arouse controversy and with acceptance from more and more people it will be popular. Maybe one day there will be more neutralized clothes that men and women can try together.http://www.BuyMoncler.net/
