A renovated landmark showcases Hingham's storied pastBy Laura DeSisto | Photography by Derrick Zellmann
Pictured above: Whimsical figurines by Hingham woodcarver Tim Jumper (above) are displayed in the Hingham Heritage Museum gift shop while the galleries display carefully preserved historical artifacts.
For nearly 200 years the Old Derby Academy building has enjoyed a rather imposing and prominent position atop a steep hill in Hingham's historic square. Constructed in 1818 to house Derby Academy, one of the nation's oldest co-educational schools, the building was purchased by the Hingham Historical Society in 1966 after the academy built their new campus just outside of the downtown area.
"Old Derby" has served as the historical society headquarters since the '60s, but the building had fallen into disrepair and some people, particularly the society's first executive director, Suzanne Buchanan, had a vision for a much-improved building that would include a museum. Thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers and the generosity of board members and other donors, the newly minted Hingham Heritage Museum has emerged from a two-year-long multi-million-dollar renovation and expansion of the Old Derby building.
Well-known local architect and Hingham resident Sally Weston donated her firm's services for the restoration and design of an addition that nearly doubled the size of the museum to just about 9,400 square feet. Many others pitched in on a pro bono basis, including Peter Comrack, Mike Studley, Sean Papich and project manager Mark Cullings.
While the first-floor entrance serves as a gift shop and welcome area, the additional square footage on the second and third floors is where the much-needed exhibit and storage space now showcases the society's extensive collection.
"The society has a collection of nearly 15,000 artifacts that were previously stored off site," says the museum's new executive director, Alexandra Rollins. "This museum will allow us to exhibit and safely house this historically significant collection."
Rollins has an impressive resume as a curator, having worked in the Diplomatic Reception Rooms in the United States Department of State and the Dietrich Foundations, the largest privately owned art collection in the country. Her background has been instrumental in helping the society determine which items belong in the new "Kelley Gallery" – a fully climate-controlled museum-quality space that features a permanent collection of the museum's most important pieces.
On a recent visit to the gallery, Rollins points out a "tall case clock" made in 1750 by clockmaker Samuel Bagnall of Boston. Once owned by Ebenezer Gay, the Unitarian minister of Hingham's Old Ship Church from 1717-1787, the clock was an heirloom handed down through many generations of the Gay family before being donated to the society.
"This beautiful clock is an extraordinary piece of Boston and Hingham history," notes Rollins. "It deserves to be preserved and shared." The museum's second floor also houses an exhibition area dubbed "The Ballroom" – where its debut exhibit "Boxes, Buckets and Toys" (made in Hingham) is currently on display.
"For nearly two centuries, beginning around 1635, woodenware built Hingham's economy," says Rollins. "We are lucky to have a world class collection here."
The exhibit features wooden tubs, pails, boxes and more unusual objects like a "dumb betty" – a rudimentary hand-operated washing machine that was common in Hingham households in the 1700s.
In addition to these utilitarian items, a few items showcase the work of master craftsmen like William Tower, who, in 1867, assembled a cedar bucket out of an astonishing 47,568 individual pieces. Also featured is a collection of handcrafted wooden dollhouse furniture, toys and miniature boxes that were popular souvenirs for wealthy Bostonians who began to vacation in Hingham in the mid-1800s.
As factories began manufacturing machine-made, full-size buckets at lower prices, local craftsmen turned their attention to the miniatures with the encouragement of the Society of Arts and Crafts. The flourishing woodenware industry in Hingham earned it the nickname "Bucket Town." A book by the same name authored by Derin T. Bray can be purchased in the society gift shop.
The historical society's extensive archives are housed in the building's third floor "Academy Reading Room," donated by Hingham residents Andrea and Ed Gillis.
In this space, visitors can sit at long wooden tables and research the archives by appointment. Registrar Michael Achille, whose job is to catalogue every single item, assists with research on request.
The third floor also features climate-controlled spaces that contain the society's large costume and textile collection that includes Civil War uniforms as well as textiles that date back to the 1600s.
The renovated building will continue to serve as the headquarters for the Hingham Historical Society, a non-profit organization that was formed in 1914 and is "dedicated to collecting, preserving, exhibiting and interpreting the history of the town of Hingham, Massachusetts."
The society organizes many community activities and events, including one of the oldest and longest-running historic house tours in the country. The historical society will hold its 93rd tour on October 1.
The group also owns and operates tours of the 1688 Old Ordinary, a home just outside the square that served as a stagecoach stop where travellers could get an "ordinary meal." The Old Ordinary is set up as a house museum with many period artifacts such as kitchen utensils, bed linens, wooden toys and needlework samplers. On weekends during the month of November the society hosts "Candlelight Overcoat" tours of the Old Ordinary that give visitors perspective on cold New England winters with no central heat and electricity.
With a nearly 400-year history and a long list of notable residents including relatives of Abraham Lincoln, the town of Hingham has a past well worth preserving. The Hingham Heritage Museum will ensure that future generations will understand and appreciate their town's rich history.
The Hingham Heritage Museum is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.; archive research is available by appointment.

1. They've been there, done that ... and still do that.
No matter what they may have accomplished in the past, the Heads of Comms who really stand out are never too good to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in with the team. No job is ever too menial, no task ever too unskilled or boring. If the Head of Comms is humble and modest, it means no one feels entitled to anything but the fruits of their hard work.
2. They've built a team culture that's admired.
Heads of Comms are only as effective as the people around them. By making teamwork one of the core company values, and putting a clear emphasis on self-managing teams that are empowered to make their own decisions, a remarkable amount of energy and creativity can be released. The truly outstanding Heads of Comms don't just talk about teamwork – they take an active part in it. They make a focused effort to get to know each member of the team and understand their core values. They show the team the seriousness of their commitment by giving them the authority to get their jobs done on their own terms, while ensuring they accept responsibility for the results. And they don't forget to have fun along the way.
3. They wear their emotions on their sleeves.
Good Heads of Comms are professional. Superstar ones are highly professional too, yet also openly human. They show sincere excitement when things go well. They don't hold back from showing their appreciation for hard work and extra effort. They like to celebrate success. They also get frustrated, they worry and sometimes they get angry. In short, they're human and they are not afraid to acknowledge it. Professionalism is admirable. Professionalism with a healthy blend of humanity is inspiring – and memorable.
4. They lead by permission, not authority.
Yes, 'Head of Communications' is an impressive title to bear. It gives the right to direct others, to make decisions, to organise, to instruct and to discipline. But employees are not motivated by a title; they are inspired by the person – particularly when that person exudes passion, drive and knowledge. The words and actions of a superstar Head of Comms create a work environment in which the team works with and not for that Head of Comms.
5. They have a larger purpose.
A good Head of Comms works to achieve company goals. A memorable one also works to achieve company goals, but on top of this works to serve a larger purpose: to advance the careers of employees, to instill a sense of pride and self-worth in others while throwing themselves into continued learning to better their own skills. They aren't just remembered for nuts and bolts achievements but for helping others on a personal and individual level. They know that business is personal and that success is a journey. They may be in a senior level role, but there is always more to learn to back up their expertise and maintain the edge that makes them stand out in a crowd.
What do you think are the qualities that make a superstar Head of Comms?
The Works specialise in placing high flyers in PR and corporate communications. We have a strong track record of placing with professional services and offer career-making advice. Do get in touch if you would like our support building your team.

Technical Breakthroughs in Web Development
A lot of people mistakenly believe that the heyday of technical breakthroughs in web development is over. That the newer changes will not be as ground shaking as the breakthroughs in the past.
Well there is always room for improvement and frankly some of the web development breakthroughs in the last 5 years have been pretty astounding.
Here are some recent web development breakthroughs that may have slipped right by you:
- Responsive Web Design
- Speed Optimization
- CMS (content management systems)
- Social Media Marketing
- Analytics
The largest breakthrough in web design has by far been the ability to create websites using responsive web design. Responsive web design has enabled your website to be viewed the same whether a visitor is on a mobile device or their desktop. Before responsive web design either you had to have two separate websites created one for mobile devices and one for the PC.
80% of mobile device users expect that your website will look the same on their mobile device as it does on their desktop.
At one point (not too long ago) a CMS was not really necessary, today it is absolutely necessary. Content Management Systems have become much more user friendly and are typically a part of all web design. At one point in time you paid someone to manage your content because it could not be done by a lay person.
The integration of Social Media is also a huge leap in web design. People are now very aware of the benefit of offering the ability to log in using their social media credentials. This too was not only not available a decade ago but it also was likely not really thought about as a future possibility.
Analytics (such as Google Analytics) has also come a long way. How we track who is visiting, where they came from and other demographic information has become a lot easier and a lot more accurate. Easy to use analytics has given us the ability to understand our marketing efforts like never before. There is an entire culture that has been built around developing very usable Analytics.
The changes may not get the same attention that they use to get but there are technical breakthroughs in web development that are constant. Perhaps we have just taken them for granted and assume that that is the way things should always have worked so we just do not pay attention as much!

Perhaps I have not right to comment as such, but it sort of reminds me of one of the Celtic languages. Would you know the underlying conculture for the basis of the conlang?

When a client ignores the payment terms on the invoice you sent and takes a long time to pay up, you can send a polite reminder to the client in case he simply forgot to pay. If you receive no response after sending the reminder, consider giving the client a call – phone calls are harder to ignore.
The next step is to hire a lawyer to write a formal demand letter and send it to the client to let him know that you're serious about collecting the payment. When all else fails, it's time to take the client to court. When you do this, you'll likely lose this client forever, so you have to make sure that you can afford the risk.
Alternatively, you may consider offering a discount to clients who pay early as a strategy to reduce late payments.

A Potential Earner May Already Be a HubPages Earner If...
Having a map does not necessarily mean it leads you to the exact destination it mentions - the map may be wrong because of mistyping. This is true in the case of websites that claim ONLY to earn you money for your efforts but nothing else. But every rule has an EXCEPTION and this is where HubPages comes into the game. HubPages not only proposes like what other sites claim but, in addition, shows you a PROVEN-WAY of utilizing your talent of writing.
I, a new comer, have developed a 'mind-set' that I'll earn with HubPages. HOW? If every new Hubber - new HubPages member - may read about 'reviews' of HubPages, learn the 'start page resource' on HubPages, and understand the 'revenue-generating' programs on the site, they are on track to becoming a guaranteed HubPages Earner. No one will earn for you but yourself; be only a CONTRIBUTING one!

1 Virtual IT in the Cloud By Mike Pellegrino, who is the former CIO at Sun Products, CIO at Frontier Communications, VP of IT at FujiFilm Holdings America and now a strategic IT consultant and President of Progressive Technology. What is the Cloud? The common definitions include services which are generally divided into three categories: Infrastructure-asa-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a- Service (SaaS). But the term Cloud encompasses a whole lot more from a myriad of companies who sell Cloud services and solutions that may be slightly different interpretations of the terms. Also, some Cloud services might be described as public, private or enterprise. Again, descriptions and perspectives vary. All of these are good interpretations of what the Cloud is and for many situations they make good sense. Many companies have already taken the IT Cloud Service plunge and benefitted from it or learned valuable lessons from the experience. The Cloud continues to grow dramatically and it is evolving into what I see as Virtual IT in the Cloud for businesses. What I mean is that for much of what typical IT departments do today can be performed quite well in the Cloud better, cheaper and faster! The Cloud enables economies of scale and aspects of performance, reliability and elasticity that many companies cannot afford to do themselves or don t have the time and resources to build, especially if they are behind in their technology landscapes. There might not be enough runway to effectively catch up to where they need to be. The Cloud can help dramatically reduce the time to implement in such cases. So, what does Virtual IT in the Cloud mean? In my view it combines the common Cloud services into virtual IT functions that can be used as extensions of traditional IT organizations or services that are tightly integrated and seamless to the businesses they support. This is especially true as companies transition to or add Cloud services to their existing enterprise technology architecture where some of their technology is mixed between on premise internally supported, outsourced and/or in the Cloud. A simple example is something like the ecosystem of service offerings around SalesForce.com. There are hundreds of tools and services that seamlessly integrate data and specific functions without the need to build a heavily customized solutions. Nowadays it s easy to spin up servers in the Cloud or buy software as a service solutions but integration and overall management are still the keys to success. As the Virtual IT Cloud continues to evolve the integration will become more seamless and easier to manage. Here s the concept if my company and the companies I do business with are using the same software/service our interaction in the form of standard transactions should be handled seamlessly and without the need for complex customized Peter Duflo Managing Partner Strategic Ventures (MRINetwork) Single Source IT Recruiting Permanent & Contractors Every month I ask a thought leader from our Ambassador Group to contribute an article explaining new information technologies such as Cloud Applications, Infrastructure, Managed Services, Business Intelligence, Analytics, Big Data, Security, Mobility and Healthcare services.

Our roster of satisfied clients includes multinational corporations, mid-cap and emerging companies. Opportunities also abound for Cloud technology companies to take advantage of the growing need for Cloud services and look beyond basic services to provide more value-add that solves the integration and management of different Cloud services into more complete solutions for businesses.

14 of the Best Wedding Venues in London
Wedding season is here! Whether you're planning sophisticated city nuptials, a whimsical garden reception or a laid-back pub celebration, London actually offers something for everyone. Here is our guide to wedding venues in the city – your Pinterest dreams can come true after all…
The Sheraton Grand London Park Lane
Green Park (0.4 miles)
What: An 'Early-Moon' Wedding Stay
Why: Sheraton Grand London Park Lane know how to pull off the perfect wedding. They've just started a year-long partnership with award-winning luxury wedding lifestyle blog, B.LOVED, for various wedding workshops, a 'wedding trends' afternoon tea and an 'early-moon' wedding stay package. Start your wedding experience off with a stay in the hotel's Art Deco Grand Suite and wake up overlooking Green Park before toasting the occasion with cocktails from the Golden Age of Cocktails menu. Add-ons like a mani/pedi and wet shave are also available, as is a professional photoshoot just over the road in Green Park.
Where: Sheraton Grand London Park Lane, Piccadilly, London, United Kingdom
Website: www.sheratonparklane.com
Brown's Hotel
What: Historic Mayfair Luxury
Why: Nestled on a quiet, elegant street in Mayfair, Brown's Hotel is the epitomy of Mayfair luxury. Licensed for both marriages and civil partnerships, the iconic hotel offers 3 beautiful rooms catering up to 120 guests, including The Roosevelt Room (in honour of the American President himself who stayed at the hotel before marrying Edith Kermit Carow in 1886), The Niagara Room, which connects to adjacent Roosevelt for larger parties, and The Clarendon Room, a breath-taking setting with ornate Victorian ceilings and crystal chandeliers – The Handbook's favourite. And with food from world-renowned chef Mark Hix, what more can you ask for?
Where: Albemarle Street, Mayfair, London, W1S 4BP, United Kingdom
Website: www.roccofortehotels.com
1 Lombard Street
Bank DLR Station (0 miles)
What: A City Retreat
Why: Head to the City come the weekend and you'll suddenly find yourself in a serene, historic enclave of glorious architecture, ideal for those picture perfect wedding photo backdrops. 1 Lombard Street is at the heart of this calm cityscape-setting, and can host as many as 400 guests standing. The grand dome-shaped skylight floods the reception room with natural light for the daytime portion of the celebration, while in the evening, the flicker of candlelight sets the tone for the first dance.
Where: 1 Lombard Street, London, EC3V 9AA, United Kingdom
Website: www.1lombardstreet.com
Princess Victoria
What: A Neighbourly Setting
Why: A favourite among West Londoners, the Princess Victoria is known for its friendly staff, grand Victorian décor and top-notch food and wine. If you're after an intimate wedding day, but have a large guest list, this is where the PV (as it's known amongst locals) comes into its own. Providing personal touches and charm by the bucketload, the gorgeous palatial pub can hold up to 140 seated and 280 standing. And to top it off, the head chef is renowned for making beautiful bespoke wedding cakes, so you won't have to employ a wedding planner to manage a host of third parties.
Where: 217 Uxbridge Road, London W12 9DH, United Kingdom
Website: www.princessvictoria.co.uk
The Petersham
Richmond (0.8 miles)
What: Stunning Views
Why: If you want a scenic wedding in London then look no further than The Petersham. Perched high up on Richmond Hill, the hotel has sweeping views of the Thames and lush meadows below – the ideal backdrop to your wedding photos. The Victorian building is packed with character, with an impressive sweeping staircase, huge chandeliers and marble floors but the view is what separates it from the rest. Tie the knot in an intimate ceremony for 30 of your nearest and dearest in the River Room before stepping out onto your own private terrace for Champagne and canapés.
Where: The Petersham Hotel, Nightingale Lane, Richmond, TW10 6UZ
Website: www.petershamhotel.co.uk
Corinthia Hotel London
London Charing Cross (0.1 miles)
What: 5-Star Luxury
Why: For a luxurious wedding to remember, you'll want to celebrate the day in one of Corinthia's 4 unique settings. Let the dedicated wedding team take control of everything from the cake to the flowers, delivering everything with the standard you'd expect of a 5-star hotel or say 'I Do' in a church nearby and head over for your reception. Nothing here is overlooked – you can even request to use the penthouse suite as the setting for your photos. Sweeping views of London and first class service – what's not to love?
Where: Whitehall Place, Westminster, SW1A 2BD
Website: www.corinthia.com
The Lady Ottoline
What: Charming and Quirky Pub
Why: This utterly charming Bloomsbury pub and dining room offers a quirky setting for your wedding day. In the winter, sup champagne (or one of The Lady O's signature martinis) in front of their open wood-burning fire before heading upstairs to enjoy refined British cooking in their cosy yet delightfully elegant dining room. The friendly, knowledgeable events team provide a personal service, helping you plan the big day from the very beginning, recommending everything from spectacular wedding cakes to bespoke bridal wear and their
favourite London florists, while the experienced kitchen create a personal tasting, feasting or sublime set menu for you and your guests to enjoy.
Where: 11A Northington Street, London WC1N 2JF, United Kingdom
Website: www.theladyottoline.net
Launceston Place
What: Best for Foodies
Why: Launceston Place is nestled on a quaint, quiet street in the heart of Kensington. An old town house, the dining room is a quirky, charming space offering intimacy and personality for smaller gatherings. With a myriad of attractive churches within close proximity and two tubes within walking distance for guests, this venue is for foodies, serving simply stunning, refined British fare and a remarkable selection of fine wine and champagne. The apricot soufflé with apricot brandy sorbet is reason enough to have your reception here.
Where: 1a Launceston Place, London, W8 5RL, United Kingdom
Website: www.launcestonplace-restaurant.co.uk
What: The A-List Wedding Venue
Why: As luxurious and extravagant as it gets, Claridges has played host to model Poppy Delevingne and her family the night before her wedding, as well as seeing Lara Stone and David Walliams say I do in the ballroom. The lavish Mayfair hotel is able to accommodate the entire event, from the marriage ceremony through to dinner, drinks and the evening reception. Perfect for intimate affairs and large society weddings alike, they boast several stunning event spaces so you're sure to find a room that suits you.
Where: Brook Street, Mayfair, London, W1K 4HR, United Kingdom
Website: www.claridges.co.uk
Trinity House
Tower Hill (0.1 miles)
What: A Venue With History
Why: If anyone knows weddings, Henry VIII did, so who better to take influence from when picking your wedding venue. The Casanova of the 16th Century granted the Corporation of Trinity House a Royal Charter in 1514, the same corporation that finds its headquarters in Trinity House today. If you are looking for beauty, than look no further than this neoclassical building to host your special day. Featuring several elegant state rooms, overlooking the Tower of London (another favourite haunt of Henry's) and the River Thames, this is the venue for those who want a wedding with a spritz of history.
Where: Trinity House, Tower Hill, London, EC3N 4DH, United Kingdom
Website: www.trinityhouse.co.uk
Chelsea Physic Garden
What: Magical Garden Setting
Why: Chelsea Physic Garden is one of London's best kept secrets and remains London's oldest botanical gardens. Available to hire for your big day, you can use the lawns for croquet and get in touch with the team to discuss marquee options with their partner companies. One thing's for sure, once the sun has set and the fairy lights are twinkling, you're all set for one hell of a party.
Where: 66 Royal Hospital Road, Chelsea, SW3 4HS
Website: www.chelseaphysicgarden.co.uk
King's Place
What: Award-Winning Contemporary Events Space
Why: Overlooking the waters edge of Regent's Canal in King's Cross, Kings Place not only offers gorgeous views and sleek design but the highest quality event management service to put your mind at rest. They'll cater to your every need from the moment you choose the venue to the second you say 'I do', creating a magnificent, memorable day around your personal preferences and desires. Green & Fortune the award winning caterers provide the catering, delivering everything from canapés and BBQs on the waterside terrace to five-course wedding breakfasts.
Where: Kings Place, 90 York Way, King's Cross, N1 9AG
Website: www.kingsplaceweddings.co.uk
Somerset House
What: Riverside Location
Why: It's enviable location next the River Thames means one thing: awesome wedding day photos (weather dependant…). The renowned London venue offers a diverse and flexible range of rooms and spaces, accommodating between eight and 1,500 guests; perfect if you're very shy or very extravagant! Look up Seamen's Hall, which oozes stately elegance and iconic views.
Where: Strand, WC2R 1LA
Website: www.somersethouse.org.uk
High Road House
What: Boutique Georgian Townhouse
Why: With the charm and grace of a traditional family home, High Road House in Chiswick is a quaint, quirky wedding venue ideal for small to medium-sized parties. With 14 bedrooms for your guests to stay in and private dining rooms perfect for intimate dinners and drinks before and after the big day, the hotel-come-members club makes you feel right at home, eliminating any of those cold feet jitters.

Simplified Your PST Conversion Needs
PST Extractor Pro
"PST Extractor Pro" is a tool to convert the PST files (data files for Windows Outlook) into other formats, predominantly for the email clients for Mac OS. It can convert the PST files to databases for Apple Mail, Entourage, Thunderbird, Postbox, and to files such as MBOX and EML files. The tool also supports automatic conversion of contacts and calendar files to VCF files and ICS respectively.

Luxembourg charity Fondation Partage to launch new campaign
Charity formerly known as Bridderlech Deelen seeks to motivate people to think about impact their quality of life can have on others and the environment
Have you changed the world today?
That is the question Fondation Partage, the Luxembourg charity formerly known as Bridderlech Deelen, will put to people living in the Grand Duchy as part of a new fundraising campaign that launches on 14 February.
The campaign, which will run until 1 April, aims to motivate people to think about the impact their quality of life can have on others and the environment.
Sophie-Anne Schaul, one of the organisers at Fondation Partage, said: "We want people to take a critical look at their own way of living, such as consumption, time management, personal priorities, relationships and interactions with the people around them.
"We want to challenge people about the consequences of their own lives on the quality of life of others, and to motivate them to act.
"If a lot of small people in a lot of small places do a lot of small things, they can change the world."
Patage.lu will also be inviting people to support the foundation's development projects through donations to its partner organisations in Africa, Latin America and India.
Projects worldwide
The projects the charity funds are wide-ranging.
In Mali, some 80 young men and women formerly "hanging idly around in the streets" are being trained as mechanics, plumbers and hairdressers, as well as in agro-food processing.
In Brazil, the charity supports the indigenous Goiás and Tocantins people to guarantee the right to their territories, integrating women into the political decision-making process and training leaders of indigenous communities in legal procedures and the public policy of Brazil towards its native peoples.
In India's southern state of Kerala, the foundation supports the Archana Women's Centre, training women in legal literacy, supporting victims of abuse or discrimination and raising awareness among young people.
Partage.lu receives subsidies of up to 80% of funding for its projects from the Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs (MAEE) in Luxembourg, but it must raise the other 20% of funds.
It has created packages related to each project that are available on the charity's website.
People can make specific donations to a country or a project.
For India, for example, a donation of €15 will allow one person to join the Life Skill Education course. For €25, a woman can take a computer course, and for €75, you can pay for a woman to train in masonry.
"People can also choose to just give a donation that will be used where it is most needed," Schaul said.
Differing quality of life
In addition to posters, Fondation Partage has put together 16 short video interviews with local partner organisations and committed Luxembourgers asking the question "What does having a good quality of life mean to you?"
The written interviews that accompany the short video clips tackle the themes of health, time, nature, dignified work, freedom, home, peace and community.
"We want these interviews to inspire and motivate everyone to act to create a more just and equitable world," Schaul said.
Fondation Partage celebrated its 50th birthday in 2016 when it also adopted a new name and logo.
Formerly known as Bridderlech Deelen, meaning 'brotherly sharing', the charity decided to modernise the name, making it gender neutral and easier for partner organisations in Asia, African and Latin America to recognise and say.
"It's a new name and logo, but we maintain the same values," Schaul said.
Volunteer or donate
The charity is supported by a team of five people who manage projects, communications, accounting and education for sustainable development and fundraising, sometimes in co-operation with other NGOs and platforms in Luxembourg and Europe.
You can find out more about its projects, donate or register for the charity's HOPE newsletter

Karen Williams, the rock goddess of freeform peyote, and the lovely Mandi Ainsworth, who's quite the rock star with a freeform herself, have put together a challenge.
Since I'm over my self-imposed challenge hiatus, and because I have the impulse control of a two-year-old when it comes to freeform, I jumped right in.
Today, I looked at the calendar and realized that the reveal is a week from tomorrow. A week from tomorrow, y'all!!!!
My impulse control is only outdone by my tendency to commit to big projects, which leads to one of those "eyes bigger than your stomach" conundrums. The project I've envisioned, the one I've got underway, may be bigger than the time I have left to do it.
Thank goodness it's a long weekend. The massive housecleaning I had planned (HAHAHAHA - snort!) will just have to wait. There are beads to be woven, folks!
Will she get it done? Will her house disappear under a tidal wave of dust bunnies and dirty laundry? This will, indeed, be an adventure. Stay tuned...
