What an excellent project. So much hard work has been rewarded. Was there good media coverage?Hope you got the banner back. Lou
ReplyDeleteHi Lou
ReplyDeleteWe did receive some publicity, The Canberra Times ran it on page 3 with a very nice photos, some local papers also ran it as did Aljazeera. I was told that Skynews ran something and possibly Win TV. Of course the image itself deserved to be broadcast to get the message across that Gaza needed to be saved.

Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.

We would love to improve it, whilst the idea of candles initself is not innovative, using 4000 candles for Gaza with a world reknown candle artist is innovative, it would be great if we could find the sponsors to repeat the project with slight modifications in say Rafah, or in Gaza itself. Still, standing up for the oppressed is like swimming against the tide, because the powers that be in our world generally tend to appease the oppressor in the hope of personal material benefit.
ReplyDeleteWe should always make a stand for what is right and just, using tried and tested peaceful means as well as innovative peaceful means.
Thank you for your comment.
Let’s do it again. And again.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready and the artist is ready - let's build a team.
