The Media Legal Defence Initiative (MLDI), the UK-based organization which supports initiatives to enhance the legal knowledge, skills and effectiveness of those working in the field has announced a funding opportunity to support NGOs around the world. NGOs working for legal assistance or litigation activities which safeguard or advance media freedom can submit proposals for funding support.
MLDI is working to elp build a strong global legal defence network for independent media and it is makes grants to support organizations and projects delivering legal support to journalists. Currently MLDI funds a small number of organizations based in Southeast Asia, Central Asia, Central Europe, Africa and Central and South America. The aim is to expand this network and achieve better local-level access to legal assistance for independent media outlets, journalists and bloggers who lack the financial means to access legal support at commercial rates.
MLDI is open to grant proposals from national organizations to pursue one or both of the following activities:
- Provide legal assistance for independent journalists or media outlets who face legal proceedings because of their work;
- Engage in strategic litigation to bring local law and practice in media cases in line with international standards on freedom of expression.
Priority will be given to proposals that respond to a demonstrated need on the ground, increase the geographical coverage of the Media Legal Defence Initiative and are likely to have a high impact on protecting media freedom.
Grants awarded by MLDI are usually for a 12-month period and range in size between GBP5,000 and GBP25,000.

Please invite your friends and family to become part of this project by subscribing to our Indian Missing children, it will help us find missing children much faster.
You can make an impact in protecting India’s most precious resources – our children and offer hope to families who know that the search will not end till their child is found. Without your help and support we will not be able to find the missing children. It is impossible for any one person, organization or government to search for the missing children on their own. All of us have to join together and help in the search for missing children. We really need your help in finding these children, to put smiles back on their faces. Let us make a beginning and let us convey to the families of the missing children that never again this crisis will be endured alone. We care and it’s our united efforts that will make the difference. No one suffering the misfortune of a missing child should ever feel and be left to cope alone. Please inform us as soon as possible if you seek any short of information about these missing children.
Please request your friends/colleagues to become a part of this meaningful and fast growing community. Its my humble request to all you people out their to be visit our site as possible so your visit can give shelter to missing children.

Subject: Cordaid fund contribute in creating new form of Slavery in Bangladesh arranging costly flat and Kluger Jeep for rich NGO owners
Dear Madam/Sir
Greetings
Please be informed
Your vision statement
We are an agency that is guided and inspired by the principles from the Catholic social teachings: human dignity, solidarity, subsidiarity (changing society from the bottom up) and the shared responsibility for common goods.
Unfortunately your fund in Bangladesh humiliate human dignity, just booming slavery of youth in new form. Your fund provides facility for Mr. Kabir INDAB, Prodip PGUK or some NGO (Nurturing Grim Optimistically) owner and some other those who functioning as commission agent of CORDAID in Bangladesh. None of your fund is in development track or function for DRR. Mass people desire your urgent action.
These organizations doing nothing but getting fund regularly with the help of some corrupt Caritas Staff. To get the fund ASK-India also contributor cause being monitor or evaluator they completely failed to find the reality. Last November 2011 Ms. Bindiya and Janet of ASK-India visit Bangladesh for monitoring unfortunately they were not capable to realize that Mr. Kabir&Prodip doing nothing in the field staffs are used just to show they do work. And staffs are here have nothing to say about their daily work. As they have no work they are not paid properly and NGO owner cut percentage from their monthly salary. They are here just as slaver. Mr. Kabir arranged river/boat journey for two hours and shown working area (Bedey Community) at night which is just five minutes working distance from the office of Babugonj.
In Bangladesh CordAid provided fund serve only some NGO owner. This is nothing more than enriching Mr. Kabir, Anis & Prodip and some others asset holder. In the same time the fund creating frustration among the youth those who deployed in NGO. Your fund provoking youth to be corrupt (example is Mr. Anis of INDAB, Mr. Kabir claimed that Mr. Anis took away more than crore) and promoting slavery of some youth from Barisal or wherever your fund goes.
Mass people of Barisal opine, under this circumstances please decide your role for those organizations. Note that CMDRR project School Program Officer lost her job being pregnant. I don’t know how you will justify it. This is also true that this position filled only for 5/6 months out of 36. Could you tell me rest money utilized. You could get vivid picture from the staff of PGUK and INDAB. Mass people believe that your valued organization wouldn’t provide fund for continuing or flourishing the corruption of NGO owners.
NB.
01. You must have note that you provide fund to some organization act as local donor aimed at proper utilization of fund they also unable to maintain the fund properly cause most of the NGO owner are corrupt and these corrupt are privileged to get fund from everywhere lobbying by the corrupt Caritas staff. The story is same for other donor like Miserior, AndheriHilfe etc.
02. 90% of present fund receivers directly and indirectly have no work in the field. Unfortunately your monitoring service nothing but a performing yearly schedule. Story of your fund attached here in Bengali.
03. Some of your fund receiving organization’s staff believe having these sorts fatal information you never stop fund rather increase cause you are not lover of justice and supporter of new imperialism.
NGO – Nurturing Grim Optimistically or Nurturing Grim Openly
NGO owner monster, fraudster,
Development worker slaver
Jointly generate disaster for poorer
And mass people are undone, sufferer.
Unfortunately authority deaf and dumb
So called donor or their local agent praised by some leader
Nation caged to so called donor and leader
Civil society! That’s act like a beggar.
Nation to utter – Alas!
Where our savior?
Mass people opine-NGO owner says – Ask not what we elite and powerful can do for you — ask what you can do for we newly elite and powerful with foreign money. Who cares what you bloody fool poorer utter.
NgO owner says – Ask not what we elite and powerful can do for you — ask what you can do for we newly elite and powerful with foreign money. Who cares what you bloody fool poorer utter.
Please be informed………..
NGO worker are highly de-motivated as they are not secured with their job, income, facilities finally unwanted behavior of NGO owner. In Bangladesh one person CEO/ED is owner of NGO and she/he is the all in all for implement any order/rule. She/he is like Royal Bengal tiger of Sundarbans able killed (sacked) anyone anytime. If look at NGOs in Bangladesh we could realize it easily. Having own insecurity individual cannot serve properly. The microfinance program going on in country but it is waiting for blast that might happen anytime. I am not sure about other country.
Yes microfinance earning lot and total facility going to the NGO owner (in different form) and fixed portion going to the PKSF. Under this situation thorough study needed to bring security feeling among the staff. Otherwise all the plan taken by anyone may breed zeoro result.
Please be informed many Europe based organization help developing country effort/NGO strengthen their effort in climate change adaptation. Let’s we ponder on present scenario on fund receiver. Organization might be categorized
01. NGO owner/headed by internationally known personality
02. Missionary linked NGO (by the CARITAS staff)
03. NGO linked with by network with internationally known personality
The reality in the field
01. Internationally known personality have little opportunity to look after her/his work and quality of work is not up to the mark. Because she/he busy with visiting different country to deliver lecture. Totality portrait dire mentality for other to the needed development.
02. Missionary linked organizations do nothing in the field but making report hiring consultant for 1/2 month. Some of them monitored some Indian organization that completed by some newly graduate or incapable to see real happening. But their fund flow is regular being contacted with some corrupt CARITAS staff. Being bearing Christian identity they getting the facility and creating mess in development field.
03. NGO networked with internationally known personality indifference to perform their work as per plan Cause principal organization’s performance quality is not up to the mark.
Considering the above fact there need significant change in funding. EU country and organization must decide their way to fund
a. Whether it for New Imperialism
Or it is in real term climate change adaptation.
Two purpose cannot be served in the same time. We do believe this is the peak time to find real working organization. Let’s first try to survive on earth ie reduce climate changing factor. Aftermath we could decide who will lead the earth.
If there is no drastic action or policy we would on the way to making grave for us and next generation by our own effort.
wish the peace for each creature in universe
Greetings
Nature Rebellious – Look at repeated threat from Nature – Australia, Africa, New Zealand, Myanmar, Brazil, Pakistan, Japan, Thailand and USA. To ensure Rights for all “save a bit, reserve, preserve, conserve resources”. Let’s achieve significant change in mindset, behavior and attitude combat Climate Crisis, Reduce Risk & Poverty, save Bio-diversity – Peace for Humanity. Nature never care super power or poorer, never follow any dictation from any Power Holder or Power Seeker – let’s have care to the nature and be caring to the nature carefully, purposefully.
Extreme events are wreaking havoc on people’s lives and livelihoods in the United States. Communities across the country have endured severe storms, record-breaking temperatures, droughts and flooding – in what appears to be an alarming upward trend in the frequency and intensity of extreme weather. NOAA has already tallied 10 disasters through August 2011, each causing more than a billion dollars worth of damage. What about the other and specially our developing country.
Nature never be bothered super power or poorer – demand absolute Care
We working on theme sasrai,
sasrai-Movement promotes prudent and sustainable use and conservation of resources. Its aimed to animate, activate each individual, family, community, institution, organization to combat Climate Change, Global warming, food, fuel and water security, poverty, disaster, waste, ecosystem and biodiversity etc.
Climate change, climate variability and extremes are affecting our food production and will most challenge our food security. Farmers and extension services have been baffled on ways to address this uncertainty, manage crop production and ensure good harvest. Climate change is a global problem, and yet each one of us has the power to make a difference. Even small changes in our daily behavior can help prevent greenhouse gas emissions without affecting our quality of life. In fact, they can help to save our money.
sasrai is an approach. Way to bring each in thinking-we must save our resources for our old age also for our generation. This and appeal to all –let’s we practice sasrai living, be less consuming. Be keen as less as possible consumption. We must present a habitable earth to our next generation who haven’t exploited any resources from earth.
Each volunteer would have deep in heart – habitable earth for next generation ……….
01. honor for all
02. share the experience/idea honor the differences
03. work and friendship with all dictate none (cause nature never follow dictation)
04. repeated discussion and dialogue
05. get each one in adaptation thinking
06. get each in contributing for nature conservation, rejuvenation, reservation
07. get each in sasrai/sustainable living
08. get each in a feeling save a bit, reserve, preserve, conserve resources
09. let’s start with the least to achieve the greatest
sasrai urges to all – `be environment friendly- sustainable consuming, Eco-efficient’ Try to get each and everybody as subject. We could say `live simple, let’s other simply live.’
sasrai wish to involve each and everybody to think our present global crisis – Climatic impact and adaptation. sasrai believe in contribution of each person, like to have each one as subject and contributor for adaptation. It urges being loving to the future, prudent for next generation. We cannot create hazard for next generation who haven’t commit any sinful act.
We agree present initiative for adaptation needed to be continued at the same time we must get each member of the global community as contributor for mounting problem. sasrai offer the chance to all to be worthy contributor for adaptation.
COP 17 reveal that to tune the businessman or profit maker or money maker is not such a easy matter. Another fact has come out global leader undone in front of money maker. Someone opine leaders are follower of money maker. sasrai doesn’t feel free with blaming. Let’s have significant change in mindset on sasrai living `how much less harming to the nature me and my family’ or `how much less consuming me and my family.’
To ensure Rights for all – save a bit, reserve, preserve, conserve resources
Let’s have zeal to self tune in sasrai-Movement policy and be committed to save resource and reduce solid waste no matter how small it is in our daily living.
Please relentless to voice from each corner across the globe
01. Please, save a drop of water daily, during all water related activities
02. Please, plant at least a Native tree annually at home or community
03. Please, keep off electric appliances one minute daily
04. Please, suspend travel by personal car once a day
