Yeah, that's what I'm talking about! That's the real deal! Way to go girls! Excuse me for my emotional outburst, but I'm happy to finally see a practical entrepreneurial endeavor that works, delivers, and brings results. What we need in the Arab world is that pragmatic approach in both business and social work: Don't give me a fish; instead, teach me how to fish it. We need solutions that work, with lasting rewards; and what a great example has the "Women in Communication" association has given! Good job "Women in Communication" and of course, a big Thank You to the EU.

The best reform for people and organised groups to take is the one before getting into prison. There are many teachings in life that guide us to a better safer community. The law wants that, but in a culture like the one of a Muslim place a good way to use is faith to minimise crime. There are many incidents in Quran and Islam faith calling on brotherhood, human respect and love for each other. Failure at any points, leads human power to restore justice- if not a Divine authority is there to threaten and warn. Precautions should be taken into more consideration than they are now. Not only in a Muslim place like Algeria- but in the World...

Life needs water, Tourism project need water, our descendants need water and projects. Thinking of projects is development, whereas we should think of project that will not affect our environment. We can get tourists in the Sahara in which there is no water as well as in the green places. So, what we need exactly is to let the civil society as well as the authorities know the value of this important element for life. The issue that had been thought about in the European financed project of MEDA WATER by reinforcing information and know-how exchanges.

The Catholic Church in Algiers is one of a testimony of the Euro-Mediterranean coexistence. The African countries’ churches in the Mediterranean still keep their original building from their building in the past centuries. This is Algerian example, as we can observe in Morocco, in which we have churches that have been built in the 19th century, and still keep their style. This shows the coexistence and respect between religions exists from the past decades. The thing that push us to step the steps of our ancestors and respect each other in order to live in the world of peace.

The energy sources have become a strategic bet for the economy of each country. A thing that requires sustained and meaningful discussion in order to maintain compatibility, not only for public authorities, but also to ensure the involvement of civil society. For this reason, the European commission projects tackling energy support the transfer of knowledge in the field between the Mediterranean partner countries like the encouragement of the use of renewable energy.

Abderrahmane NAJI, MoroccoOn: Project afoot to humanize Algerian prisons
I acknowledge that all these efforts to improve the inmates' situation is necessary, at least not to turn a couple of years sentence into a death sentence! But let's get real: what good is there in respecting human rights inside prisons if they are not respected outside? Are we working hard and honestly enough to put citizenship first? To put the respect of the citizen as a human being at the top of our priorities and at the heart of the system? If we don't install real democracy and transparency in our developing countries, being behind or in front of the bars wouldn't make a big difference, because the whole society will end up like a big prison. You see what I mean?

I have read this article with cautious and i was not happy of the approaches being written due i guess to lack of real understanding of current environmental issues we are facing. The problem of pollution will not be tackled only through fundings bec most of the money used is not appropriately used and if ever used we seek the traditional methods the old fashion way. We need to look at alternatives , less costs , better and more sustainable output. Waste problems are derived from mass consumerism and lack of understanding of what our lives should mean to us as far as human values and choices we should take in life. Building waste water treatment is needed but what is more needed is eduation and awereness and return to ethics and values. We can keep dumping money on projects but who would assure me that our resources are being well taken care of and not depleted in a fast way? Where is the concept of sustainibility?

I was discussing that matter with friends just a couple of days ago !! about the effect of the psychological state of a person on his production and success.... it all started when I was reading a book for john gray named "how to get what you want and want what you have" and my eyes fell on this phrase "if you want to be a successful person then you need to be connected to your inside, you need to have inner peace with yourself".the problem is that in our oriental community it's not common to consult a psychiatrist and some people consider it a shame!
