Hi everyone, reposting with updated sound. Thank you! War vets speak of the images, sounds and smells that continue to haunt them. Many speak of nightmares, flashbacks and periods of crippling grief. So too, millions of children are being raised in the chaos of war. Living in violent, terrorized environments and experiencing such horrors as destruction of their homes, and the death of parents, siblings, neighbours and friends. In 1996, Graça Machel, former wife of Nelson Mandela, released a UN report entitled “The Impact of War on Children,” bringing international attention to the subject among policy makers and academics. The ten recommendations made in the report have become guiding principles to aid war-affected children. Advancements have been made by the international community to address issues of security, displacement and human rights monitoring, but less support has come to the psychosocial and educational needs of war-affected children. The relationship between exposure to war trauma and development of acute stress disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is well documented. Without the support of the international community, most of these children will carry these heavy emotional burdens into adulthood. Psychological trauma is invisible. War is a reality for these children, but there are ways to help them handle the stress. It is crucial to war-affected children's emotional health that child psychology specialists are included in the humanitarian efforts to provide aid to war-torn populations. Here's one way to help... Support the MINDS Act to Protect Children's Mental Health Globally The Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act (H.R.3988/S.2105) is bipartisan and the first-ever piece of legislation that would promote mental health and psychosocial support as a key component of U.S. foreign assistance. Today, the mental health of children living in conflict is more at-risk than ever. More than 14% of children worldwide are estimated to have a mental health disorder. But less than 1% of funding on global health goes to address children's mental health and well-being. Urge Congress to pass the MINDS Act by visiting https://www.unicefusa.org/help/advoca... for info on how to send a message to Congress Much Love, Trina

Thank you for the love MacGuyver Mode

Thank you Maximillian ❤️

In an effort to educate the public and help those affected, Today,June 27 has been named PTSD Awareness Day. There are so many people across the globe suffering silently with PTSD. As the causes of PTSD can be many , this short film touches on the impact of war on children. This was a collaborative project and I am so grateful for all of the time and effort that was given by all to get it completed during PTSD Awareness Month. The timing of this project could not have been more perfect as currently the MINDS Act bill has been reintroduced to Congress The Mental Health in International Development and Humanitarian Settings (MINDS) Act (H.R.3988/S.2105) is bipartisan and the first-ever piece of legislation that would promote mental health and psychosocial support as a key component of U.S. foreign assistance. Today, the mental health of children living in conflict is more at-risk than ever. More than 14% of children worldwide are estimated to have a mental health disorder. But less than 1% of funding on global health goes to address children's mental health and well-being. Urge Congress to pass the MINDS Act by visiting MINDS Act | UNICEF USA for info on how to send a message to Congress to pass this Bill 😉 Thanks guys!

My second tribute to a great legend in Musical Theatre, Stephen Sondheim, American composer and lyricist.

Just a fun little inspired Winter video

Beautiful Prudence 🙂

As most of you know we lost a great legend in Musical Theatre, Stephen Sondheim, American composer and lyricist. I know there are a few of you that might not love the theatre *winks* but I believe that every single soul has something special to give to the world if we are open to taking a moment to dig a little deeper then comes an appreciation perhaps even an inspiration for what the person is all about. Once again, this project started from a single photo that I've submitted to FOCUS Magazine as they are celebrating Sondheim this month. I knew that if I was going to get the right photo I needed to take a little time to research everything about him. And the more I learned the more I felt connected to a couple of his songs. The first being '"Send in the Clowns". Honestly , In my younger years I kind of considered it a pretty corny song. I never really had taken the time to truly listen , it’s a lament sung by Desirée—the “sadder but wiser girl,” to her former lover Fredrik, who she hopes will take her up on her offer to rekindle their affair after years apart and despite his marriage to another. But the musical itself, inspired by the Ingmar Bergman film “Smiles of a Summer Night” and set in 1900 Sweden, doesn’t feature a single clown. If you’re in the circus and there’s an accident—say the trapeze artist falls down—they would ‘send in the clowns’ to distract the audience, I don’t think people get that, intellectually, but part of ‘Send in the Clowns’ is: this is a bad situation, how can we distract from it?” It may be an atypical bit of imagery for a love song, but the element of surprise is what gives the work of Sondheim its distinctive identity. And whether or not the use of a circus as a metaphor for love resonates, the song conveys a deep sense of yearning with its questioning lyrics. It’s something of a torch song, I think it’s clearly romantic. It’s not quite an unrequited love, but a love that, for some reason, was unable to survive. It’s not anger—‘you done me wrong’—it’s more wistful, regretful. The love may still be there, but this relationship is not going to work out. Sondheim described the character of Desirée as “one of the most complicated people in the play. These are not fairy tale characters. We all know a Desirée, we all know a Fredrik—we know all these people in the show, and we can identify ourselves in at least two or three of them.”For whatever reason, he added, “Send in the Clowns” engages people, however unexpectedly that might be. “That’s the magic of songs, sometimes.” Ok, so that's the first song of Sondheim's. The second one you'll just have to wait for the next video. I promise nothing sappy and it well leave a smile on your face 🙂 As far as filming went , my camera was really lagging so I apologize if there are a few bumps through out. It's hit and miss when working in a virtual world thousands of feet up in the sky .:-)
