“Hal Araak fi Olaak?” From a new series of posters designed by Ramallah-based Palestinian graphic designer Amer Amin. The picture is an upside-down photograph of torn down olive trees and the Arabic reads, in Amin’s own translation, “Will I ever see my country in good shape again?” and comes from the de facto anthem of Palestine, a poem called “Mawteni,” written in 1934 by Ibrahim Touqan.

I’d be more inclined to watch the cricket if we played these bad asses!
In Kenya, a group of young Maasai warriors from the Laikipia region formed a cricket team with big hopes: to promote healthy living, to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS and women’s issues, and ultimately to become role models in their community and ambassadors for both the Maasai and Kenya. The Maasai Cricket Warriors have been training hard, having recently left their village for the city of Mombasa to attend the Legends Cricket Nursery for further coaching. Their next goal is to travel to South Africa to take part in the Last Man Stands World Championships. The team has an open invitation and is now raising funds to make the trip.
