一年前と　まったくおんなじようなことが続いていますねえ。　地位協定はきっちりとみなおしたんでしょうか。

さてさて　今日は八丁堀で「雨が降るんかねえ」と声を交わしながら　ビッグイシューを買いました。

 

ビッグイシューは1991年にロンドンで生まれ、日本では2003年9月に創刊しました。ホームレスの人の救済（チャリティ）ではなく、仕事を提供し自立を応援する事業です。

例えば大阪では野宿生活者の約7割が働いており、過半数の人は仕事をして自立したいと思っています。『ビッグイシュー日本版』は働き収入を得る機会を提供します。
詳しくは販売のしくみをご覧ください。

1.民間の力を強める社会的企業

社会的企業とは、ビジネスの戦略と手法で社会問題の解決にチャレンジする企業のことです。ビッグイシューは事業性に賭けて、NPOではなく“有限会社”を選びました。大きく事業をすることは、ホームレスの仕事をたくさんつくることだからです。また、販売者は私たちの代理店、ビジネスパートナーであり、自営業者なのです。企業の社会的責任活動（CSR）を展開する多くの日本の企業と連携して、ホームレス問題の解決を手はじめに社会再生キャンペーンを行い、民間の力による社会改革と社会運営を進めたいと考えています。

2.路上の雑誌販売、四重苦に挑戦

ビッグイシュー日本は100％失敗するといわれました。日本では、1.若者の活字離れ、2.雑誌の路上販売文化がない、3.優れた無料誌が多く有料では買ってもらえない、4.ホームレスからは買わない、という四重苦があるからです。創刊から4年余、多くの市民とともに、この常識に挑戦してきました。

3.さわやかな街角コミュニティ

ビッグイシュー販売者には、制服、マニュアルはありません。Act Naturally。マニュアルではない心を込めた「ありがとう」がさわやかな街角コミュニティをつくっている、といわれています。また、販売者の姿に励まされる、という声もよく寄せられます。

4.ホームレス、自立への3つのステップ

自立は人それぞれ、人の数だけかたちがあります。私たちは、自立とは自らの力で生活を立てているという“自覚”と“誇り”ではないかと考えています。自立へ、私たちは次の3つのステップを考えています。
第１ステップ 簡易宿泊所（1泊千円前後）などに泊まり路上生活から脱出
（１日20～25冊売れば可能に）
第２ステップ 自力でアパートを借り、住所を持つ
（1日30～35冊売り、毎日1,000円程度を貯金、7～8ヶ月で敷金をつくる）
第３ステップ 住所をベースに新たな就職活動をする
今、販売者の多くは第２ステップに挑戦中です。

5.特定非営利活動法人ビッグイシュー基金

自立の第2、第3ステップを支援するため特定非営利活動法人ビッグイシュー基金で、市民が市民をサポートする“再チャレンジ”応援事業を行います。
社会とのつながりを回復できる生活自立や就業トレーニング、生きる喜びを感じられるスポーツ・文化活動、ホームレス問題の解決や予防について市民とともに協力する市民参加の3つの応援事業を行います。（詳細はビッグイシュー基金サイトにて）

6.失敗しても再チャレンジしやすい社会へ

ホームレスと若者に共通性？ それは、ともに仕事がないこと。大卒者の就職率は60.8％（2010年）、しかも3年後に34％が離職、非正規雇用者は男性20.1％、女性54.6％と男女とも2011年には過去最高を更新しています。
若者にとっての仕事は、スキルとキャリアを積むことで具体的に社会へ参加できる機会でもあります。チャンスを与えないで使い捨て、社会参加の機会をつくれない社会に未来はあるのでしょうか。NPOビッグイシュー基金とともに、何度でも再チャレンジができる社会の創造に貢献したいと思います。

 

Children in Gaza

Children in Gaza describe living under Israeli siege and attacks as worse than being in prison.   Nour Samaha Last Modified: 23 Nov 2012 21:17

UN Committee on the Rights of the Child said that recent fighting will result in "deep trauma" for Gaza's youth [Reuters]

BEIT LAHIYA, GAZA - The only protection the Awajaa family has against the Israeli rockets is a thin tarpaulin, stretched out over a small plot of land. The tent, where they have been living on and off since their house was turned to rubble in the 2008-09 Israeli war on Gaza, is one of the first houses on the border, located a mere few hundred meters away from Israel. “We are the first people to be attacked, and we are the people who can’t escape, as it is just empty lands around us,” said 15-year-old Omsiyat, the eldest of seven children. Omsiyat considers her family and neighbours also to be victims of Israeli aggression, as their proximity to the border forces them to be one of the most vulnerable targets of attacks. “This is not a victory, because [the Israelis] are destroying Gaza,” she said. “Yes, we scared them, but they still inflicted damage on us. This is not how we have a victory. “We did not get two centimetres from Israel. How is this a victory?” ‘I don’t want to die’ The Israeli attacks on Gaza, which lasted eight days and came to an end with an Israeli-instigated ceasefire on Wednesday evening, killed a total of 162 Palestinians, including more than 40 children. In Omsiyat’s opinion, the armed resistance, while having made some achievements, also put civilians in a very dangerous situation, making them the largest casualties of the war. "We are older than our age because we have to take care of each other in these situations. There are definitely psychological consequences to what has been happening to us.” - Sana Al Daaour, 13   “I don’t want to die, and I don’t want anyone else to die, and there is a strong possibility we can be killed.” While Gaza is often described as an open-air prison due to the crippling siege imposed by Israel, she says the word "prison" is not enough. “If there was a stronger word than prison, then this is where we are. In a prison you can move around, here you cannot,” she said. “If you are in a prison, you do not get bombed. Here we are in a prison and we get bombed.” Awajaa, Omsiyat’s mother, described how her children would clamber on top of her as the missiles fell around them, too afraid to sleep. Four-year-old Zakriyat would cry all the time, insisting her parents lie next to her. Ten-year-old Hala spent most of the time under a blanket. Three-year-old Layali would be too afraid to move from the bed to the kitchen for food. Six-year-old Diaa, who suffers from hearing and speech problems as a result of the 2008-09 war, has started wetting the bed. “Diaa keeps asking if the new home we get will be bombed,” she said. “He keeps asking us to tell the Israelis not to hit our new home.” ‘They were more scared’ For 11-year-old Khadra Al Daaour and her five siblings, the fear and sleepless nights were bearable knowing the Israelis were more afraid than they were. “We tried to make ourselves calm, we would draw, we would write, we would make our mother tell us funny stories,” she said. “Of course we were scared, but the Israelis were more scared. “This makes us feel stronger, and pushes us forward.” Her 13-year-old sister Sana was keen to point out the situation for the children of Gaza is unique in comparison to children elsewhere in the world. For her, they are forced to mature beyond their years. “We are older than our age because we have to take care of each other in these situations,” she said, explaining that despite this fact, there are still psychological issues as a result. “There are definitely psychological consequences to what has been happening to us.” “Some of my friends get so stressed because of the situation, they don’t stop talking until they’ve completely emptied their thoughts. They just want to get rid of everything inside,” she described. “Others stop talking altogether.” For Khadra, the best distraction is to write and to draw. “I write poems, and I draw,” she said. “Tanks, planes in the sky, children escaping, our resistance carrying guns, these are all things we draw.” “Right now, we’re making fun of the fact the Israelis were more scared than us,” she said giggling. An abnormal situation Mustafa El Masri, a psychiatrist who works with the World Health Organisation, said in such hostile and abnormal situations, it is important for parents and teachers to keep talking to the children, explain to them what is going on, and listen to what they have to say. “Depending on the age of the child, parents need to explain what is going on in very honest terms, and to correct misconceptions rather than impose certain views,” he said. Follow the latest developments in the ongoing conflict “The culture here is very advanced in the concepts of liberation, self-determination, and right to exist ... therefore, the more parents are aware of this, and transmitting this to their children, the more the children understand and can remain calm.” There are two stages of reaction after such hostilities; the biological, which focuses on self-preservation, and the ‘meaning-making’ stage, where children attempt to digest and understand what has happened, what their role is, and why they are in such a place. “At the moment, what we see is a ‘normal’ reaction towards the war, such as the inability to sleep, being afraid, and apprehensive,” El Masri said. “If this persists beyond the shock stage, then it needs to be looked into professionally.” For him, the most important is that parents do not lie to their children, as this is the moment when children are attempting to build their own concepts and values. “Children in Gaza are not naïve like children in other countries,” he said. “They are very politically aware. Parents should listen to them and answer their questions, no matter how difficult.” He was keen to point out that having open discussions with children does not equate to normalising conflict and war. “It is not normal that a person, with his children, be targeted by bombs and simply vanish,” he said. “But it is normal to learn how to prevent it. What we are doing here is coping with an abnormal situation.” Omsiyat, who wants to be a journalist when she grows up, knows the experiences they have shared among themselves as children will remain with them forever. “We think and we talk about everything else in the world, but the one thing that connects us all together is war,” she said.

少しのゆとりをいただいて帰りました

今年はカープがさえなかった分　サンフレッチェががんばってくれましたネ。

でも、町中は静かですねえ。

　　今日は朝から　社会福祉士会の　食事と相談会でカレーつくりの手伝い、ほかのスタッフよりも早く食事をごちそうになったあと、自助グループのミーティングに参加、少しはまた　ゆとりをいただいて帰りました。　降られるかなと思っていた雨も上がって万歳。

広島がＪ１初優勝　２位仙台敗れ、最終節待たず決定

　創設から２０年の節目を迎えたサッカーのＪリーグ１部（Ｊ１）は２４日、リーグ発足の１９９３年から参加しているサンフレッチェ広島が初優勝を果たした。本拠の広島ビッグアーチで、セレッソ大阪を４―１で破った。２位の仙台が新潟に０―１で敗れたため、１２月１日の最終節を残して勝ち点を４差とし、逆転される可能性がなくなった。西日本のクラブが年間王者となるのは、２００５年のガンバ大阪以来、２チーム目。

　広島は９４年に第１ステージで優勝したが、年間王者は初。Ｊリーグ創設時の１０クラブでは唯一、Ｊ１、ナビスコ杯、天皇杯の「３大タイトル」と無縁だったが、初めて頂点に立った。ＯＢの森保一監督（４４）は、就任１年目での快挙。

　現行の１ステージ制になった２００５年以降、最終節を待たずに優勝を決めたのは、１０年の名古屋以来２チーム目。９月１５日に３度目の首位に立って以降、一度もその座を譲らなかった。
