GRID-Arendal is a collaborating centre of the United Nations Environment
Programme (UNEP).
Established in 1989 by the Government of Norway as a Norwegian Foundation,
their mission is to communicate environmental information to policy-makers and
facilitate environmental decision-making for change. (go to site).














(Now, when these decisions wil be taken and who's going to take them...)

"Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural.
It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated
by the actions of human beings." (Nelson Mandela).

The change will be long without everyone's involvment and will,
so take action now
and keep campaigning
to make poverty and poverty's B(log)A(ction)D(ay)... history.

KatuHoria's SlideShows...

There is a beautiful road in the Basque Country...
climbing from Pas de Roland after Itxassou village, following the
Nive river and sneaking across some fairy woods, then leading
up on the Artzamendi (Bear Mountain)...


(KatuHoria)


Pas de Roland.
(oh! mais où est-il donc passé ?)

Philippe Moçotéguy, a Basque
guy, explains what the Basque
Country is...

Don't leave yet, I'm going to show you some streets of Bayonne and a few
other Basque spots around the town... just follow KatuHoria's steps.

KatuHoria in the Basque Country...

The Basque Country is the territory which is historically,
ethnically and culturally Basque.
Spanish and French may call Basque Country (Pays
Basque, País Vasco) only to a portion of the country, not
the whole nation.
Nevertheless, Basques conceive their country as
embracing the area of the traditional seven provinces :
Lapurdi, Nafarroa Beherea and Zuberoa on the French
side, and Bizkaia, Gipuzkoa, Araba and Nafarroa on
the Spanish side.

The Basque name of the Basque Country is Euskal Herria.
The Basque name of G@ttoGiallo is K@tuHoria.

(K@tuHoria recommends a conscientious approach
of the Basque culture before you go farer).
...

Dear PPG Readers, I'm sorry...

I am in the Basque Country having fun with Bidaia...




















and some new local friends :





... but don't worry !
I'll be back one of these days with a lot of basque red&green pics.






















Yours faithful,
K@tuHoria
