For more informatino visit: www.nyoyn.com http Nebula is an interactive wall that reacts to touch by means of light. As soon as the wall is touched, it lights up. Different light effects can be created, such as drawings or points of light coming towards the user like little fireflies. Users can play a variety of (educational) games, eg recognising or drawing shapes, numbers and letters. Topographical/geographical applications (eg recognising shapes of countries) and even applications aimed at developing motor skills (eg catching balls) are also part of the possibilities of this interactive game concept. The extraordinary thing about Nebula is that it is fully integrated in its surroundings. The ceiling, the floor and the walls constitute its borders or limits. As soon as the lights extinguish, Nebula looks just like any other normal wall. Despite its size this interactive wall can be integrated in any existing space in a very unobtrusive way. The sheer size of the wall entices children to use the space around them and run, jump, crawl… Nebula also scores high on the sensory scale. The outer layer of the interactive wall is made of translucent canvas, which can be replaced quite easily. This canvas can be printed with your organisation’s logo or it can be made to look like the surrounding area, allowing it to blend in even better

American Red Cross worker Eric Porterfield is currently in Southeast Asia documenting the progress the Red Cross has helped the tsunami affected communities make. Im currently traveling in Asia to a few of the countries affected by the December 2004 tsunami to document how the Red Cross is helping communities recovery and rebuild. My first stop was Indonesia. The northern coast of Sumatra is one of the most picturesque places Ive ever traveled. If it was in the United States the stretch of coast from Banda Aceh to Calang would be nothing but five star resorts and million dollar homes, but these beaches are mostly undeveloped. While traveling from community to community, Ive heard many sad stories as people talk about how the tsunami personally touched their lives. One such story comes from the small fishing village of Paton Makur near Calang, Indonesia. I first saw Mr. Ibnu Abas, a 50 year-old father of eight who has lived in the village for more than 40 years, carrying several colorful fishing nets past the community center where the American Red Cross was teaching children how to properly wash their hands and pick-up garbage with educational games and competitions. I found out later that several of Mr. Abas children were participating in the activities. I decided to follow Mr. Abas on his journey, which ended up being a little less than a mile long walk to his small motorized canoe-like boat on a small stretch of beach. I watched as he loaded three large fishing nets …
