KHOISAN LANGUAGE STUDENT SCHOLARSHIP SCHEME
Pambazuka News #171 (26 Aug. 04)
"In order to create a cadre of Khoisan linguists capable of facilitating the preservation and development of the Khoisan languages of Southern Africa, Centre for Advanced Study of African Societies (CASAS) administers a scholarship scheme for University linguistic studies in Cape Town, at the undergraduate level with possibilities of advancement to post-graduate studies thereafter. The KLSSS is supported by Brot fur die Welt, Stuttgart, Germany. The scholarship scheme started with the first cohort in the academic year starting in January 2002. Scholars are Khoisan mother-tongue speakers, with good academic achievements to date at Grade 12 or matric level, from any country in Southern Africa."

A War Without End
By NEIL SHEEHAN, New York Times, 27 August 2004
"The truth is that atrocities were committed in Vietnam...
Free Fire Zones - anything that moved, human or animal,
could be killed - were redlined on military maps...
In Vietnam, America the exceptional joined the rest of the
human race and demonstrated that it could do evil as easily
as it could do good."
