As you may know,
when a Jewish child turns 13, they a have a special celebration called a Bat
Mitzvah. Bat Mitzvah is when you become
a “child of the torah.” On this day you read from the Torah. Leading up to this
day you have to do many, many things to prepare. Study your portion, go to at
least 18 temple services, plan the after party (obviously), and, most
important, choose a Mitzvah project.
You may be wondering, what’s a Mitzvah? Well, to answer
your question, Mitzvah in Hebrew is favor, but it also means responsibility.
The Mitzvah project is a project you do to help others, not just yourself. By
completing a Mitzvah project, I am honoring my responsibility to help others.
At first, I had
several ideas for my Mitzvah project, but none inspired me. When my mom started working with Girls
Supporting Girls I knew I wanted to be part of it. I wanted to make Girls
Supporting Girls part of my Mitzvah project. I had already seen Girl Rising
with my mom. I loved it. It was just so amazing to see girls from different
developing countries not being able to go to school but still working through
it, being strong, and learning to live with so much less. I had always thought everyone was able to go to
school, but after seeing Girl Rising, I realized that many girls don’t even
have school. I know I am lucky to be learning about crystals
and minerals and reading books! Some girls aren't even allowed to go school or don't have the money
to even learn how to multiply 2 and 2!
I was so excited
when my mom told me about GSG. Girls Supporting Girls is an organization
helping girls in developing countries learn, read, write and mostly, go to
school. They are working with Room To Read to build a whole entire school in
Cambodia! I recently went to a meeting and we talked about the unfairness of
girls rights. After all this talking and discussing, I immediately knew what my
new Mitzvah project was going to be. I could not wait to get started! The next day
my mom and I checked about Booktober, an event that Room To Read was hosting.
There were different rewards for different amounts of donations. $10: 10 books
for a girl. $25: new school uniforms for 4 kids who can’t go to school. $50: A
bicycle for a student to ride to and from school safely. $100: 4
library shelves filled with books and finally $250: Can send a child to school for a
whole entire year. Now, I have my goal. Before my Bat Mitzvah, next year, I want to send 4
girls to school. That's $1,000! I know my Bat Mitzvah
project may not be easy, but it will change the lives of 4 girls… girls just like me! You can help me with my Mitzvah project right now. Just click on the 'Support Us' tab above and look for Rebecca and Lulu Daly's page!

Hidden message by Ingrid Geldof
ReplyDeleteAs successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, for the featured kitchen, designer Ingrid Geldof decided to aim for a traditional look that does not sacrifice the modern lifestyle.
"The new kitchen inhabits pretty much the original space, but we added windows that wrap round the corner of the house to maximize natural light. We also refitted an existing walk-in pantry," Geldof said. "Another structural change was to level the floors and stud heights to create a harmonious aesthetic flow right through the interior."
"The cabinetry has a solid, furniture-like feel. Cock-beaded drawer surrounds, floating panels, decorative studs and even cornices all reflect the handcrafted nature of the facades," claimed Geldof. "These are finished using traditional French polishing techniques, in conjunction with shellacs and waxes, to create a patina finish complete with myriad hand-applied imperfections."
"The idea wasn't to hide all the mod cons away and pretend the kitchen was old. Rather, we wanted to create the general sense of the traditional – with the implied benefits of longevity, solidity, and looks that won't fall from favour."
The Modern attractive Living Space
ReplyDeleteThis attractive and modern living space has been combined between the large space with elegance and coziness, according to furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials provided.

Spanish hacienda-style design by Ryan Jackson
ReplyDelete"The authenticity of the architecture and design immediately captured my imagination. Especially the tile floor in the dining room, that's what really sold me on it." said designer Ryan Jackson of the featured house theme of a Spanish hacienda-style architecture.
As successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, the house’s kitchen, however needs to be more functional with ample storage.
"Foremost, I wanted to retain the organic feel of the space, so I was careful to use and source appropriately aged, natural materials. Pieces such as the small built-in unit were hand-crafted using existing materials, contributing to the sense that it is an evolved space.
"I tried to be very careful with my footprint and not do a disservice to the fundamentals of the house. The few changes I've made, I believe, have further enhanced the architecture."
The Great Holiday House
ReplyDeleteThis house has been designed by architectural designers Nathan Shearing and Martin Gvardijancic of Fat Hippo Design Group.
Leading to furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials stated, the house has been built by mixed three strategies to create a holiday home that celebrates the mountain setting, without detracting from it.
“We set the structure low on the long, narrow section as there was no need to build over two levels to capture the views.
This in turn provides some privacy from a distance, as the hillside partly obscures the house from the street. It also helps ensure the house does not dominate the setting”.
“To optimize views and privacy, we created a loose H-shaped design. The long central bar comprises the living space, which is much like a viewing gallery, completely walled in glass.
A guest suite and garage are in the left-hand wing while the other, smaller wing contains the master suite”.
Exceptional design

Organic approach by Tom Catalano and Lee Bierly
ReplyDeleteAs successful furniture shop in Cambodia construction materials informed, designed by architect Tom Catalano and designer Lee Bierly, the presented house was redesigned with a Shingle Style design.
"This style has an organic, expressive form – the exterior walls and roof wrap the house like a skin, and from the outside you can sense the rooms and volumes inside," he said. "Materials are limited and colors are straight-laced – typically you will find whites and neutrals, with touches of dark color.
"Here, I've used natural cedar shingles for the siding and roof, with touches of dark green for the window shutters. The level of detail and the monochromatic quality of the materials are consistent throughout the house."
"We wanted the home to be refined, but also comfortable and casual," designer Lee Bierly added. "We chose a light color palette of soft watery blues and beiges, to mirror the sky and water, and selected natural materials such as linen, cotton, raffia and wool. There is a lot of millwork in the home, with different layers of molding. We wanted to set this off, so we chose a light paint wash for the walls."
Blurring the lines by Kathryn Ogawa and Gilles Depardon
ReplyDeleteAccording to reliable furniture shop in Phnom Penh
construction materials information, architects Kathryn Ogawa and Gilles Depardon collaborated on the pictured home project. Its prominent features were the stone-cladding aesthetic and open connection to the outdoor.
"We wanted the house to look as though it was built into the land, so we opted for a long, low building with a flat roof," said Ogawa. "Effectively, the house follows the contours of the site – its linear shape parallels the pond."
"Vermont stone features at the front of the house, creating a pathway and forming a low wall that runs parallel to the house. The stone also forms the base of the house, helping to visually ground it," stated the architect.
The blur between the indoor and outdoor can be seen with the repetition of Vermont stone in the interior and other natural and raw materials including limestone that bring out the authenticity of the design.
