Liberian design found by John

previous post

For the shading we can sew a tent-like canopy with some plastic rods (see attached picture, quite generic :)) that one can push through the seams to make it stable. The rods can extend beyond the fabric so one can see when people are inside. It can be see-through one way (from inside) and transparent the other. I'll check out fabric.
We can fasten it to the roof luggage rack of the car.

I attach another sketch. The canopy shape is not a design proposal, just an idea how to place the canopy. Its shape doesn't accommodate enough people, so that has to change.

Obviously a side opening back door restricts the area from which one can view the screen. People standing around have to gather more in something like a quarter circle instead of half circle (see pdf).
I think a side opening backdoor is not a problem per se, we would do a different design for that though. I guess the "drawer" should slide out further, the screen might be better placed at an angle instead of parallel to the car as shown on the sketch.

What about doors at the side of the car? Any possibility for that?

Liberia's video parlors

[..]

I came to see what the United Nations peacekeeping mission in Liberia (UNMIL) says is a first: using video parlors to spread messages of peace.

UNMIL has struck a deal with 60 video parlor owners in Monrovia to show its five-minute shorts before and after each feature. The short videos urge ex-fighters to disarm, promote reconciliation among former warring factions, explain the upcoming election process, or teach viewers about preventing HIV, among other messages.

As in many developing countries emerging from long conflict, literacy rates in Liberia are low, so newspapers and other print media only reach the elite. The UN has used radio widely in other peacekeeping missions to get out its messages and to reunite families. The trouble in Liberia is that two decades of coups and war has left almost no radio network outside the capital.

The UNMIL video began with a message from Gyude Bryant, the country's current leader. "We have fought for a long time," he said. "Look at what fighting has done to our country." Fighting has devastated Liberia, turning it into one of the worst places to live.

The audience watched closely, and the pictures certainly told a story: Faction leaders smashed rifles with sledgehammers, a worker sliced off the barrel of a gun with a table saw. Words superimposed on the screen declared: "UNMIL will destroy all weapons ... For true," a Liberian way of saying "for real."
