The articles, the opinions, the stories, the poems and the cartoons Ovi magazine covers for Thursday April 7th, 2022 – International Day of Sport for Development and Peace
In 1948, the WHO held the First World Health Assembly. The Assembly decided to celebrate 7 April of each year, with effect from 1950, as the World Health Day. The World Health Day is held to mark WHO’s founding and is seen as an opportunity by the organization to draw worldwide attention to a subject of major importance to global health each year. The WHO organizes international, regional and local events on the Day related to a particular theme. World Health Day is acknowledged by various governments and non-governmental organizations with interests in public health issues, who also organize activities and highlight their support in media reports, such as the Global Health Council.
Bronislaw Malinowski: Understanding Cultures and Cultural Change by Rene Wadlow
Bronislaw Malinowski (1884-1942) whose birth anniversary we note on 7 April was a leading professor of anthroplogy at the London School of Economics during the 1920s and 1930s. He was to do six months of field work in the Trobriand Islands of what is now New Guinea in 1914. He was there when the First World War broke out, and he feared that if he returned to England, he might be arrested as an “enemy alien”. Malinowski was born in Cracow in today’s Poland but at the time was part of the Austrian empire. He had studied and received a doctorat at Jagrellonian University where his father was a professor , and then gone to teach in England. Thus rather than six months in the Trobriand Islands, he stayed from 1914 to 1919 when he returned to England. There he wrote “Argonauts of the Western Pacific”, published in 1922, which created a new style of participant observation in anthroploogy.
Malinowski wanted to build a new model of social anthroplogy to meet some of the basic problems facing humanity. His emphasis was on how society is structured to meet the basic needs of the individual. Malinowski helped to make the London School of Economics a leading English institution for anthroplogy. He had as students people who became well known in the field.

Hollow Days Requiem #poem & #painting by Nikos Laios
“In the dark corners,
In the red spheres
Under green lights
From cracked lamps
In back alleyways
And the beer-soaked
Days where the ebb
And flow of city life
Rises up with the mist
From the deep cold harbour”
