What responsibility does corporations have in terms of telling nuanced stories about the world and their work with social responsibilities?

Through the media and the aid sector, audiences are often presented with a one sided and oversimplified depiction of countries and people in the global South. The narrative is often centered around unfortunate individuals in need of monetary assistance. This perpetuates the Western stereotypical perception of developing countries and reinforces the so called "white savior" mind set. Our wish is for stories to be shared through the voices of those who are being portrayed, that stories focus more on how individuals are working to better their own situation, and for a more nuanced portrayal of local contexts. The Radi-Aid project has sparked debate about this through the years and, in some cases, we notice that practices are changing.

It is becoming frequently more common that corporations are also taking on social responsibilities in different areas. This year's Radi-Aid campaign "Africa Corp." is therefore targeted towards the business world. There are many good initiatives for corporate social responsibility both in Norway and internationally, but the way they operate and communicate varies greatly. Oftentimes we see that companies in rich nations give aid to poorer nations through products and service delivery, rather than via sustainable and locally anchored alternatives. We encourage corporations working with social responsibility to seize the opportunity to show that business and innovation can contribute positively to development, by communicating and sharing examples of creativity, invention and sustainable progress in the contexts and projects they work with in the global South.

Another important element is for corporations to consider how their social responsibility initiatives can best align with their existing work. If a company is making efforts to influence positive change through their social responsibility work - for example around environmental protection, other operations of that company should follow the same principles. This point is often made by John Ruggie, a pioneer researcher of human rights-based approaches to corporate social responsibility. A rule of thumb for corporations engaging with social projects is to focus on rights of societies and citizens, rather than emphasizing their needs and challenges.

In light of the above, we have made a checklist that companies can use to ensure that their corporate social responsibility projects are based on sound principles and values and are communicated in a good manner.

Radi-Aid's checklist for communicating corporate social responsibility initiatives:

Don't cast yourself in the leading role! You might be tempted to focus on your company's own engagement in the social responsibility projects. However, this way you could easily fall into the trap of taking on the "white savior" role - coming to save Africans who can't help themselves.

Give local voices and communities ownership in the communication of your projects. Portraying recipients of corporate aid as passive people in need of saving is problematic and reinforces the perception that only countries in the West have the solutions.

Be creative! The world has seen a lot of fundraising videos for poor and sick children, so how about changing it up by profiling good local projects, using humor, or focusing on solutions rather than problems?

Ask yourself control questions! This can be useful to avoid stereotyping. What if this was me or my children? How would I be comfortable being portrayed? Are people depicted in a dignified way, or are we magnifying some elements based on our own desire to show ourselves as compassionate?

Think about why you want to work with social responsibility initiatives and which partnerships and project you engage with. Is there a clear connection to the existing work of your company? Do the projects spring from a genuine desire to engage with development and influencing change? Or is the motivation about attracting customers? The main thing is that there is an expressed need and interest from citizens on the ground and that local voices are heard and active in the partnership.

Rishi Sunak: A quick guide to the UK's new prime minister

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
The former chancellor Rishi Sunak is the UK's new prime minister. Here's what you need to know about him.
He lost to Liz Truss in September, but she resigned six weeks later. In the latest leadership contest, Mr Sunak racked up the support of his fellow MPs early, and fast. He crossed the 100 nominations he needed long before the deadline - including from MPs that had previously backed Truss or Boris Johnson.

He clashed with the former PM during the previous leadership race, claiming her plan to borrow money during an inflation crisis was a "fairytale" that would plunge the economy into chaos.

His parents came to the UK from east Africa and are both of Indian origin. Mr Sunak was born in Southampton in 1980, where his father was a GP and his mother ran a pharmacy. He went to the boarding school Winchester College, then studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics at Oxford, and business at Stanford in America. He is now the first British Asian prime minister.

Mr Sunak was first elected as an MP in 2015 - for Richmond in north Yorkshire - but rose quickly, and was made finance minister - or chancellor - in February 2020 under Boris Johnson.

As Mr Johnson's chancellor, Mr Sunak was behind the financial aid during lockdowns - including furlough payments and the "Eat Out to Help Out" scheme for restaurants.

His wife is Akshata Murty, the daughter of Indian billionaire Narayana Murthy. Mr Sunak himself has worked for investment bank Goldman Sachs and at two hedge funds. The Sunday Times Rich List estimates the couple's fortune to be worth about £730m. They have two daughters.

Over the summer, it emerged Akshata Murthy paid no UK tax on big earnings abroad - which is legal. Mr Sunak defended his wife saying, "to smear my wife to get at me is awful" - but eventually she agreed to start paying extra taxes. We also found out he temporarily had a US green card, allowing him to live permanently in America while he was the UK's chancellor.

"Free ports" are one of his long-time favourite ideas: areas near ports or airports where goods can be imported and exported without paying taxes, to encourage trade.

In 2016, he told a group of schoolchildren that he originally wanted to be a Jedi Knight when he grew up. His favourite Star Wars film is The Empire Strikes Back.

On the geometric designs of the Basotho called Litema | Design Indaba

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
It is a tradition where women decorate a house after the men have finished building the house. These highly decorative designs are soft and flowing geometric patterns that are applied with fingers, forks and sticks on the walls of houses.The patterns are sometimes coloured with natural pigments or commercial paint and stains. Stones, embedded in mud and relief designs are sometimes used as a more permanent effect.

The word Litema (pronounced as "di-the-ma") is derived from the word "ho lema" which means to cultivate, and "tema", which denotes a ploughed field. The geometric patterns appeared initially on the inside of dwellings and it was only in the 19th century that it appeared on the outside of homes. In contemporary times the practice of Litema appears to be a seasonal phenomenon associated with special events such as celebrations and religious ceremonies. It not only announces births, deaths, weddings or the arrival of Christmas and Easter, but also serves as a reminder of the passage of time.

In 1976 a certain Mr. Motibe from the Lesotho National Teachers' Training College expressed his fear that Litema was in fact a disappearing art form. Even today, nearly thirty years later, urbanisation, the use of concrete and modern paints contribute to the demise of this indigenous form of decoration and art.

Before important events, an entire village might be decorated. Traditionally a chief artist or advisor was called upon to direct and advise the women of the village on the types of design or methods of application. The special occasion became a social event in itself. Whilst squatting and drinking tea, the most skilled Litema artist would sketch her intentions in the dust. Once consensus on a design had been reached, women set out to work. Nowadays, it appears, each woman (possibly joined by members of her household and daughters) prefers her individual design and house decoration. The start of decorating times are greeted with much excitement from friends and neighbours who generously participate in terms of giving advice and moral support. Thus it is still an opportunity for a social get-together. The tradition of mural art in Southern Africa, and in particular the tradition of Litema, is not of recent origins.

One of the oldest written accounts of these murals is by a missionary John Campbell. In 1812 Campbell, in an attempt to establish diplomatic relations, visited the house of a certain chief Sinosee of the Hurutse lineage of the Tswana. He provided both illustrations as well as a verbal description of the chief's house. His description on these unique ornamented walls were extremely enthusiastic:
"Its walls were decorated with delightful representations of elephants and giraffes...In some houses there were figures, pillars, etc moulded in hard clay and painted with different colours that would not have disgraced European workmen. They are an ingenious people."

In 1880, the historian George Stow brought Campbell's accounts together. Stow, in his 1905 book titled The Native Races of South-Africa, reproduced four designs made by the Bakuena (from Botswana), then living in South Africa. In his book, he suggests that the traditional skills of mural painting described by Campbell were still very much alive - this time in South Africa. Stow's drawings are of textured panels similar to Litema engravings. Other illustrations show simple patterns of dots, stripes, triangles and zigzags executed in limited colours. In 1861, Eugene Casallis, a French missionary who worked in the Free State/ Lesotho region, referred to the Litema design as "ingenious" and far more intricate than those suggested by Stow.

More than a century separates Stow's drawings from those drawings done by Motibe's students in 1976 of the Lesotho National Teachers' Training College. Students collected 29 designs for the purpose of using these in classroom geometry lessons and to copy them for potato prints. These drawing were given names such as Lekoko, Lithebe, Litepo, and Moseme to name but a few. The English interpretations of these names are animal skin, shields, spider web, and reed mat, leading a person to believe that the underlying influence for these designs came from the artists' immediate environment. The most common opinion seems to be the copying of linear patterns resembling the furrows found in ploughed fields or field lying empty after harvesting. It is also very clear that the types of patterns mostly resemble natural forms such as leaves, corn seeds and flowers. Others suggest that more modern-day forms might influence designs - articles such as Dutch delft (these articles are often found in Basotho homesteads), pictures from magazines and specifically traditional Basotho blankets. The traditional Basotho blankets in turn display an Art Nouveau design style, reminiscent of the Victorian era. On close inspection some of the patterns found in Litema designs actually do resemble the Dutch delft articles. In fact, some of the patterns illustrated in Motibe's booklet are exact copies of patterns found on Basotho blankets.

Like flowers, Litema blooms with the arrival of spring and wilts with the approach of winter. It dies with the temporary surface of mud it adorns. As the suns dries and cracks the design, the rains come to wash away the 'dead' design, making way for new decorative opportunities.

About the author and photographer
Rudi de Lange completed his training in graphic design at the East London Technical College, practiced as a designer and photographer and lectured in these fields. He studied for a while in England and later completed a Ph.D. at the University of Stellenbosh. His research is in the field of visual communication/visual literacy with application in education, communication and primary health care. He is currently the Director and Head of the School for Design Technology and Visual Art at Technikon Free State. He is a Board member of the International Visual Literacy Association (IVLA.org), and serves as the National President of the Design Educators Forum of Southern Africa.

In 1994 Carina Mylene Beyer returned to Swakopmund, Namibia after completing her studies in photography at the Technikon Free State in Bloemfontein. She worked for 6 years as a wedding-, portraiture- and advertising photographer, specialising in cibachrome and fine art printing. Carina is currently employed as a photography lecturer at the Technikon Free State and DCM Design Institute, as well as furthering her studies in photography and conducting research on the origins and symbolism of Basotho house painting designs, otherwise known as Litema.

It is a tradition where women decorate a house after the men have finished building the house. These highly decorative designs are soft and flowing geometric patterns that are applied with fingers, forks and sticks on the walls of houses.The patterns are sometimes coloured with natural pigments or commercial paint and stains.

HUMANITARIAN PHOTOGRAPHER

Justice Kalebe is a Mosotho photographer who has been working in international development for the past 15 years with both British and Australian NGOs, managing and supporting international volunteers working in communities across southern Africa. His passion for NGO photography started when his interest in humanitarian photography began to infiltrate his work in the field. Powerful imagery that surrounded him began to inspire his creative eye.

As a local photographer with an understanding of the current context, his experience has shown that the impact of foreign aid becomes more meaningful when the community is empowered to tell their personal stories, particularly through photography. His imagery is designed to intensify the visibility of key players in community development and how they benefit from the initiatives done in their communities.

Justice also believes that visual imagery are a powerful and direct way to complement monitoring and evaluation activities.

His past work working for local NGOs in Lesotho include the Rural Self-Help Development Association; Lesotho Good Shepherd Center for Teenage Mothers; St. Angela Cheshire Home; Transformation Resource Center; and internationally, he has worked for German developmental organisation GIZ as well as corporate companies with their CSR programs.

Most recently, two photography exhibitions were held showcasing photography from local communities in Lesotho, an initiative undertaken by Justice where he mentored and trained rural community members in visual storytelling and photography techniques.

Baba Tjeko's illustrations bring the Sesotho geometric art of Litema to life | Design Indaba

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Visual artist Baba Tjeko from South Africa is best known for his Litema paintings and drawings. Litema is a form of Sotho mural art composed of decorative geometric patterns usually featuring objects from the natural world like farming fields, plants or animals.

Tjeko says the Litema design is no longer common amongst illustrators. This is why he brings it to life through his work as a way of keeping it relevant to the youth. The multi-disciplinary artist quit his government job last year to pursue his passion.

The elements shown in his work are mostly human beings filled with bold and soft Basotho patterns. He mostly works in black and white with hints of mainly blue, yellow and red in some of his pieces.

Based in Parys, a small town in the Free State, Tjeko is behind a cartoon publication called The Voice, also known as The Township Voice. The aim of this publication is to convey everyday difficulties that township residents are faced with.

In 2015, Baba came out amongst the top winners in the BBM Stickathon Art Competition where his emoticons were chosen. He is presently working on launching his career as a full-time visual artist.

On Saturday morning, we met 2 outdoor pursuit instructors by the shore of the lake next to our lodge. After a brief introduction to the proper archery technique, we let our arrows fly into (and over) the target. After shooting 3 bulls-eyes in a row, Leila was crowned champion as our archer. Soon after our friends from Mahloenyeng Combined School joined us for a round of archery. After a few more rounds, we wandered up the hill for a spot of lunch.

We mixed the pupils together so they could work together so they could share their knowledge of the SDG. We were handed sheets of pictures and words to match the black and white SDG symbols to words, all groups made the correct matches using their extensive background of SDG’s to do so. The students clicked, all had common interests allowing for efficient use of time for the SDG activities.

Willem Evans

# data[].attributes.body
When 10 students from our link school came to visit us we worked on the sustainable development goals. The one SDG we looked at was number 3, health and well-being. We got given a range of topics to rank in to a diamond 16 which affects us in health and well being. We split into 4 groups, which were in our school groups, we then ranked the topics and compared ours and theirs.

On Saturday 29th October we provided the students from our link school with their own personal hygiene bags. Within these bags were ecologically friendly products, such as bamboo wood toothbrushes, non plastic deodorants and for the girls specifically reusable sanitary pads. Coincidentally, one of our previous activities were orientated around the evaluation of SDG’s, and in accordance with this we were able to discover that periods and hygiene are things that many members of Mahloenyeng considered most significant. This information was displayed in an exercise that required us to rank each factor (such as hygiene, mental health, etc.) in order of prominence so, therefore, we hope these hygiene bags should be of great value.

We collaboratively in mixed groups with Basotho and Welsh and worked on looking at climate action. We were given photos of things which have affected climate action and things like that for example there was a photo of a house that was destroyed by a hurricane, showing the affects of extreme weather. Also photos of drought and other similar things. After being shown the photos as a group we discussed the photos and how the issues affected us and our countries. Finally we discussed them as a whole group and decided what we can do to help, for example, use more renewable energy to reduce climate change.

Saturday Afternoon - Getting to know Mahloenyeng pupils

# data[].attributes.body
After we did the activities in the Conference Room, we had some free time to get to know the Mahloenyeng pupils. We started off playing cards and doing card tricks. Then we played manhunt which is like hide-and-seek but you have to tag them to. That was a good ice breaker, because we were all working together.

Afterwards we did some arm-wrestles, some young children were watching us. Afterwards we all went in a circle and did some energisers. It was really fun, I think it’s stuff they do with the little ones, so Mahloenyeng students were a little bit awkward at first! They soon relaxed though, and we all really enjoyed it! We sang Sospan Fach, and did the Hokey-Kokey! They found that amazing, they were laughing a lot.

We gave them gifts that we brought from home; an Ysgol Penrhyn Dewi water bottle, a YPD hat, and a YPD pen. We filled the water bottle with sweets.

On Sunday, October 30th we visited the mountain called Thaba Bosiu. Upon arriving, we were all amazed at how high it was - and many of us were sceptical due to the recently diminishing thunder and lightening storms. However, we had complete faith and reliance on our bright green agriculture coats and subsequently began to climb the mountain. Many of us chose to ascend the mountain in the ancient way, however, the minority opted for the significantly less strenuous modern route. At the top, our passionate tour guide educated us on the history of King Moshoeshoe. The sights were dazzling and we even saw the mountain that inspired the traditional Lesotho hat from afar. When we reached the bottom we enjoyed our lunch under a tree which shaded us from the sun.

Overall an incredibly rewarding and informative day.

Bonnie Davies.

# data[].attributes.body
After climbing the mountain we went to the Thaba Bosiu cultural village, which is at the bottom of the mountain. When we were there we learned about how the boys and girls 11 and over stayed in separate huts, and how the chiefs wives lived. We also learned about the animals that each tribe worshipped for example, there was a hippo, a spider, a hare, a cloud and a pumpkin. The tour guide told us about how men showed that they were ready for marriage, they had to be able to kill a bull with their bare hands. After the tour of the village we went into the museum where we learned about all the stories of the village and the different chiefs.

Before visiting Mahloenyeng combined school, we met with the chief of the village. As we arrived at her house, we were greeted by a large group of school children who were all wearing traditional dress, singing and dancing. The greeting was simply sensational. They then lead us up a path towards the chiefs house and upon arrival we were greeted very warmly by the chief along with her advisors. They were all extremely kind and it was a brilliant start to a lovely day.

Morgan Price

# data[].attributes.body
We went to visit the school today it started with a huge march with all the children and teachers walking hand in hand with us from the chiefs office to the school. It was so amazing singing the whole way, once we got to the school we were brought up on the grass bank and did more singing and got introduced, Mrs Blair and Mrs Turner got dressed in traditional dress made by Mme Makabela. We then went off individually with some of the students and were shown around, chatted and made friends. We then sat down and different groups of students performed dances, songs and even an acting performance which were all so interesting and cool. It was then time for lunch we had bread and chicken which were both so tasty everyone said it was nicest chicken ever. We then had to say goodbye which was very crazy but also really cool, it was like we were famous, taking a million pictures, tons of hugs and so many people crowding and saying goodbye. It was a little overwhelming but at the same time so exciting to meet and chat to everyone.

Friday was the final day before leaving for our final moments with our new found friends. We started the day by creating the place to BBQ known as a Braii, this Braii was the cooking place of all our meat. The drinks were poured and food was plated as our final meal was shaped as a group. We played a local game amongst lifelong companions. We shared memories and took photos to help alleviate the stresses of leaving, we hugged, exchanged numbers and a few shed tears. We got onto the bus waved goodbye to our friends and hello to the start of a lifelong friendship.

Willem Evans

Just met with my new friends for the last time whilst we’re in Lesotho but all of us are hoping that they can all come over to Wales next year. We were all really upset and saddened that we all had to depart so soon. We met 6 days ago and our friendships were quickly formed. I’ll miss everyone here so much but I’m optimistic in hoping for meeting everyone in Wales next year.

We got show the plastics they collect and which ones they don’t collect. Then we got shown how they shred the plastics into small bits. Then you put it in the melting machine so that you can mould the melted plastics into earrings, necklaces, rings, clothe pegs, plant pots, rulers, bowls, light covers, key rings and coasters. Which they sell and all of these are made from plastics. They also have a machine so they can shape the melted plastics into swirly bowls. They sort their shredded plastics into colours. We got shown how to use the machines and then nearly bought the whole shop.

We started the day by going to visit the Prince, we went to his office where he welcomed us to Lesotho. He was excited to hear we were from St. Davids as there has been a long time twinning of St. Davids and Matsieng and he remembered his own and his mothers visits. On leaving the offices we walked through the village and saw the palace as we were leaving we saw the King coming out of his house.

On Tuesday 1st November, we revisited Mahloenyeng combined school with the intention of seeing our newly established friends, and collectively completing a quiz with them. The students were not aware of the contents of the quiz, however, we all felt relatively excited to work with our peers. Prior to the quiz itself we quickly exchanged greetings with the children of the school. We watched nervously as the pupils carried chairs and tables past the science lab windows in which we were all huddled we were advised to sit in groups comprised of students from Mahloenyeng. We sat in front of the entire school and felt the beginnings of feelings such as intimidation, nervousness, and of course a little excitement. After quickly glancing at some of the students textbooks, we were certain that we would share very similar facets of information. The quiz allowed us to use our Chemistry, Maths and Geography skills - which allowed us to exchange information in our respective countries. A variety of questions were asked, however, all students excelled in their collaborative skills regardless. By the conclusion of the quiz, the winners were even granted a prize.

We went into school today! Some people went off with the little ones to draw pictures of themselves and trace their hand prints, and the rest of us went into the some of the older primary kids and taught them Welsh and some some songs.

After that was done, we went into a class with mixed Year 8’s, 9’s and 10’s. We handed out letters from the Year 7’s and 8’s at home, so the the Lesotho pupils could write back to them. We walked around and helped people with reading and spelling. Both the Welsh and the Lesotho pupils were completely honest in their letters and the Lesotho students were so happy to get the letters!

After lessons we went across the road to play netball with the girls from school. Even though there  netball courts are un-even, sandy and rocky, they are still very good, some better than us.

At 8:00 we set off to try to see some dinosaur footprints. We had a guide that led us up the mountain very near our accommodation it was quite tiring but the views were so worth it. It really gave you a completely new view of the beautiful place we were staying. After about 45 minutes of walking we made it to the footprints. It was a huge rock slab with indented 3 toe footprints, our guide said that they dated back 100 million years and were from a pterodactyl type dinosaur he also mentioned about another dinosaur called a Lesothosaurus which apparently was a common prey of the pterodactyl.
