Hi, this is Phil Perry. I am an inspired for-impact
organizer working from my family's summer camp, called
Sanborn Western Camps, located in Colorado. I need your
help to fill a not-for-profit travel program based in
service and adventure. Using the incredible power of the
internet, I am looking for the fifteen students who would
benefit from the unique gift of travel, service and
cultural exchange that our program to Argentina represents.
Our program is based in micro-credit and social
entrepreneurship.
The spirit of an Acción Adventures course combines cultural
exchange, foreign language and positive people to create an
international travel experience that lasts a lifetime. We
concentrate on the indivdual's power to make a difference
on a global level. Students take part in grass roots
community development learning powerful leadership skills.
Acción Adventures is more than just a summer youth travel
program, it is a life-changing introduction to intern
ational travel with a purpose for high school students age
15-19.
Traveling with a co-ed student group of fifteen students
and two leaders, students take part in a five-week journey
working with small businesses that need our help. At the
same time, students will experience another culture, learn
Spanish, and form bonds of friendship and family that can
last a lifetime.
Acción Adventures believes in empowering both the
developing world and our students. There is no better time
than NOW to invest in their dreams by creating experiences
that portray the world from a different perspective.
Travel, wonder and service form an important journey that
leads one to discover new horizons.

Please help me to fill this trip and support both our
students' growth and the development of small businesses in
South America.

Hi everyone,
I'm looking for participants for an online collaborative
project. It's called "The Garbage Project" and it's an
information exchange involving how much trash we throw away,
perfect for a lesson about recycling and the environment.
Here is an overview:
The goal of this educational project for students is to
provide an opportunity to gather and analyze data in order
to guide their understanding of the importance of
responsible waste disposal. Using online student-collected
data, they will discover how much garbage is produced by
their household within a week's time. By collecting data in
an online environment, students can share information about
garbage generation and recycling habits with others from
across the country and around the world. This collaboration
will allow for greater learning by teaching students to work
together to solve problems, increasing and promoting
interdisciplinary study across the curriculum, and
broadening their understanding and appreciation of different
cultures and global environmental issues.
Please visit the project website for more information and to
register ([link removed]!
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope some of
you will participate!

Through my tears, I write to anyone that can help me and
my daughter of 11. I am very sick. I don't know how long I
will be here. But, God everything has just went down hill
for the last year. My husband went for my daughter
violently, I intervined. He broke all my ribs on the right
side. Thank God she did not get hurt. He went to prison,
but not before my daughter found him overdosed laying in
his owm, well you know. So, he lost his job and off he
went to prison. We got evicted because his money helped
pay bills. So, I moved out of state, with my sister and
her five teen boys. Her 18 year old boy Raped my daughter.
I did not have much, I TOOK WHAT I COULD AND RAN TO HER.
Only to have my daughter raped. I bought a 2005 car hoping
to get out. Then I got real sick with P.A.D. AND A
BLOODCLOT WENT TO MY KIDNEY. THEY CALLED IT A STROKE, AND
I LOST MY KIDNEY. While in the hospital my sisters sons
found my checkbook and went to town. When I got out three
months later, I was 3 months behind on my car payment.
They said they understood, since I filed a police report,
and that they would work with me. I made two car payments
this month! But I was still behind. They came tonight to
take my car even though they said they would work with me.
My sister insist she is going to keep my furniture. Her
and her husband make 80k a year. I used to make 60k a
year, not bad for a single mother, before the abusive
marriage. I had it all. NOW I have nothing. I MOVED when
my daughter was raped with a friend in a trailer, who has
a heart of gold. I have never lived in a trailer. But, we
have a place to sleep, safely. Now I have nothing maybe 50
cents to my name. I feel like a total failure. I need to
get to the doctor once a week and go to my daughters
school 20 miles round trip. I know I CAN START OVER. But
I, am on disability of $900.00 a month. God I need help. I
need a car. Any car, I have learned to be very humble and
thankful for anything. A bed is wonderful. keeping my
daughter safe is wonderful. We need help. IS THERE ANYONE
THAT CAN HELP ME GET A CAR. I CAN MAKE SMALL PAYMENTS.
PLEASE IN JESUS'S NAME HELP US. I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD
ASK FOR A THING FROM ANYONE. NOW I, AM ASKING AND THROUGH
MY TEARS FOR HELP. WE HAVE NO HOME, JUST STAYING WITH A
KIND, KIND LADY. PLEASE ANYTHING THAT CAN KEEP ME GOING TO
THE DOCTOR AND BEING APART OF HER LIFE, LIKE THE OTHER
KIDS MOM'S. THANK YOU FOR READING. YOU CAN REACH ME AT

My name is Becky Mallatt and I am from Oregon. I am
organzing a 50 state quilt block exchange and I have all
but 10 of the states ready to go. These are the remaining
10 states that I still need:
DE, HI, IA, KS, ME, MT, ND, NM, VT, WV.
It will be totally free for you to join us, because the
grant pays for everything. If you would like to join or
know someone else from one of these states who would,
PLEASE reply ASAP. thanks so much and have a great day!
I received a "Kids in Need" grant for a "50 State Quilt
Square
Exchange." Here's how the project will work: I will get
one teacher
from each of the 50 states to agree to make 50 identical
PAPER quilt squares to represent their state. They should
be 6" square, done TLC-style (cut/glued paper). For
instance, we made a beaver on ours because Oregon is "The
Beaver State." Washington could be a pine tree design
it's "The Evergreen State" and Florida could be a big sun
because it's "The Sunshine State." You will also need to
have a
written piece, also 6" square, to go with each square
(simple, kid-
friendly, short and simple, writing pieces). They can all
be the
same. I am planning to do an interactive piece with my
whole class.
My grant will pay for you to mail me your completed
squares and
writing. I will then redistribute your 50 squares into
files for each
state, so that after I have gotten everything, I will have
a file for
each state with all 50 states' quilt squares and writing
pieces. I
will then send that file back to you. THEN you can either
make them
into a 50-states quilt piece that you can display in your
school, OR
maybe make it into a book - this part is up to you.
If you are interested, please email me ASAP to my school
email, rmallattbend.k12.or.us, or home email,
[email removed]:
Your name & State
Grade
School
School address
Email
I will confirm with you and will then send you detailed
instructions.
Please respond ASAP as we need to get this project going
as quickly as we can.
