I'm not feeling terribly well tonight so I'm just going to keep this weeks blurb short.
I'm making a donation to "Free The Children" ~ an international charity and youth movement based on the concept of "children helping children." It specializes in sustainable development in countries of Kenya, Ecuador, India, Nicaragua, Arizona-Mexico, and China, empowering youth in developed countries to become socially engaged. They implemented it's 'Adopt a Village' development model in rural communities so that education, health care, alternative income, and clean water and sanitation are attainable. Among other projects, they build schools and water wells, and provides medical treatment. These projects are designed to address the root causes of poverty and remove the barriers to children’s education in the developing world.
Free The Children also partners with schools and families in developed countries “to educate, engage and empower young people as agents of change.” It does so through a team of Youth Programming Coordinators providing mentorship and resources to school and community youth groups; through the production of Weekly Curriculum Resources for elementary, middle, and high school classrooms; and by providing training to educators on engaging students in social justice. Local initiatives include: motivational speaking tours and workshops on topics such as volunteerism, active lifestyles and healthy eating and bullying; summer leadership camps.

I challenge anyone to do more.
