Please join with us to complete this classroom for the beautiful children of Kawanda and give them the chance of an education. We have raised $260.00 toward the total amount required of $1660.00. We only need to raise another $1400.00. With God all things are possible and we can make a difference in the world, rescuing the children life by life & giving them their basic right of an education. This is a wonderful ministry that God is using to accomplish great things in the lives of the children and community. Thank you for you support. I have had the pleasure of working with VCMU since 2014 and spent one month at the ministry over May/June this year helping in the C&K Child Development Centre. Everyday I saw classrooms full of happy, smiling children, talking, laughing and so eager to learn, oblivious to the fact that they are disadvantaged; they were so excited and thankful to be in school and have the opportunity to learn. This is a selfless ministry working hard to provide the orphans, poor and vulnerable children with their basic needs and the chance of an education. This is only possible through the generous support of sponsors. Help us to make a difference in the lives of these children by supporting the completion of this classroom and giving these precious children the opportunity of an education. Thank youe

My name is Johwell St-Cilien, I am the co-founder of NegusWorld. My organization produces an annual fundraiser called NegusWorld Wide Party (“ NWWP” ) where countries around the world unite on the same day and raise money for children in need through charity events. Thirteen countries participated in the first NWWP that took place on April 12, 2014. NegusWorld collaborated with an organization called Prosjekt Haiti and the event raised enough proceeds to buy 6,000 lunches for children in a Port-au-Prince community school. The following year our organization collaborated with love.fútbol, and on  May 9, 2015, twenty countries raised $16,412 in order to build a soccer field for the children in Aliança/Brazil who don't have a safe place to play. In 2016, we are looking to serve a youth community in a country within the African continent. More specifically, we are looking to possibly help with the renovation of a youth/educational establishment to turn it into a self-sustained facility, using natural resources in its environment (e.g., solar panel installation, construction of water wells, community garden irrigation system, etc.) http://www.negusworld.org/NWWP.php

“How can I become a great leader?” is a question that most of us might have been wondering. We fulfil that dream by the consistent practice of various skills like communication, time management, teamworking… Surprisingly, the very first step to be a leader of people is to be the leader of yourself.   Who am I? What is the real mission of my life? It takes everyone years and years to answer these questions.  Only when you deeply understand yourself and are able to answer the above questions with strong faith, you are ready to be a great leader. Therefore, Self-leadership has emerged to be the foundation on which other skills will be built. Held by Vietlearning, a Vietnamese NGO, a presentative of STEPS4NGOS project funded by Youth in Action Program of the EU, Blue Ocean Camp aims to help youngsters gain not only excellent  interpersonal skills but also essential inner skills. Please respond quickly! Age: 15-35 For further information, please contact: [email protected]

Join a small team with your friends and family for a unique activity in the River Roundup. Collect a sample of the bugs and other creatures (benthic macroinvertebrates) that live in our streams .  Like canaries in a coal mine, these creatures tell us how healthy the river is.  The amount of life in our fresh water is amazing! Volunteers first meet in Ann Arbor. Trained volunteers take you to two stream sites, where you help them search through stones, leaves, and sediment.  Only trained volunteers will go in the water. Dress to be in the field for a couple hours.   You must register early to be assigned to a team. Children are welcome to attend with an adult.

Our trained volunteer leaders and collectors are what make our River Roundups great!  If you have experienced a River Roundup, you should train to be a team Leader or Collector.  The training consists of three parts: Leader Training- Spend one hour learning about the data sheets and some important information about the river system. This will enable you to be very helpful as a Team Leader during the River Roundup. [Qualifications: You only need to have experienced either a Roundup or a Stonefly Search before doing this.] Bug Show- A dazzling presentation of the amazing insects that live underwater in our streams. Learn where they live, how they hunt and fish for their meals and what their mating entails. Collector Training- After a brief introduction we will carpool to a nearby site and practice techniques in the stream to thoroughly search for bugs in all kinds of habitats. [Qualifications: You only need to have experienced a Roundup or Stonefly Search before becoming a Collector. Teachers who want to learn collecting techniques for classroom use are welcome to join us with permission from Jason: email [email protected].]

We want you to join a team that will measure and map a stream site this summer!  Learn to “read a river” by characterizing the bed, the banks and other indicators of stream health. You must first attend training on the field techniques in a hands-on workshop. Then,  people will form into teams to map two sites on a later date selected by you and the team.   No prior knowledge is necessary. You will not get wet at the training but you will walk in the stream and possibly over uneven terrain when you map your site. Older Children (9+) are welcome to attend but each one must be attended by one adult.
