...common summer memory. No, not of going to the beach or an amusement park. Instead this memory is one where they spent a week of their summer vacation visiting a local church during their annual installment of Vacation Bible School or VBS for short. Some kids attended numerous church's Vacation's Bible Schools, attempting to enjoy as many of the fun-filled activities as possible. How Popular Was Vacation Bible School? According to a recently released by LifeWay, entitled "Even If They Don't Go to Church, Americans Still Love VBS," some six in every 10 Americans surveyed said they attended VBS while growing up. Two-thirds say they plan to send their kids to VBS, even if they don't currently attend a church. More About...

...Although I finished my data collection a few weeks ago (hence the lack of posting), I've been continuing my work with YAA and the i.d.e.a. Museum. Over the course of my Senior Research Project, I've gained experience with research in a non-scientific setting, and I've also learned more about what makes outreach efforts successful. While my involvement with Young Authors of Arizona continues, the awards ceremony two weeks ago marks my last event as a Student Leader with YAA. I recently committed to the University of Pennsylvania, and I hope to apply what I've learned about writing outreach to similar efforts in Philadelphia. For now, I'm looking into future projects for YAA and searching for new student leadership to make those projects happen. I'm also helping the i.d.e.a. Museum to develop a more formalized summer program for teen volunteers....

...with assault among our youths. This crisis cause our youth to seek shelter either with gang members or on the street. Gangs and youth is another form of control. The gang lifestyle offer the youngster a stable family with a warm bed and a full stomach. Who wouldn’t do whatever it takes to keep a roof overhead? My community in California offer two of many programs geared at our juvenile delinquents. The first program is called Wind Youth Services. This program was started in 1994 by two sisters. The nuns rented a small place to help youth who ran away survive on the streets. They provided classes with basic survival skills and resources to break the homelessness cycle. The program provided more youth than space. In 2001 with the help of a Federal Grant, Wind Homeless Shelter was opened. It provided more classes and more volunteers and community outreach. In 2007, with the help of generous donors and outreach programs, Wind opened up a youth center for young people to come and do homework; get tutoring; job outreach as well as a hot meal. Some of the successful programs have been the life skills program. Today there are more than 3 million kids who are discharged from foster care who will become homeless (2012). In Sacramento, the Wind group has put 237 kids in 2012 through the life skills class. The life skills class provide a life plan for surviving. The young people develop a plan for their...

...Most students simply create chronological lists of their extracurricular accomplishments. Big mistake! This is a section where you can really set yourself apart from other applicants by employing a little strategy. Anyone can be a member of the Key Club, but not anyone can start an adult literacy program or become the assistant manager at Wayne's Weenie World. The key to making your extracurricular activities stand out within the limited space of the application form is to focus on leadership. But before you can do this, you first need to make a list of all your extracurricular activities, summer activities, and jobs. List everything big and small. Significant and insignificant. Don't forget that extracurricular activities include experiences like teaching all those hyper kids at Sunday School, whacking the ball around on the ping pong team, playing the triangle in band, leading a sit-in against animal fur, or volunteering as a candy striper at the hospital. For every activity, job, and sport you should try to list as much of the following as possible: • Name of the organization, program, or business. • A short one to two sentence description of the group, program, or business. • Any leadership positions you held and your responsibilities. • Any special...

Why do we need to patronize ballet performances? IV. Statement of the Objective The officers of the CCP, Jaime Zobel, president, and Lucresia Kasilag, artistic director accepted Alice’s Reyes proposal. Consequently, the Alice Reyes Modern Dance Concert was held in February 1970. This promising led Alice to organize the CCP Summer Dance Workshop in a vacant at the CCP basement, culminating the 1st Summer Dance and Music Workshop Concert that was held in June 1970, with 30 participants. Soon this pioneers were doing a season of three concerts, which eventually led them to decide to put up their own dance company. V. Scope and Limitation of the Problem The Alice Reyes Dance Company was organized along with the CCP Summer Dance Workshop and the CCP Dance School. In 1974, the CCP Dance Foundation was organized to provide financial and organizational assistance for the company, the name of which was changed to the CCP Dance Company.

...Human rights NGO is a non-governmental organization that works to protect human rights and end human rights violations. The topic of “human rights” encompasses a wide range of issues, including freedom of expression, right to due process, gender equality, and freedom from poverty and violence. Many NGOs turn to the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights in order to fully outline organizational goals. Human rights NGOs vary in their approach. Some NGOs perform extensive research in order to document human rights abuses. These organizations serve as “watchdogs,” monitoring the potentially abusive actions of governments. Many human rights NGOs work to bring public attention to human rights abuses through information campaigns, NGO member updates, and coordination with the press. By garnering public support of an issue, human rights NGOs can put intense pressure on perpetrators to end human rights abuses. Human rights NGOs work at the local, national and international level and may focus their efforts on government advocacy or grassroots organizing. Major Human Rights NGOs Amnesty International is recognized as one of the most influential human rights NGOs, with over 3 million members in 150 countries. Amnesty International conducts research, raises public awareness of human rights violations, and generates grassroots action. Amnesty International aims to ensure all people enjoy the rights outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The work of Amnesty International...

Social Justice Experience (e.g. addressing systemic inequality through education, organizing, activism, mentorship, counseling, outreach/access, survival and development work, event planning/coordination, community building and development, etc.) Over the past two years, two of my closest friends and I have brainstormed, created, and implemented a venture called Salud Ahora. Salud Ahora is an analytical system of targeted SMS messaging aimed at educating the population about methods of preventative care. Our main goal is to cultivate and maintain stronger relationships between patients and their primary care physicians, by providing a free platform for physicians to stay in touch with their patients through SMS. I spent part of this past summer in Nicaragua working with clinics in the cities of Granada and Masaya to show them how our platform works, and give them tips on how to best utilize it for community wellbeing. Salud Ahora has been one of the most meaningful projects I have worked on, and has helped me realize that I want to use my knowledge to serve others for the rest of my...
