Helping Haitians Help Themselves

Two different events coming are supporting the Cabois community school in rural Haiti.

This is a school that emphasizes teachers' ability to listen to their students, students' ability to learn through active participation. It helps student gain confidence that they can both help their community and make a better life for themselves. Attached is a picture of the school's teachers. We need your help to make sure these teachers get paid for their awesome work.

And you can support this just by coming out to a bowling night or a movie night!

Bowling: 5pm to 8pm, Tomorrow, Friday the 21st

909 North 2nd Street (North Bowl) (come any time between 5 and 8pm)

Movies: 8pm, Saturday May 29,

We'll have an old-timey film projector and movies by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

I will be giving a short talk about the Cabois community school at 6:30 tomorrow at the bowling event. Come on out!

Christa's Angels

As many of you know, I was in Haiti during the disastrous 1/12/2010 earthquake.

One of the amazing things about it is Haitians resilience in the face of losing almost everything they had. They are working so hard not only to ensure their own survival, but to care for the safety of everyone around them as well. It's critical that we support the Haitians who are already in action providing for the needs of their communities at this difficult time.
