Broken heels, flat tires, runny makeup, torn stockings, a dancefloor tumble, and a DJ who walked right in from the Old Town Bingo Night. That’s every kid’s recipe for a nightmare prom. But what happens when all goes well, and then some. . .and then some more!

OASIS (Outdoor Action for Social and Intrapersonal Stregth) is a project I am running at the Durham Nativity School in Durham, North Carolina. The Durham Nativity School is a nonprofit organization that provides free private school tuition to at-risk middle school students in the Durham area. OASIS is a supplemental retreat program for the students at this school. We take their students (approximately 15-35 students are expected to attend each retreat) on weekend long retreats to various areas that are relatively near (but outside of) the Durham area.

Becoming the Tigress: Stopping Domestic Violence and Bringing Awareness to Women

I will be holding a free women's self defense seminar for my community. I have created an awareness lesson, including what attackers look for, current statistics, and how to avoid becoming a victim. After that, I will be teaching the essentials of martial arts to not only survive an attack but to avoid one altogether. I will also be adamantly selling raffle tickets, and the proceeds will be going to a local domestic violence center that is in desperate need of donations. However, I am finding difficulties getting donations myself to buy items for the raffle.

MY-Cell Phone Drive

The Town of Fountain Hills Mayors Youth Council collected used and old cell phones to help spread awareness of domestic violence and help to recycle old phones. The MYC started their project in Jan. 2007, their goal was collect at least 10 phones each (total of 50) by the end of the school year in May of 2007. the cell phone drive was a perfect fit for these high school’ers, because most of their friends had old phones just sitting around. Most people don't know what to do with their old or used cell phone once they have gotten a new one.
