I am beginning a project. The project name is not set as of now, and probably won't be until it is finally complete. I have lived and visited many areas with an outrageous homeless population that is hated, ignored, and looked down on. I would like to start this project by getting a nice recorder (continuous recording, battery life, and direct computer upload) and recording life stories from homeless men, women, and children around the United States. I would like to be able to offer them some money but I really do not have the resources myself. I was thinking about $10 to each person who contributes. I'd like to get between 40 or 50 life stories to use at least. Then I would like to write them all down and have them published as a book called "Just Like You" or something similar. I don't think many people realize that all homeless aren't that way because of drug or alcohol abuse, and I'm hoping this book will educate the public, and create a more loving and accepting community. I got this idea when I befriended a homeless man in Waco, Texas who was living in a creek bed. He had no paperwork, so I helped him to attain a birth certificate from his home town in Indiana. He was a kind man whose mother had died when he was young and left him nothing. He taught me a lot and I still see him very often, but not on the streets! I go to a university and I am hoping to have them publish this book once I have completed it, but I'm taking first things first. Any grant money would only be used to pay participants and obtain a recorder. Thank you so much for taking the time to learn about my project.

The disabled population is often overlooked by society. It is almost as if our society would prefer to keep people with disabilities out of sight for whatever reason. Maybe it is for this reason that people with disabilities do not always get the chance to take part in everyday activities like dining out, seeing a movie, or participating in other recreational activities. With my project I plan to increase the ease with which people who are disabled can find activities in the Kalamazoo community to participate in.
I plan to create a guidebook including sections on dining and recreation in relation to how accessible they are to people with various disabilities.

Nothing But Red is an anthology (in the works) of essays responding to a recent "honor killing" in Iraq. The victim was seventeen-year-old Du'a Khalil. Her crime was falling in love with a Sunni Muslim boy. In response to the tragedy, a group of people are collecting essays, short stories, poems, and visual art for an anthology that will be entitled "Nothing But Red." The title came from a blog post by Joss Whedon, who is best known for creating Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The phrase describes the look of Du'a's face in the video onlookers took on their camera phones. Her face was nothing but red. One hundred percent of the proceeds are going to Equality Now, an international organization that fights to gain and hold women's rights.
