International aid has focused on critical conflict intervention as well as medical and nutritional assistance. The children of the Old City, particularly the boys, are exposed to disruptive checkpoints, detentions, toxic tear gas, extended curfews, and physical searches. These affronts erode bodily sovereignty, both mentally and physically, which is vital to the development of healthy self-esteem.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/108475">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/108475#comments art Community Building conflict resolution Cross Cultural Israel Multi-media Non-Violence Palestine peace self esteem theater youth 39.797227 -83.892390 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 11:40:51 -0500 joanna.maier 108475 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/44496 <p><p>I have decided to help children and adults learn the alternative, yet great ways to eat. I am a vegetarian and I feel that people should be given the opportunity to explore something that sustains their living so that they can choose for themselves and eat correctly. Vegetarianism is something i hold very close to me. I think people will have more food options in just exploring vegetarian dishes and ways of eating, children and adults alike will have a higher self esteem when eating good and will also love to eat food because not only is it good for you but it tastes great!</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/44496">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/44496#comments good food happy adults happy kids healthy people less fat more fun positive attitudes Public Health self esteem vegetarianism 39.974584 -74.151410 Sun, 13 Jan 2008 00:45:06 -0600 smartgab 44496 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/44066 <p><p>Objective: Empower youth to develop good sense, ambassadorship, and life long leadership skills by embracing service and service related initiatives.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/44066">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/44066#comments ambassadorship Community Building critical thinking good sense leadership self esteem service 33.005420 -96.897730 Sun, 06 Jan 2008 16:25:51 -0600 Youth Club 44066 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/41584 <p><p>When I was younger people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, and when I told them I was already working on my dream, they'd laugh and tell me to wait till I grew up. I had already decided what I wanted to be: The voice of those who havent been heard. I had a very clear reason: Watching children in my country, Colombia, leave pencils and dreams to fight a war they didnt understand. I started writing when I was 4 and now that I am 19 I realize, I have proved those people wrong.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/41584">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/41584#comments Arts change Conferences education Global Impact motivational poetry self esteem Talents Using practical skills and talents to help others move forward. 40.665552 -74.267680 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:58:01 -0600 Reckless Liz 41584 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/41248 <p><p>My project is about getting people to forget about body image through dancing. My mother enrolled me in dance lessons at the age of 5 and I danced for 16 years. I've always felt dancing to be my power and my sanction. When i'm down I dance. When I feel un-healthy I dance. When I need a boost of self-esteem and confidence I dance. Nobody judges you when you dance but you make people smile instead. It's away of not caring what size you are but to marching to your own drum.</p> </p><p><a href="http://www.dosomething.org/node/41248">read more</a></p> http://www.dosomething.org/node/41248#comments Arts &amp; Culture energetic fun life changing self esteem simple 42.347130 -71.082340 Fri, 09 Nov 2007 10:34:38 -0600 cdavis 41248 at http://www.dosomething.org http://www.dosomething.org/node/19297 <p><p>Think Girl is a non-profit organization dedicated to informing and empowering women through the website and community programs.
