HELPRZ is a club of high school students from Steamboat Springs, Colorado going to Zambia, Africa to complete service projects. I am Lennae Jenkins, club leader and Steamboat High School graduate. I lived in Zambia twice: working at a chimpanzee sanctuary and building a school for the local kids who's families work at the sanctuary. I raised over $15,000 for the building of the school.

Henry, Tennessee: A Learning Community

Henry County School System — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 14:23:23 -0500

Funds would be used to develop land into athletic/recreational playing fields. The land donated in 2006, congruent to Henry School, provides adequate space for softball, soccer/football fields, and a walking track. Funding would enable the school to purchase a backstop and fence for the softball field, and two goals and one goal post for the soccer/football fields. With these improvements made, the local board of education would allocate funds to surface a walking track.

Diversity Prom

Sam_jade — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 12:15:28 -0600

This prom is being held at the Gay and Lesbian Fund here in Colorado Springs on the 26th of April. I hope for it to be educational and fun for the entire community. We, my committee and I, are bringing in pamphlets on safer sex, tobacco prevention, drug prevention, alcohol prevention, and we're discussing STD's and making people aware of each topic. All at our prom.
I don't want this night to be just fun and games. I want to send people home knowing that somewhere in the heart of this conservative town, there are people here willing to educate, to support, and to help.

Books for the future

thierryk — Sat, 19 Jan 2008 17:01:54 -0600

People are defined by the way they act, the experiences they encounter, and the accomplishments they achieve. These three factors help create individuality and success. The events someone remembers most vividly are also the experiences that have the greatest affect on one’s life. Although I have many more years to live and places to explore, one occasion that I believe will stick with me for eternity occurred during the summer of 2007. My friend, Benny, and I founded an organization named “Books for the Future.”

Planting an Organic Garden for a School Nursery

carlymarie — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 13:54:45 -0600

Hi my name is Carly, and I am currently taking a science related community service class at my College. The assingment that my group is going to be working on is planting an organic garden for the Nursery on the schools campus. The organic garden will teach the young children about eating healthy and the responsibility of taking care of a garden. We think that the garden will be very beneficial so the children can learn about the different plants and have fun at the same time. Raising a garden will also make the children want to eat the vegetables from it since they helped grow them.
