AIDtoCHILDREN

Hello,

I got a comment on my Freerice post informing me about another great word charity site. The site is called AID to CHILDREN. Every question you get right, 25 cents is donated to help feed children. On this site, they say that 25 cents is enough to feed a child, if that is so, In five minutes I raised enough money to feed about 3o children. Imagine how many children could be fed if just 20 people did this every day for five minutes. You could end up feeding so many more people and like Gandhi says "Consciously or unconsciously, every one of us does render some service or other. If we cultivate the habit of doing this service deliberately, our desire for service will steadily grow stronger, and will make, not only our own happiness, but that of the world at large."

Sincerely,

D

Australia

Let's face the facts koalas are adorabe, and kangaroos are awesome. Snorkeling in the great barrier reef doesn't sound too bad, and learning to surf in Australia would be awesome. Does this sound like an amazing summer? It does to me, which is exactly why I am so excited! Over the summer I will (hopefully) be participating in a People to People trip to Australia. I will let you know haow it all works out. Two years ago I went on a trip to Europe and I had the time of my life. I even got to try snails and frogs legs (sounds gross, but seriously yummy).

Ta Ta For Now!

Sincerely,

D

J's first guest post!

Today is going by faster than I thought! Except for the fact tomorrow is Monday. The-first-day-back-and-everyone-looks-like-they're-the-living-dead-day. (Well, it’s sometimes true!) And, if your teacher doesn't get their coffee before school starts, you’re going to be dead before the morning even ends. But, hopefully everything will be ok.

Other than school, I might know what I am going to be for Halloween! I either might be an angel, or a devil. Or maybe even an angel with devil horns or vice-versa. Sadly boredom has taken the best of me about every weekend. Although to fix the boredom I signed up for nature drawing classes that are on Monday's from 2:30-3:30. And I am really excited. (Well, its one of the only activities left at school) Hopefully everything works out well.

Sincerely,
J

Writer's Block

OK, so NaBloPo didn't work out so well, but hey, next month is a whole new month :). So I have been trying to write a story based on the painting "The Daughters Of Edward Darley Boit". You look at the painting and you think, "oh please that would be super easy to write a story about". Well maybe for those who writing comes to naturally. (FYI this isn't me, I'm more of a poet myself). But I was surprised, the story is quite a challenge.

In other News

-The pet turkeys are doing fine, but very hungry despite the fact we feed them

-Photography class is going good, we had our first show (my pictures were nothing compared to the other pictures, but one was okay if I do say so myself)

-J will still guest post on this blog

Sincerely,

Freerice.com

I am officially able to say that I have donataed over 1000 grains of rice tonight. I know not a lot but the more I play this the more addicting it is. If you are not farmiliar with freerice, let me explain. Free Rice( http://freerice.com/index.php ) is a website where you not only brush up on your vocab or spanish (or french or german) but every time you get a question right, you have donated 20 grains of rice. It only takes two or three minutes (if you go to level one) to donate 1000 grains of rice to help world hunger. Yesterday 160,825,260 grains of rice were donated. So what are you waiting for go donate some rice at http://freerice.com/index.php

Sincerely,
