MY PROGRAM NEEDS HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS!
Friday, June 03, 2005
Fighting global poverty requires teenagers--lots and lots of them.
So my internship is all about getting high school students to learn how to be leaders in the fight against global poverty. You can find out more about it specifically at
www.NetAid.org. It’s a totally awesome program with a lot of good stuff happening, BUT we don’t have enough kids. This is something i really believe in. WOW, work that I believe in! How novel!
Anyway, this is where i need your help. Do you guys know any high shcoolers who are interested in global issues like education, HIV/AIDS, poverty, nutrition, etc.? If you do, SEND THEM MY WAY!
The program is all about connecting with others who have similar interests and linking them together in a support network so they can plan events at school that will actually have some kind of lasting impact (no depressing pictures of babies with flies and distended bellies). Some of the kids will come to New York for free for training at a week long summit. Yay! I get to attend! More jack-of-all-trades work! Woot!
Anyway, go check out the program. Send me some teens!
