This is the spirit of volunteering; Ben & Jason with friends raising money in the week-long Mannequin Challenge which raised over £15,000 for St Michaels Hospice in Harrogate. Incredible vocals by Annie Drury.

ACT on CO2 Carbon Calculator

Oneclimate.net just advised me about the Carbon Footprint Calculator, designed to make it easier for individuals to consider their own impact on the environment, through the use of home electrical applicances, transport, etc. Its simple to use .. for more info go here and spread the word to all. Thanks to David Milliband, Secretary of State for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (UK)

Fly with Emirates

We'd like to thank Emirates Airline for offering free excess baggage to our volunteers taking over donated classroom supplies and other items for the orphanages & schools, during this Summers volunteer programme.



Emirates have confirmed they will waive the charges on an extra 20kgs of baggage for a volunteer on their outbound flight, putting the authority into the booking so it will be seen by the check-in agents on arrival at the airport.



Thanks especially to Lesley Walsh at Emirates, Wilmslow UK

Big thanks & favours

I really want to mention & recommend OneWorld.Net for the wonderful contribution they make. We recently partnered with them and they've given us such massive assistance. Thanks especially to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it '>Gabrielle Hamm, Partnerships Coordinator in London for listing our vacancies, our events, our website, no one could be more generous.



It doesn't surprise me that Kofi Annan recommends OneWorld.net as one of his favourite websites, reflecting his belief that “information and communications technologies are enormously powerful tools for development.

 

Take a look at their main site and also the new OneClimate.net an alternative to Rupert Murdoch's MySpace, focused on climate change. Our main project at the moment is promoting solar cooking, featuring soon on the site. How simple but effective the concept is, helping people, the environment, health, ecosystem all in one.

We're fast approaching the start of
the Summer Volunteer Programme and we're still in negotiation for the
following projects, to run alongside Solar Cooking introduction and
promotion :





1. Kenyan Ministry of Health Dental Clinics to run at each host site.


2. Glyconutrient distribution to children

3. Malaria prevention education .. distributing literature and nets via KeNAAM

4. Sanitary pad distribution and education to young girls

5. Assistance with the incredible work carried out by V-Day



We hope to confirm our wishlist for the programmer shortly.

If we can help with any other projects during our 5 weeks programme let us know.
