This year the volunteers will work with the people of the village to protect the sea turtle, by collecting eggs, burying them in the turtle camp, taking care of the baby turtles and doing some work collecting statistical information about the turtles. In this frame a group of international volunteers will be involved in the project, as members of the staff, which means that the volunteers will be very involved in the project and the work. The goal of this project is to protect the turtles and to help run the conservation activities of the protection turtle program promoting the international cooperation and international solidarity. The main work consists in collecting turtle eggs, burying them again in a secure place, and transporting the baby turtles safely to the sea. This will be carried out mostly at night, together with the people from Colola Village. They are the people who will work with the group and explain what to do. For this camp we will need very motivated volunteers who really want to get involved with the work of protection of the turtle. There are also some extra activities to do with the local people - to help improve the town like putting names of the streets, helping to arrange a multi-use playground and maybe some cleaning work.

<![CDATA["Never Again" ??? What the fuck does that mean if we let it happen again and again! Darfur has changed the equation. We are not all bystanders as in the past. Regular citizens around the world are standing up to demand action to save innocent lives. BUT, our leaders continue to play politics and special interest games with the lives of millions. No more business as usual! Genocide, this is what the Government of the United States declared (Sept. 2004) what is happening in Darfur. This declaration came almost 1,500 days ago! It is now over five years of genocide and approximately 450,000 women, children, and Darfuri men killed. Send a fax to the White House, you don't even need a fax machine (see faxzero.com info below). This is a nationwide effort by Darfur Guerrilla Action: <a href="http://darfurguerrillaaction.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://darfurguerrillaaction.blogspot.com/</a> ACTION! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fax the White House- Sept 29-Oct 3: To send free fax 1.

<![CDATA[Volunteers are literally, the heart of Harbor Hospice, providing a special kind of caring and compassion for our patients and their families. Every day, our volunteers make a difference in the lives of so many people. Whether they offer a listening ear to patients and families, assist with daily household activities for patients, provide grief support, serve as a companion to loved ones or share their personal expertise to help promote hospice care, the time given to Harbor Hospice families by our volunteers can be the most rewarding experiences of their lives. As a volunteer for Harbor Hospice's Patient Care Services, you "do good" every day. It takes a very special, caring person to give of themselves as unselfishly as our Harbor Hospice patient care volunteers. We need you, help make a difference.

<![CDATA[Our current (9/25/08) needs are: Daytime volunteers - to help in food pantry, clothing room, warehouse (1 - 2 hrs or more) Pantry - dry beans, mashed potatoes, rice, jelly, laundry detergent, personal care items Household - dishes, pots and pans, sheets and pillowcases, coffee pots If you are looking for a way to help the many people (especially those that can least afford the losses they sustained) who were victims of the devastating Hurricane IKE, I hope you will consider channeling that help through the Second Mile Mission Center. We opened our doors only a few hours after the hurricane had completed its destruction in our area, and those doors have been open virtually from daylight to dark since that time, as our staff and volunteers have been working long hours to help people in desperate need. Where we normally see 15 to 20 families a day, we have had over 200 families on several days since the storm. Last week we helped over 4100 individuals in 1025 families, and they continue to come in as word spreads that we are a source of help. No one has been turned away without receiving help in the form of food, water, furniture, and/or clothing, all distributed with individual counseling and a hug where appropriate, to show that someone really cares about them. 504 FM 1092, Suite 1 Stafford, TX 77477 281-403-0705]]>
