<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.researchstudy1.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.researchstudy1.blogspot.com/</a> *Thank you for clicking here. Please continue reading! I am in great need of participants* I am conducting research for my doctoral dissertation at American University examining how culture and ethnicity may affect social anxiety, in particular with different Asian American groups. I am seeking Asian American adults (18 years and older) to fill out a short series of questionnaires online (please go to: <a href="http://www.researchstudy1.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.researchstudy1.blogspot.com/</a> to be directed to the survey) . Asian Americans without social anxiety, or those who are not sure, are also needed for this study for comparison purposes. There has been little research done on how various factors affect Asian American mental health. This study hopes to contribute to the field of understanding Asian Americans, and lead to effective treatments in Asian American mental health. It should take you less than 35 minutes and you will be entered into a lottery for a $60 gift certificate from the store of choice (Target, Amazon.com, Sephora, Best Buy). All adults (18 years and older) are very welcome to participate! Strict confidentiality is maintained. If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact the principal investigator of this study at SocialAnxietyandEthnicity@gmail.com . Your kind participation is deeply appreciated!

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. The official language of the workcamp is English. Some Spanish would be appreciated.

<![CDATA[Love kittens? Want to help save some lives? Then help our tiny rescue organization foster kittens we've saved from euthanization at local shelters. We have two very specific situations for which we need temporary foster homes for kittens: 1. Temporary foster for two 3 month old kittens from 8/16-8/29; 2. Foster for two to three 3 month old kittens. However, we always need foster homes for kittens and cats (and puppies and dogs, if you're interested). Will you have to pay for their food or medical care, should any become necessary? No. Will you have to cart the kittens around or arrange to have them adopted out? No. All we want from you is a warm and loving, temporary home for kittens while we advertise for loving adoptive homes. Please email or call (323.718.1648) us if you're interested in helping take care of sweet, snuggly kittens. ]]>

<![CDATA[I have been motivated to run the L.A. AIDS Marathon. That's right, 26.2 miles! I'll be running the LA AIDS Marathon on February 16, 2009. It will take me six months to prepare in a training program, I am running a little further each week…I expect to record nearly 500 miles. I've far from considered myself to be a runner before, with the exception of a 1-2 mile run on the treadmill, and here I am training for my very first marathon. To prove my perseverance, and the chance to make a difference in people's lives, I will run this Marathon. More then 450,000 Americans have died from AIDS and over a MILLION more are living with HIV. AIDS has infected more then 60 MILLION people worldwide and is now the leading cause of death among all people 15-59 years of age. In considering the enormous effect of AIDS has in the world today, I feel I am not only taking part in something that affects the individual, but something that affects us all. My goal is to raise $1,800.00 before December 19, 2008, to assist APLA in continuing their miraculous services and help people living with HIV/AIDS. I am asking for your support. Any donation you can make to help me meet my goal would be most appreciated!! $10, $20, $50, or $100 ANY AMOUNT WILL HELP. If you would like to contribute, please visit my AIDS Marathon website at www.aidsmarathon.com to make a donation on my behalf. It's extremely easy just click on the button, "Sponsor A Runner", Los Angeles, enter my name or runner number which is LA-2177 and you can use your credit card. It's very easy. If you'd like you can e-mail me back with your mailing address and I can mail you a donor form and return envelope, so you could send a check. Lastly, please help spread the word, everyone's help is greatly appreciated and needed. So go ahead and forward this email to all your friends and family members, and let them know what a great deed someone you know is doing! Thanks again, Darlene Molina ]]>

The Long Beach Job Corps Center is a premier training program that links skilled young adults with employers for the betterment of society. In September 2006, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Job Corps launched an initiative designed to improve students’ preparedness for careers in the high-demand industries of the 21st century. This new initiative, called STARS (Speakers, Tutors, Achievement, Retention, Success), increases Job Corps students’ academic achievement, career skills attainment, and retention in the program by providing motivational speakers to inspire them, and highly qualified tutors and mentors to assist them with academics, career technical training and personal and social development. Tutoring helps provide many benefits to Job Corps students who receive tutoring: - Offers more individualized, systematic, structured learning experience - Provides greater congruence between teacher and learner, closer role model - Improves academic performance and personal growth - Improves attitude toward subject area - Generates stronger effects than other individualized teaching strategies - Motivates self-paced and self-directed learning - Provides intensive practice for students who need it - Improves self-esteem Tutor Qualifications To be eligible to volunteer as a STARS Tutor, individuals must possess the following qualifications: - Able to provide academic and career technical assistance to youth ages 16-24 - Must be at least 18 years of age - Familiar with issues that may impact learning for students with educational, workplace and personal challenges - Comfortable as role models - Committed and flexible - Committed to a minimum of one and a half (1.5) hours twice each month - Able to use several teaching methodologies to work with the student - Open to working with youth of all cultures, races, ethnicities - Able adapt to each student’s individual needs - Good listener and patient - Believes sincerely that all Job Corps students are capable of academic excellence In addition, all STARS volunteers will undergo phone and in-person interviews, background checks, and reference checks. Mentoring brings young people together with caring individuals in a structured environment who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee. Across the country, youth mentoring continues to garner praise and expand as a way to assist youth in navigating the sometimes difficult transition to adulthood. The goal of the STARS mentoring program on each Job Corps center is to provide students with well-structured mentoring relationships to assi
