We Are All Connected: Cans, bottles, and old cell phones = helping African children

Cans, bottles, and old cell phones = helping African children

On October 25, 2013 we had our first Recycling Event at Vista Grande. It was a good beginning. Some children (and their families, thank you Julie Domde!) really applied themselves and brought a lot of cans and bottles to us.

Thank you kids! You are helping the environment and Dr. Hodes!

We also were able to collect 15 old cell phones with another four my husband gave to us. Yesterday we mailed 19 cell phones to Recycle Rewards, to be recycled for money for our cause! As soon as the company informs us how much we raised, we will let you know.

So, please start to collect your bottles and cans for next even, November 22, and start to talk to your relatives and neighbors to see if they have old cell phones to donate to us. And to all the students from Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville California, see you on the last Friday of November!

What is our mission?

Our mission is to raise awareness among children illustrating how we are all truely connected and how by working together we can make a difference in the world.

We want to carry our message to children in cities, states, and countries throughout the world conveying this message of being connected and through efforts supporting voluntary causes at their schools they can help children in need.

Our current project is to raise awareness and funds to assist Dr. Rick Hodes in providing medical care and clean water to children of East Africa. This project has two primary beneficial objectives:

First is educational: Children at their schools, with the help of their teachers and administrators can work together to help those in need. Each and every child realizes he/she can make a difference!

Second is financial: Our objective to raise money in each school through special fundraisers, as well as permanent recycling of bottles, cans and cell phones.

How can you help?

We would love your participation by motivating your school to embrace our mission and adopting our current fundraising project for Dr.Hodes cause at your school. One successful example is Vista Grande Elementary School in Danville California. See our blog post about their fundraiser: Vista Grande Fundraiser

You can also contribute by donating your used cell phones to any local school participating in this project.

We believe this message is important to be shared with your children. To illustrate the value of their efforts, to show how we are all connected, and how powerful a difference they can make by helping others!
