posted message: 2) Create an eco friendly station in one part of the neighborhood. Implement a garden and begin to spread it to become a vegetable garden/communal garden for neighborhoods that could use the food! We would start out with an area that needs cleaned, taken care of. We would clean up, clear an area to plant seeds like tomatoes or peppers, and then eventually handover to someone nearby to expand it to help serve others! Periodically, like roadside cleanup, or Adopt A Highway, we can create Adopt a garden for serving food to those that might be homeless. This will help others begin to have a purpose to helping each other!
posted message: Give me an idea and I will develop/submit it!
1) take over a low income area building, build trees, install a coffee pot and supplies, and create a community gathering run coffee shop to create awareness of eduction, technology, and crating a communal sharing of education. Slowly, this will spread! We can use students from school as volunteers, display art, and begin to branch out starting with smaller one stand coffee shops, reclaiming a sense of individuality to neighborhoods while spreading the chance for education to be shared.
posted message: What do you think of this?
Apparently there's this little league in CA who can't afford to pay their fees for this season, and some company stepped in to donate the fees for them. Once they found out they were a Gentleman's Club, they refused the money and turned them down, and now they're still in the hole, and they might not be able to play this season. What the heck? Who cares what company donated it? It's not like it's stolen drug money.
posted message: Hello to the mentors out there!
My students' groups are going to be posting their project ideas in the section of: Form your team + identify your project. I would appreciate it if you could read over a few of them each (divide and conquer?) and provide the groups with feedback about their ideas as you all have experience considering both what a grant wants to read and also experience considering all of the ins and outs of developing a project.
Thanks so much.

posted message: Hello, we are Micky and Alejandro and we just posted our first Grant idea under the task of forming our own team and identifying our project, aiming towards the improvement of the usage of technology at school and the awareness of how to utilize it through multiple methods. It would be great if a mentoring student could look at our project idea and give us some feedback to further improve it. Thank you!

posted message: Negativity -
Okay, here is another thought - how do you handle negativity? Sure, the previous instance is one, how about when you try to organic, and people not necessarily attack you, but point fingers on the negative? For example - we are planning Battle of the Bands 2012, and donating a large proportion to the Tarahamura in Mexico. (I have done Battle of the Bands for 6 years). Someone wrote the following:
"harry y r u running battle when ur not here?.................... and who made the deciison to have the money given to you?" Just to clarify - I am getting NOTHING from running this concert from Mexico, lol, it is going to charity and some back to PAVE to do this next year again, but as a group, how do you respond? (or clarify)
posted message: Application of grants - Here are some ideas - National Volunteer Week in the U.S is in April (15-21st) , a great initiative is to put some work into the Soroptomist Park and get volunteers to PR neighboring businesses, asking for mulch, other items, to clean up and add to the park this week, including elementary and secondary educators and students! Also, March 24th is a Beach Grass planting opportunity at Bethany! All exciting things that PAVE - our group in handles and enacts getting others involved! Is there a National Volunteer Week in Mexico? If not, how can individuals in Mexico parallel those students in that week alongside Delaware? (Some great options here for the grants that are available!)
posted message: Here is a dilemma we need help on! - Rehoboth Beach in the area wants to organize a night to post posters for the Kony2012 event, but they found this restriction in the city rules/laws...
§ 232-55
Violations and penalties.
Any person, firm or corporation violating any of the provisions of this article shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction thereof, shall be fined not less than $25 nor more than $100 and shall pay the costs of prosecution. For the purposes of this article, each day that a violation continues or is committed shall be deemed to be a separate offense.
There are more laws, but what can we do to get this through? No signs on trees, cars, etc allowed, so what can we do?! :)
posted message: Hola! Okay, so those of you that have started in Ms Dixie's classes and Mr Alaniz, let me know what you need! You should have had a time to design an idea you'd to enact as a project - now if you need help finding a grant to make it fit - let me know!
So far I have a few students I have contacted regarding also being on hand - I need to get the others to commit to a specific set of days to help as well! :) (hint!)

posted message: WELCOME TO THE FIRST DAY of P2PU! We have about 50-60 students that will be sign on on this week - and to prepare, I though it might be good to have the following:
1)Make sure you have an intro about yourself up!
2)go to http://harrybrake.wordpress.com and look for the blog, "P2PU Mexico Meets Delaware!" and check out the handout we have to classes! They are excited to start and will be signing up this week! We need to make sure those students from DE and Mexico signed a mentors are familiar with P2PU, as well as those students/adults that want to learn how to write grants - please see what YOU, as a general search, can find under the term - service community grants. Add them to our"grant opportunities" section the the left and bottom!
