Support After School Projects
Last year, we produced a video with The After School Corporation. TASC used to have a form on their website that could be sent directly to your state representative, urging them to keep after-school funding for students. Unfortunately, the link is no longer active, but the fact that our kids need after-school programs remains. Since this was my one-minute activity for the day, I figured I could put all of the pieces together and send my own letter.
Here's how I did it:
Step 1 - locate your representatives -
To Find your Congressman
To Find your State Senators
State Assemblymen are harder, as their doesn't seem to be one site for everyone. I searched google for NY State and got this link.
Step 2 - Once you have found your representatives, find out how to contact them. Usually, there is a simple contact page.
Step 3 -Fill out the form, and include this sample letter or one of your own.
Dear Senator/Representative/Assemblyman XXXX,
I know that now is a difficult time for our state financially, but I am writing to ask you to keep funding to after school programs as they are very important to me.
I think that providing students with an outlet after school is essential for our youth.
Thank you for your time.
XXXXX
Hope this helps - Let me know!

A Lenten Proposition - The Click Sites
A Lenten Quest - Day 2: Click it!
We here at What You Can Do are big fans of the GreaterGood Network's click sites. In terms of the one-minute movement, there really isn't a better way to make a profound difference in a short amount of time.
We have produced videos on all of the click sites: The Hunger Site, The Breast Cancer Site, The Animal Rescue Site, The Child Health Site, The Literacy Site, and The Rainforest Site. In addition to these click sites, they also feature apps for iphones that allow you to Touch to Give.
We're also planning on producing a video for The Veterans' Site, the GreaterGood's newest click site that helps get meals into the hands of homeless and hungry veterans.
Writing this blog took longer than logging on to any one of these sites and clicking. In fact, clicking one site takes about five seconds (depending on your internet connection), so over here, we're in the habit of clicking all seven sites - and we can do it in under 60 seconds!
Just think, in sixty seconds, you can "give the value of 1.1 cups of food to the hungry," "help another woman in need get a free mammogram," "give the value of 0.6 bowls of food to a rescued animal," "help a homeless and hungry veteran get a free meal," "provide a child with livesaving health care," "help give a child in need a book to read and treasure," and "help protect 11.4 square feet of rainforest habitat for widlife."
Just think, if you can do some much in one minute, why wouldn't you start every day by clicking? Make it a habit - set your web page to load to one of these sites and click today!
Thanks guys - Alicia

Sharing To Learn: Inspired to Help (Part 2)
Below is Part 2 of our interview with Sharing To Learn Founder, Denise Ortiz.
1. Where would you like Sharing To Learn to be in five years?
I would love for the network of schools involved in our service-based learning program to continue to flourish. It is important to me to bring communities together so that they can learn with and from one another, bringing about a sense of understanding, respect and compassion. I also hope to have the support and funding to be able to build a state of the art, sustainable learning center for the Makuleke Community. The learning center, would serve as a platform for community development and would consist of four components: a spacious library, a technology center, an educational resource center as well as an art center. This learning center would give the village the infrastructure so that people could have the tools and resources to help themselves out of poverty.
2. What advice would you give someone who is inspired to start a
nonprofit?
My advice would be to welcome all of the help that people offer to you. Find a way for them to fit into your vision and allow them to be of service. I am only able to do the work that I do with the help of others.
3. How can someone get involved in your organization?
I welcome the support of anyone who is inspired by the Makuleke Community. Running a non-profit is a lot of work! The more help that I receive the better! I am always in need of people helping to network and fundraise - which could be simple events , such as lemonade stands, walkathons, hosting dinner parties, etc. I also love to accommodate people with an interest in traveling to South Africa and working driectly with the Makuleke Community.
6. What has been the greatest surprise thus far in getting Sharing To
Learn off the ground?
The greatest surprise has been the most lovely surprise: that by creating a non-profit organization, I was simultaneously creating a forum for a community of caring, compassionate and inspired individuals to come together and change the world for the better.

Sharing To Learn: Inspired to Help (Part 1)
What long ago I ran into a neighbor in my apartment building. I hadn't seen her in a while and so we stopped to chat for a bit. While I was prepared to hear about how her job was going about any run-of-the-mill updates in her life, I was totally unprepared to hear about her creating a nonprofit to help a community in South Africa. Amazed at her passion, I told her about "What You Can Do" and how what she was doing was exactly the sentiment that WYCD is trying to encourage. Wanting to spread the word about her inspiring story, I asked if I could interview her about her new organization, Sharing To Learn. Below is Part 1 of our interview.
1. What made you want to start Sharing To Learn? How did it come about?
I have always been interested in helping others,most especially in making a difference in the lives of children. While I did not know that I would create a non-profit organization, everything that I have ever done in my life has prepared me for this: teaching early childhood education for eleven years, living abroad for nine years, studying psychology, as well as education, etc. Throughout my career as an educator, it has always been a priority for me to create nurturing classrooms, where children develop a sense of compassion for their peers. Creating curriculum that brought children from opposite ends of the globe together, while working towards social change came very naturally to me. When I realized the opportunity to create my non-profit organization, Sharing to Learn, it made so much sense to me and seemed to be the most meaningful thing that I could do with my life. Through my organization, I am able to help empower thousands of children, vs. a classroom of twenty.
When I visited Makuleke in July, 2008 for the first time, I was struck by two things in particular: the utter poverty in which children (and adults) lived with on a daily basis, the lack of food, shoes and adequate clothing, as well as the lack of adequate healthcare and education. I was also struck by the fact that in spite of how little the people of this poor village had, they were the most giving and generous people that I had ever met. In Makuleke, one lives with the African philosophy of ubuntu, which means that a person is a person through other people; one lives in the present moment and with an open heart. The little that one has, one shares. This generosity of spirit resonated with me very much. The people of this village had taught me many lessons on a happy way of living life. When I returned to NYC after my initial 8-day trip, I found it very difficult to continue living my life as if I did not know the poverty in which my new friends were living. Most especially, I knew that the children (orphans) that I had come to care so much about really were not going to have an opportunity to lift themselves out of the cycle of poverty with the education system that they had in place - an education without books. It was then that I began collecting books to set up the Makuleke Village's first community library in July 2009. While working to accomplish that task, I found all the purpose and meaning in life. It was then that I realized the big picture: that I could indeed impact thousands of children's lives by providing the tools to a more solid education and thus giving them a viable way out of poverty. I created my non-profit organization in the state of New York in February, 2010.
2. Can you tell us what Sharing To Learn does?
Through global education, Sharing to Learn creates a forum for children around the world to be part of the solution to poverty. We create service-based learning experiences for schools, linking them with the Makuleke Community in South Africa. Children begin to learn with and from another culture, while also working towards social justice and a world of equality. Children as young as three years of age participate in our programs, becoming young social entrepreneurs. Through our curriculum, students begin to realize when something is not fair and they take action. For example, as a Kindergarten class in NYC learned about the Makuleke Community, they realized that the village did not have a library and that books were scarce. They took the initiative to create a village library. They collected hundreds of books, sorted them and prepared them to be shipped; they also held a bake sale to raise money for the library's bookshelves. STL provides a platform for children to become change-agents at a very early age. Global education is at the core of STL; learning centers established in the Makuleke Village are the offshoots of this learning.

Go Green Back to School - an Opening Blog
This week, our focus at “What You Can Do” is about being more environmentally conscious during the school year. In producing this week, one particular video sparked some debate. In a video about school supplies, we suggested that if parents have more time, they organize a clothing swap with their community. While we all agreed that the idea is a good one – buying new clothes every year for school can get expansive and also be wasteful – we wondered whether this was an idea few families would follow through on. When I was a kid, back-to-school shopping was one of the few upsides to returning to school in the Fall. It was always fun to have a few new outfits for the school year. I wonder how it would have felt if my mom, in lieu of the shopping trip, organized a clothing swap with my friends. Would I have felt slighted or would it have been more fun to sort through my friends’ clothes?
Now, I love the idea of a clothing swap. In fact, twice a year, Alicia goes through her closet and pulls out the things she no longer wants or just never wears and everyone in the office picks through her giveaway pile and takes whatever they want. For me now, the idea of saving money on clothing by taking what my friend no longer wants, is quite a bargain. Can children understand that concept; or is new always better to them?
