<![CDATA[ In the Four Hour Work Week, Tim Ferris challenges his readers to get used to acting and thinking "outside the box."  He suggests various exercises called "comfort challenges."  One of the comfort challenges suggested by Mr. Ferris is to ask a complete stranger for his/her phone number . We have another way to practice stepping outside the box.  Help us collect signatures. I'm Rob McCarthy and am running for U.S. Congress in the 6th Congressional District of Massachusetts.  The communities in the 6th District are listed below, but  most are in Essex County and some in Middlesex County. I'm asking volunteers to stand outside supermarkets and post offices and ask people to sign my nomination papers. It is easy to do, but does require stepping outside the "comfort zone" for some. For those who would feel more comfortable, simple ask your family, friends and relatives to sign the nomination papers.  Either way your help would be greatly appreciated, valued and you will be helping to continue the tradition of our democratic process. We'll let you know what to say and where to stand. Please respond to this Craigslist posting to volunteer or to request more information.  We'll get right back to you. Thank you! To learn more about me and my campaign visit my web site at:  <a href="http://www.vote4rob.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.vote4rob.org</a> ********************** The 6th Massachusetts Congressional District comprises the following cities and towns: Essex: Cities: Amesbury, Beverly, Gloucester, Lynn, Newburyport, Peabody and Salem.

<![CDATA[Discovery Studios is producing a new documentary style series which will air on TLC. It is setting out to help families whose lives have been disrupted by chronic disorganization and compulsive hoarding. We’re looking for people who are willing to share their stories on camera and want to get professional help to organize their clutter and change their lives. The goal of the series is to promote better understanding of what compulsive hoarding and acquiring is, what steps can be taken to deal with the issue, and how a comprehensive exploration of this common problem can lead to positive change for the people involved. The documentary style series will explore various facets of hoarding through the personal stories of people who hoard and those affected by it. Situations could involve one or multiple people hoarding in the same family; people attempting to cope with a hoarding issue. We understand the very personal, and sometimes embarrassing, nature of this issue. Our series will treat all program participants with respect and compassion. For those willing to participate, we are offering therapy with top mental health professionals as well as professional organizers to help start the de-cluttering process. If you are interested in discussing the project further with the producers please contact us at: E-mail: tlchoarding@gmail.com Phone: 240-662-4163. ]]>

<![CDATA[<table><tr><td> <a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-zambia.htm" rel="nofollow"> <h2> Construction of a dormitory for orphans in Rufunsa </h2> </a> <dl><dd> June 6 - June 19, 2010</dd></dl> Rufunsa was originally part of the South Luangwa Game Reserve. Sadly there are very few animals in the area due to illegal game hunting and poaching. It is located 170 km East of Lusaka. The community is very small and yet has many orphans. Many parents have been killed by HIV or malaria, other could not get proper health care. The community came together and founded the Blessed Hope orphanage. It is run by members of the community and it has gotten some funds from the Government. However, these funds are not enough to enable them to complete the construction of the orphanage. The volunteers will continue the construction of the dormitory for the children that was started last year. This work will involve carrying sand on wheel barrows from a nearby stream to the project site, moving blocks from the place they were made to the site. Then the volunteers will construct the dorms. Volunteers will also make visits to the local school and the high school nearby. Accommodation: The volunteers will be accommodated in locally made huts. The project site is located far from town and so volunteers would have to get essential supplies whilst still in Lusaka. Arrival remark: Volunteers attending the project should arrive two days before its commencement to attend an orientation meeting.

Inspired by the theories of Rudolf Steiner, Sólheimar has focused on cultivating both the individual and the environment and it is the first community in Scandinavia to practice organic farming. Today, Sólheimar (the home of the sun) is a charming village of about 100 inhabitants, renowned for its international, artistic and ecological atmosphere, which prides itself on its varied cultural, social and sporting activities. The village is only a one-hour drive from Reykjavik. The volunteers will mostly work in the Ölur Forestry Centre (the only organic reforestation centre in Iceland) and in the Sunna Organic Cultivation Centre. During the project, other tasks may arise depending on the needs of the community. The work in Ölur, and in the village as well, will mostly consist in building paths and planting trees in Southern Iceland Farm Forest. In Sunna we will be planting vegetables, eradicating weeds and other gardening work.

It is mainly funded by the Central Java department of health and closely cooperates with the statutory health services and the Faculty of Medicine of the Diponegoro University. We would like to host foreign volunteers because we believe that their interaction with the children, during education and vocational classes and other therapeutic activities will be of great benefit as our students have little or no chances to meet and live with people from other cultures. The intercultural dimension that their presence will generate will also be welcomed and valued by the local staffs. The support that the volunteers will give to our teaching staff , particularly those teaching English, will be invaluable. The role of the volunteers will be assisting local teacher in classes like teaching basic conversation in English, helping teacher in giving training on physical activities of the disabled students like making simple handicrafts, playing, doing simple sport etc. The volunteers' influence on students is expected to create a sense of knowledge of other realities of the disabled kids and other cultures in a way that improves their own perception of themselves and what they can achieve. Also to open the mind of international volunteers that the disabled students also need attention to face their future. It will also give opportunity for the international volunteers about the treatment that should be done by the families of disabled children. Study theme: The volunteers will be introduced to the education activities of the disabled students related with Indonesian culture and customs in general.

You will find a statue of the demon on Chamundi hill which commemorates this event. In this project the volunteers will work with different organizations involved in the development of the underprivileged. The slum reality is a big issue in the entire country. The aim is to spread awareness among the people and to give them more instruments to feel confident and free to decide for their future, and for the future of a new generation. The mission of this project is to: • Organize a multi-purpose project to involve the community and sensitize the local people about the Health & Hygiene problems. • Educate the children to build a better and more conscious society. • Spread awareness on Women rights issues and social welfare; • Environmental issues. • Working with other NGOs in community service projects.

Think of the qualities of a great city - fun, space, clean air, nature, culture - and Reykjavik has them in spades. It has the features of a modern, forward-looking society which are complemented by a close connection to beautiful nature. The population of the Reykjavik Capital Area is about 200,000. Reykjavik is spread across a peninsula with a panoramic view of the mountains and the Atlantic Ocean on almost all sides. In the summer, you can sit by the harbour at midnight and watch the sun dip slightly below the horizon before it makes its way up again. The world’s northernmost capital is framed by the majestic Mt. Esja, which keeps a watchful eye on the city, and the blue waters of Faxafloi Bay. On a sunny day, the mystical Snaefellsjokull glacier appears crystal-like on the western horizon, while mountainous moonscapes spread to the southeast. The volunteers will be hosted by the City of Reykjavik and their task is to help the local authorities to make the city center a better place to stay. The group will clean tags, paint old houses and will also work in the green areas in Öskjuhlíð and Elliðaárdalur. We will also clean the coastline in the city area.

Thus, by collecting eggs from the females and by taking care of them during the whole process of incubation up to the birth of the baby turtles, volunteers and local people contribute to the preservation of these species. Through different activities throughout the year the “Sirenito Macho” project helps to prevent the turtle eggs being stolen, ensuring the turtles’ reproduction in permanence in the zone. Through these activities the organization looks also for increasing the conscience within the local population and local and federal authorities about the importance of preserving these species as well as about ecological matters. It promotes as well a deep cultural exchange between the local people and international volunteers. The volunteers will carry out different tasks to help preserve two different kinds of marine turtle (Lepidochelys Olivacea and Dermochelys Coracea) by collecting the eggs that the females lay down in the zone and putting them into a yard at the “Sirenito Macho” camping. They will take care of them up to the baby turtles’ birth and help to lead them to the ocean and release them. They will also help to collect statistical data and will patrol the zone where the turtles nest by night. They will have, finally, the opportunity to help cleaning the beach.

Although it remains among the most traditional areas of the country, it is also the poorest and less developed part in terms of infrastructure or industry; creating a huge rural exodus and migration from the Isan inhabitants to Bangkok. The Khueang Nai District administration wants to dynamize the Deng Mor rural areas and stimulate English learning through the international volunteers' presence. The main target group of the project will be young people and children. Inside this larger framework, each project will address the specific target group in different villages in the Deng Mor area. Cultural exchange is the main work of the project. The volunteers will discover the typical Isan culture and traditions, visiting villagers, farmers and local artisans, helping them in their tasks. The volunteers will also hold English teaching workshops for the children of several district villages. The exact nature of the work will depend of the needs of the village at the time of the project. Study theme: The volunteers will learn about the culture of rural Thailand in general and the traditions and specificity of the Isan region. Thai language lessons will also be given to the volunteers. Special requirements: A correct level of English language and the will to teach it to kids is obviously necessary. The volunteers need also to be motivated to discover Thai culture and to present the one of their country of origin. Leisure time: Leisure time will be organised by the volunteers with the support of the group leader. The closest city is far but accessible. The region isn't very tourist attractive as such but the nature is of extraordinary beauty: rice fields, small temples and natural parks are all over the region. New years Eve, according to the Thai Buddhist calendar takes place in April. The volunteers in the April group will have the great chance to attend the ceremonies and festivities in the village with the local population. Accommodation: The volunteers will be hosted in a traditional Isan house in the community and have access to the same basic conditions as any villager. Location: The Deng Mor sub-district area is about 20 km far from Khueang Nai city and 60 km north west of Ubon Ratchatani city, in the Isan region, North east of Thailand.

The orphanage has a wide variety of courses for children ranging from infants to 18 years old. For example, children between the ages of 6 to 12 will be provided with educational courses, and the older children are able to attend vocational training courses at the centre. While special education helps to lessen the burden of children’s families by teaching the disabled to help themselves with personal activities, the vocational training programs enable handicapped children to earn their living and be able to live independently in the future. Volunteers will help organizing games and educational activities for children in the orphanage and exchanging with local volunteers or staff. Sometimes volunteers can help with some renovation work.

They are called "companions". The community provides them with a place where they can live and work. It is a place where people live together in a spirit of solidarity. Some companions live there temporarily while going trough a tough phase in life and the community supports them towards social reinsertion; others see life in the community as an alternative way of life. There are 3 founding principles in all Emmaus Communities: welcoming people (everybody whatever their origin and their past); working, which is seen as fundamental for a sound life and as the way to reinsertion and reconstruction of self esteem; sharing is the third pillar of life in the community. The group of volunteers (max 7 participants) will share the life and activities of the companions, organised around the collecting, fixing and selling of second-hand articles in the community shops. The volunteers will be associated to the daily tasks carried out all year round by the companions. Work from Tuesday to Saturday, days off on Sunday and Monday. Some days, volunteers may work at the Montelimar community, located 35 km South from Valence.

Around 1400 BC the Aryans paid a visit and settled forever in the area. The local population was pushed down south and towards the east. Afghans, Turks, Persians and Mughals followed in mixing their blood, first in war then in peace, with the existing original inhabitants. This blending gave the martial lineage to the Rajputs. Mount Abu is the highest peak in the Aravalli range and the only hill station in Rajasthan state. The mountain forms a distinct rocky plateau 22 km long by 9km wide. The highest peak on the mountain is Guru Shikhar at 1722 metres above sea level. It is referred to as an 'oasis in the desert', as its heights are home to rivers, lakes, waterfalls and evergreen forests. Mount Abu is home to a number of Jain temples. This volunteer project involves teaching basic English and Mathematics, Health and Hygiene, Environmental protection to children from poor background in the non-formal schools. There will also be House visits and meetings with rural people to give awareness about health, education and hygiene. Volunteers can take the school children to places in the city like picnics, exposure visits and city walks. Also, the volunteers will get a chance to take part in the renovation work at local schools and orphanages (painting, building playgrounds, etc).
