It lies on the east part of the Semarang municipality and is surrounded by corn fields. This village is also located in a hilly karstic area, on the south part with oak trees. The local community appreciates the presence of international volunteers and believes in the possibility to improve the centre through the exchange of good practices and ideas with the volunteers. The project site will be in a small local kindergarden school, named TK Pertiwi. The school has only 1 teacher with around 40 students, and is located next to the village’s elementary school. The volunteers will contribute by painting the kindergarden’s building, and will do small renovations of the playground.

<![CDATA[We desperately need compassionate volunteers to help these Animals at <a href="http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm</a> to spread their message around. Each day, thousands of animals around the world experience nightmarish abuse, torture and pain. Their cries, whimper and howls are hidden away from civilized lives in our town, yet unknowing consumers are increasing the cruel treatment of these caged and helpless animals through the choices they make. Do you care enough to volunteer to spend some time 2-3 times a week to find animal -related news to post blog entries on myspace and facebook, or better still create your own blog / website? E.g. see my website/ blog : <a href="http://www.Heart4Animals.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.Heart4Animals.com</a> I started updating this website with animal-related news because the more people know what animals go through, the more people will refrain from buying products which will further increase animal suffering e.g. fur / fur-lined sweaters / outercoats (see picture below). Part 2 If you or if you know of anyone who know Mandarin, Japanese, Korean, Farsi, or any other language please enlist their participation as these are enormous markets that not exposed to the cruelty involved in the animal trade, and also, the animal organizations have not been able to penetrate into these markets deep enough. .( See <a href="http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/29/uncategorized/animal-suffering-continues-in-korea.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/29/uncategorized/animal-suffering-continues-in-korea.htm</a> Try to enlist people who know such language to start blogs / facebook / myspace / zorpia accounts to spread the message around. Please tell your friends / relatives about the horrible cruelty involved at <a href="http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.heart4animals.com/2008/04/18/uncategorized/against-fur-farms-in-china-we-need-500-signatures.htm</a> to raise their awareness and ask them not to buy any fur-lined sweaters / outercoats as an animal has to go through an agonizing and slow death to provide the fur. ]]>

<![CDATA[Needed Donated Space for Testing/Storing Used Computers for Overseas Schools The local Chicago chapter of World Computer Exchange needs a secure space about the size of a two-car garage with available electricity. The space will be used for drop-offs when volunteers are present and then testing and storing of the equipment until we have 200 full sets to fill a shipping container. The donation of this space to our nonprofit is tax deductible. World Computer Exchange works to bridge the digital divide for the world's poorest youth by collecting donated, working computers and shipping them overseas to schools, orphanages, and libraries. Our volunteers also work to strengthen these schools and youth organizations in developing countries. We ship working Pentium 3 and above computer sets to groups that have submitted sustainable plans for placing, using, and caring for these computers. While giving these computers new lives, it also helps the environment by keeping computers out of landfills. Taking apart an old computer and manufacturing a new one makes 25 times the carbon footprint. Visit www.WorldComputerExchange.org for more information.

And signing up for a One Brick event is as easy as the click of a mouse. If you're looking for a fun way to give back to the community and meet like-minded social volunteers, then One Brick is the way to go. Here's an upcoming event you might be interested in...

This enables people to get involved, have an impact and have fun, without the requirements of individual long-term commitments. When we finish each volunteer project, we gather as a group at a local bar or restaurant for food, drinks and the opportunity to continue to get to know each other. This helps to create a really fun social outlet as part of your volunteer experience. Here's a little more information about the upcoming event: About Chicago Light's Elam Davies Social Service Center: The Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC) provides services for adults and families who are homeless or living in poverty due to the lack of affordable housing and other issues that result in homelessness. Practicing hospitality to strangers is fundamental to EDSSC's mission. The Center serves more than 10,000 dinners and lunches each year, helps people to find solutions for meeting other basic needs, and accompanies people on their journey to self sufficiency. The Center has served "the least, the last, and the lonely" with dignity and respect since 1983. For more information, visit www.chicagolights.org. Twice a year, the Elam Davies Social Service Center (EDSSC) reorganizes its clothing closet to accommodate clothing that is suitable for the appropriate season. One Brick volunteers assist with the spring "switchover" so that the closet is fully stocked with appropriate clothes to meet guests' needs. Other Event Info: Please wear comfortable clothing (layers recommended). As a safety precaution, all participants are strongly encouraged to wear closed toe shoes.

<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.cadip.org/volunteer-in-iceland.htm" rel="nofollow"> <img border="0" src="http://www.cadip.org/camps/volunteer-iceland-5.jpg" align="right"> Building a Home for the Trolls </a> June 22 - July 6, 2008 July 8 - July 22, 2008 July 24 - August 7, 2008 August 10 - August 24, 2008 This project will take place in Reykjanesbær which is a major center of fishing and fish processing, although in recent years tourism has played an increasingly important role in the local economy. Reykjanes has something for everyone. Steeped in a rich vein of history, folklore and tradition, the region is also home to some of the world's greatest geological wonders, including the Reykjanes Ridge, meeting place of the Eurasian and American continental plates. Teeming with a wealth of bird and marine life whose habitats lie amid some of Iceland's most spectacular coastal scenery, Reykjanes is the natural choice for all lovers of the outdoors. In this town, the authorities are very open for new ideas, for example here you can find the former NATO base which is now becoming a University village and a centre of art and film making. The authorities are now planning to build “a home for Trolls” near to the port of the town, close to the center. Like elves, trolls are also part of the ancient heritage of the Scandinavian mythology. Although they are human-like in form, they are still inhumanly strong, huge and ugly. They are very often thought to be fearsome and cruel creatures. But, like elves, trolls often treat people as they are treated and they return favors for favors, exerting vengeance if harmed. Trolls live in mountains, caves and cliffs, especially bird cliffs. Like humans, they live together socially. They fish, cultivate land and keep animals. They are also very good at handicrafts and hold feasts. There is a very well known art group here in Iceland called Nordan Bál that has been doing all kind of art and performances in Iceland. This group will do the construction of the Cave (home) of the Trolls and also make the furniture and other things that they need for their daily life. Everything will be oversized so it will fit the big creatures. The international volunteers will help the art group to build the home and will also do some environmental work in the area around the place. Please notice that we will work with heavy things so the work can be physically demanding.

AB, B, A or O I already donated a kidney and it was the greatest experience of my life! I can give you all the info you need. I am trying to help others find a kidney, including this Chicago man. He may soon have to go on dialysis if he doesn't find a donor and will be hooked up to a machine, 3 days a week for a few hours at a time! Please help him avoid this terrible situation! He is registered with Northwestern hospital in Chicago. Please contact me! No obligation. Will answer all questions. Sincerely, Chaya Lipschutz KidneyMitzvah@aol.com P.S. Below is a picture of me on the right with the person I donated a kidney to. This picture was taken at a booth I had to promote kidney donation at an Expo at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, New York City. * * * * “Just think, people have no problem having only one kidney – so we have to ask, why did G-d give us two kidneys? Perhaps it is so you would have an extra one to donate and save a life!” - Dr. Stuart Greenstein, Kidney Transplant Surgeon, Montefiore Medical Center “There’s a lot of misconceptions about kidney donation and a lot of fear. But if people take the time to get the facts, they find out the risks are very minimal. People are born with two kidneys.
