Be an African American
Hero to a Child with Sickle Cell Disease!
Through a one-of-a-kind
program, the American Red Cross and local children’s hospitals are improving
care for children with sickle cell disease -- and we need your help! Sickle
cell disease is an inherited disease that affects more than 90,000 people in
the United States, ninety percent of whom are of African descent.
There is no cure for
sickle cell disease, but good medical care, including blood transfusions, can
help manage and prevent the pain and
serious complications of
the disease.
What You Can Do To Help
Blood donors are the real
heroes in this story because some patients with sickle cell disease need many
units of blood every month! But if the blood is not a very close match, the
patient may reject the blood and source of help and hope will be gone. This
condition, called alloimmunization, can be fatal.
The best matches for these
patients will come from African American donors.
African American donors
who want to help can choose to give blood for a child with sickle cell
disease by using a special blue tag available at all Red Cross blood drives
and donor centers in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
If you are African
American, please share your good health with a child who has sickle cell disease
by doing something simple, easy, and safe by giving blood.

"Speaking Truth to
Action"
Spoken Word' movement mentors at-risk males.
Brother to Brother, Boys
to Men Youth Mentoring Club ...because we are our
brother's keepers.
As
Philadelphia's homicide rate continues to climb, a local businessman,
entrepreneur and 'spoken word' poets are coming together
to 'speak truth to action'
with a mentoring program that they feel will change lives; save lives of
young African American males in the city.
WHAT: a "Mentoring"
Club, for males only between the ages of 13 and 18 and adult males, providing
nurture, guidance and role-models for at-risk youth. The club provides
awareness, self-love activities and a positive environment to build healthy
relationships.
WHEN: Wednesday evenings 5:00-7:30 PM (Ongoing [since 07-25]
weekly)
Where: Dowling's Palace 1310 N. Broad Street
Phila., PA 19121 (Next to Blue Horizon) N. Broad Street at
Thompson 215-236-9888
WHY: (Shyster): "Because
it's long overdue!" Promoters of this mentoring club say that it is NOT
a "Lecture" format, not a "scared straight" program;
instead, spoken-word artists with a burden for the community are coming
together to offer young African American males a positive environment to interact
with each other and community role-models. This is an attempt to curb
violence and a practical way to put an end to the senseless violence and
bloodshed that tarnishes Philadelphia's image. "We need 'real-men'
Mentors, who have big hearts and a little
time to spend with a young
man who needs it--badly!" said Sam Gamon. "Because, after all 'we
are our brothers' keepers".

FINDING A JOB IN PHILLY JUST GOT A LITTLE BIT
EASIER
If
you’ve ever looked at a job listing and thought, "I’d be perfect for
this job, if only...," you understand the discouragement a lot of
job
seekers in Philadelphia feel. Understanding these barriers, the employment
volunteers at WhatThePeopleREALLYThink.com have launched a free tool that
helps jobseekers look for jobs and
apply
online, http://phila.jobamatic.com.
Positions
range from Banquet Server to Call Center Manager.
When it comes to meeting the
qualifications for a job, is there any flexibility? That depends on the
employer, but in most cases, the answer is yes. Certainly, it helps to
understand how your own experience and needs match up to what the employer
wants and is willing to offer, which isn’t always an easy task, thanks to the
obscure language typical of many job listings. http://phila.jobamatic.com

PENN STATE'S
COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES ANNOUNCES SUMMER YOUTH CAMPS FOR 2008
CONSERVATION
LEADERSHIP SCHOOLS:
JUNE 22-28; and
JULY 6-12
If your ideal school is one where the
classrooms include over 7,000 acres of forest, fields, wetlands, and streams,
and where learning about our environment goes hand-in-hand with having fun
and meeting new friends, then the Penn State Conservation Leadership School
(CLS) is for you. It’s not a recreational summer camp, although lots of fun
is definitely on the agenda. It’s a RE-Creation experience, leading you to
learn, to live, and to think critically about sustaining our environment.
In the unique setting at The
Pennsylvania State University's Stone Valley Recreation Area near State
College, Pa., students between the ages of 15 and 18 learn about the
environment and conservation during a one-week program that emphasizes
field-based, hands-on learning, group problem solving, and leadership.
This year’s program will include a
special session on leadership developed by the PA Rural Leadership Program
(RULE) and an interactive ropes course challenge that will foster cooperation
and teamwork. The 2008 curriculum will focus on important natural
resource issues including:
- Analyzing your hometown drinking water
Participants will bring a water sample from home and learn how to
test for various pollutants that may occur in Pennsylvania water
supplies.
- Deer population management and habitat
conservation
Representatives from the Quality Deer Management Association (QDMA)
will discuss strategies on how to achieve biologically and socially
balanced deer herds within existing environmental, social, and legal
constraints.
- Recycling: Beyond the Bin
Students will get a behind- the-scenes look at the recycling process
and learn how and why this essential “R” (reduce, reuse, and recycle)
plays a key role in our waste management practices.
- What is wood?
Participants may walk away from CLS with a new appreciation for one
of the earth’s most versatile and sustainable resources.
- “Green” Buildings
Students will tour some of Penn State’s newest and award-winning
“green” buildings, which bring together new technologies, sustainable
materials, and creative designs.
Conservation Leadership School is
being offered twice this summer, June 22-28 and July 6-12. The same
program is offered for each week. During their stay at Stone Valley,
the students will work in teams with the faculty and staff from the School of
Forest Resources, and representatives of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat
Commission, the Pennsylvania Game Commission, the Department of Environmental
Protection, the Pennsylvania Rural Leadership Program, and the Department of
Conservation and Natural Resources.
Scholarships are available from
participating Conservation Districts in Pennsylvania and area sportsmen clubs
for students representing their district at CLS. For a listing of
participating organizations and to register online, please visit: http://conferences.cas.psu.edu
and click on Conservation Leadership School. For more information
please contact the Office of Conferences and Short Courses at (814) 865-8301
or email at shortcourse@psu.edu
to receive registration materials. Registration is limited so please apply
early.

SpotLight ON OUR EFFORTS
Village of the Arts and
Humanities
The Village of Arts and
Humanities, located at 2544 Germantown Avenue
Philadelphia, PA 19133, seeks to build community through its
innovative education, social, construction and arts programs. In all of its
projects and activities, the Village seeks to do justice to the humanity of
people who live in inner-city North Philadelphia and in similar urban
situations.
The need for a new urban
landscape in 1986, spawned The Village Arts and Humanities (the Village) of
North Philadelphia. Emerging as an outgrowth from a place Arthur Hall named
Ile Ife Black Humanitarian Center—Ile Ife is drawn from Yoruba (Nigeria)
cosmology and means the birthplace of humanity and also the “House of
Love”--the Village was incarnated from a small neighborhood park project
headed by Lily Yeh, the Village founder and two African American men in
recovery from substance abuse. Since its inception, the Village has
transformed a 260 square block area of North Philadelphia, one block at a
time through a neighborhood revitalization program that has evolved into a
major provider of arts-inspired programs including education, land
transformation, construction, and economic development.
Fast forward 20 years, and
you can’t miss the impact of the Village within the community, starting with
the larger than life murals, and colorful tile mosaics that punctuate housing
projects, parks, even sidewalks as a visual testament to the work being done
to improve the lives of North Philadelphia residents.
Today, we are a
multi-faceted, professionally staffed, arts organization, governed by a
community-based board of directors. We have won numerous local and
international awards and citations for innovation and achievement, and earned
high marks within the community for serving thousands of low-income,
primarily underserved African American dwellers. However, North Philadelphia
could well be anywhere around the globe where people suffer due to cultural
differences or economic inequities; and that is why our program resonates so
strongly worldwide.
We foster a new
multiculturalism that embraces the gifts and the challenges expressed by all
cultures and people. Our programs seek to tap into the common threads of all
communities that have been labeled at risk, underprivileged, impoverished,
undereducated, and stressed to create anomalies in the same undeniable way
that the blues, gospel, jazz and even hip hop have done, with cross cultural
success. We know that the Arts transcend race, culture, religion, education,
socioeconomic background, gender, sexual orientation, age, or ableism.
Our work is described as
provocative, muscular and risky. We are not limited by convention but instead
boldly redefine art to incorporate environmental justice, greening and
beautification, as well as community organizing.
Solid is the
foundation from which we were originated. Lily Yeh endeavored under difficult
situations and limited resources to make work that has forever shifted
perceptions in the lives of oppressed people living in urban settings. We
value our staff, board of directors and volunteers and recognize their
ability to affect change.
If
you are interested in learning more about the Village’s arts and
environmental programs, special events, performances, volunteer
opportunities, and other ways to help, please contact our Volunteer/Outreach
coordinator at 215.225.7830 or volunteers@villagearts.org

REBUILDING THE LIBRARY IN
TIMBUKTU PROJECT
Book Drive for the
University of Bamako (Mali)
Nine hundred years ago,
Timbuktu was celebrated as a major center of passage for all desert
voyagers. It was the center of trade
where merchants from Tuareg and Fulani tribes, for example, would trade gold
and other desired items from the Nile to the Niger areas. Timbuktu not only
celebrated a long history of commerce, it was also the citadel for
scholarship for various empires spanning from the Mali Empire (1300 b.c.) to
the Songhai Empire (1400s b.c).
In honor of this great
history, the African Studies Graduate Students Association (ASGSA) at Howard
University in collaboration with the African New Era Organization (ANEO) is
launching this project called Rebuilding the Library in Timbuktu to provide
books for students at the University of Bamako in the Republic of Mali.
Throughout the month of
April 2008, ASGSA will be collecting books via three methods:
1) Online at www.amazon.com (search
“African Studies Graduate Student Association”)
2) At the African Studies Department on
the main campus of Howard University
(2225
Georgia Ave, NW, 4th Floor)
3) At Sankofa Bookstore (2714 Georgia
Avenue, NW)
At the end of the book
drive, ASGSA will host a celebratory open mic reading at Sankofa Bookstore on
Friday May 2, 2008 from 7PM – 9:30PM.
This open mic event will encourage students and community members to
read exerpts by African writers as well as share self-written pieces that
honor Africa and/or an African writer.
There is no required cover charge but attendees are encouraged to
bring at least one book from the wish list.

IT’S HERE!!
Our new group A HAND UP! Is now open, please go to:
http://groups.google.com/group/a-hand-up
Community College of
Philadelphia's Act Now/Act 101 Program
The Act
Now/Act 101 Program is seeking your assistance in the development of the
following new opportunities for their Leadership Learning Community students.
Mentoring Program: It is important for students to meet professionals,
outside of the Act Now/Act 101 Program, who have completed college and who
would be available to offer guidance and support as they pursue their
academic and career goals. An in-person introductory meeting will be
scheduled by the Act Now Program in February. Mentors would then be then
expected to communicate via email, telephone or in person with their Act Now
student once during the month of March and once during the month of April.
Informational Interviews: While some of our students have chosen majors to
pursue others are still undecided. It is helpful for them to meet
professionals in the fields they are considering. The time commitment for
Informational Interviews is minimal. The Act Now/Act 101 Program will keep a
list of individuals representing a variety of professions. Interested
students will contact the representatives to schedule an interview.
Interviews may be conducted by telephone or in person and should take no
longer than an hour.
For application or more information, please email Erika Hernandez ehernandez@ccp.edu
