Charity Job Listings on Myspace---link included

I came across this today and thought I would share it.

I typed in charity in Google just to see what would come up....

because it does vary from time to time....

and I saw a link to charity jobs on MySpace.

I forget sometimes that you can do job searches on MySpace.

If you are looking to work for a

non-profit organization

or to volunteer for one

why not check the site out?

It is just one of many out there

and it might give you some ideas

of exactly what is available

or the type of help you may be able to give.

Please Help Comfy Cozy in Pre-K through DonorsChoose.org link included

I received this e-mail from a friend and wanted to pass it along.

I was going to rewrite

but I could not possibly do it justice;

so, this is exactly how I received it.

Please if you can donate please do so

and

if you are unable to donate

please send this link to everyone you know.

Maybe somebody else will be able to help.

Thanks

Dear friends,
I want my students to have as many great learning opportunities as possible, but
sometimes I just can't get the funding I need.

To address this issue, I turned
to DonorsChoose.org.
Here's the scoop.

At this nonprofit website,

public school teachers (like me!)
submit proposals for materials or experiences their students need to learn.
These ideas become a reality when concerned individuals (like you!)

choose projects to fund.

Donors who complete project funding

or give more than $100
receive photos and personal thank-you notes

from the kids they helped.

It's easy - and very rewarding.
The great news is that my project proposal,

Comfy Cozy in Pre-K,

is now posted
at DonorsChoose.org!

Check it out at:
http://www.donorschoose.org/donors/proposal.html?id=184293&utm_source=teachers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=TeacherMarketing
Take a look.

Also, please consider supporting my students

and me by forwarding
this message to others who may be interested in improving education.
As a reminder,

I am at a year round school

and have students now

who would love
to use this item!

Thanks for your help!

Best regards,

Cari Wilcox

I usually blog on any of my blogs about events where I live or national events,

but I was searching for something new today and came across

Bookends.

This is an organization out of Southern California.

I was poking around their website

and from the looks of it they have done some amazing things.

This organization (per website) is all about Kids Helping Kids.

They recycle childrens' books to school libraries and other children's organization.

The complete history, how they work, to donate,

and so much more is on their website.

Their website is bright and cheery with fun looking tabs to click on.

They also have pictures of some the places that have received books from them.

If you happen to live in Southern California

and would like to help them

either by donating

or volunteering

click on the link below.
