Today I made a difference by lending my friend some change to buy breakfast with because she didn't have enough time to eat at home.
The Global Poetry Project aims to provide a space for members to expand upon their cultural views through the writing and reading of poetry.
As I walked into the over crowded cafeteria I noticed that one of my good friends was sitting by herself. I knew that someone was sitting with her, but they were waiting in line for lunch. So instead of getting in the back of a long line right awa...
Today I made a difference by helping my dad with the new garage door opener he had to install. Together we turned a 4 hour job into a 2 hour job. I felt great after helping.

What Would the World Be Like Without Rules?
My Social Studies teacher let us make a project using any form of media we wanted to answer this question:
What would the world be like without rules?
I also wonder how service work or service learning might change without rules?
I took a lot of pictures and talked with a lot of people to come up with my answer. Then I made a video. Could you please tell me how you would answer this question? Also, how could I make… Continue

Y.E.S (Youth Engaged in Service)
Last month I joined Y.E.S, or Youth Engaged in Service. Y.E.S is a group of 12-18 year olds working to make a difference in my community. Y.E.S allows me to help at places like my local zoo, the ASPCA, and Barnes & Nobile (the bookstore).
Y.E.S is great because I get to meet all of the people that like doing service work, like me! It's also great because Y.E.S lets me do hands-on work inste… Continue

Fables are so poignant. Nicely done Laura!
What I love about our set up is that it allows for direct questions to the poet. Please walk me through the creation of this poem.
Encouraging them to share their reflections here is a powerful way to expand your sphere of influence and theirs as well. I can't wait to learn more about what they are thinking and how they are growing. This is the sort of writing that provokes c...
As I have been grading their response works, I am amazed at the connections they are making to their own lives as well as to the world around them .... many of the students have made connections to historical figures who began a chain reactions "j...
"When we read poetry we gain insight. When those poems come from all over, we broaden our view of what frightens us, what makes us happy, what makes us sad, what we love, and what we can do to make a difference."
EXACTLY. This is what inspired me...
These simple things make everyone's day a bit brighter and the load that they carry a bit lighter. It also means the world to us when someone shows that they care enough to help. This is inspiring, Erik. I hope you will continue sharing here!
I wonder how YOU felt while you were doing these things, Daniel. I'll bet that doing small things that help others brings you a lot of happiness too. In so many ways, giving to others is a way of making our own lives better too. You should be very...
Hi Carlene--Happy to help however you need. Jenny is an incredible resource for you, and I know that folks in our area would be inspired to see what happens within this space. Thanks for drawing attention to the fantastic efforts of those who are ...
Hi Carlene, I'm very happy for you to chat with me about the GPP. You can contact me via Skype : jenny.luca1 is my Skype name.
Hello everyone!
I've been a correspondent for the Buffalo News NeXt, a section written by Western New York teens, for four years. I'm currently working on a story about the Global Poetry Project that will hopefully run in the Dec. 24th edition. I'...
Hi Jenny! I will see what I can do to link some of them to you! ;o)
It sounds like you've done an amazing job motivating your class. I'd love to see their Glogs -is there any way some of them could be linked here?
Also- many, many pennies have been coming in! The students are excited to raise money for the CAI ;o)
There is an article in today's NeXt section of the Buffalo News about Greg Morentenson... check it out. The glogs our students are creating are so AMAZING!
