SAVING THE WORLD -- ONE DOG AT A TIME (ANYWHERE)

2008-07-15T11:07:52-07:00
Now that I have your attention -- we're a small breed-specific dog rescue organization run by volunteers nationwide. If you are searching for that special companion, fostering is a great way to find a perfect match. Afraid of commitment? maybe you like to travel -- but you love dogs? consider temporary fostering! It is so rewarding!! your help is needed so much right now! Foreclosures are on the rise and shelters are filling up faster than we can place these babies.

If you have an interest, please send an email. We have transport volunteers (and of course always need more) who will pick up and bring the dog to you! If you can't foster, but would like to help transport, as a shelter contact or with any volunteer activities, please also drop us an email.

Please check out our website: nbran.org and look at the beautiful brittanies and brittany mixes. Join a group of great folks who love the breed and just want to help!

Come save the world with us!

Wanted: Acoustic Guitars for good cause (Fresno)

2008-06-26T12:40:33-07:00
Hi. I need acoustic guitars. Nothing fancy. Don't need new, but at least in good condition. I am a guitar player who will be teaching a group of teens how to play. They are part of a pilot program designed to provide a creative outlet for at risk youth (similar to "music therapy").

If you have a guitar laying around, and care to donate, please email me. Or, name your price and I might be able to swing a few bucks for it.

Thanks.

For many, academic struggle is caused by lack of vocabulary. Your help needed to (Fresno)

2008-06-24T18:56:57-07:00

Our nonprofit was started by parents looking for a new and smarter way to commit words to long-term memory. The program provides unlimited, personalized tutoring.
We are sustained only through memberships and match them with scholarships for disadvantaged students. For the 2008-09 school year, for example, all 3rd grade classrooms in the Bay Area will receive free licenses.
Details are posted in ouronline newsroom ("them" - "newsroom"), please come have a look around, and maybe sign up for a free trial to see what we are all about.

The main flaw of traditional programs, we found, was that they tried to prescribe which words the student had to learn, instead of customizing instruction so that it would focus on words that are important in the student's life. Our program is based on a database of 100,000 words, and continually growing, so that learners can find exactly the words they need to study at any particular time.

We are always looking for writers and editors who like to "play with words" and who would like to be a part of this innovative project.
We are also in the process of translating our online slideshow (see homepage), so that English language learners will have an easier time understanding how this program works.
Translators and voice over artists can receive credit on the loading screens.
We still need translations (expect 5-10 hours of work) for Chinese, Hindi, Portuguese, Farsi/Persian, Arabic, Greek, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Indonesian, Korean, Japanese, Russian, Norwegian, etc.
We also need voice over artists for all of these languages, plus Spanish and French (translations are ready).

Literacy facts at-a-glance

Approximately 53 percent of undergraduates enroll in remedial courses in postsecondary education. Nearly one-half of the undergraduates enrolled in remedial courses in the 1999-2000 school year took a remedial writing course, and 35 percent took remedial reading.
