This is a partnership Charity Volunteer group with the Klevis Kola Foundation which has been set up a group of Medical students from St Georges Hospital in Tooting London SW17 (which was STAR (Student Action for Refugees & Asylum Seekers) - STAR has been going for over 7 yrs - and Body action Campaign (our Charity) has been working alongside them for the past 6 years providing film, animation, editing, & puppetry workshops - Chris Hands (Chair of the board of Trustees for Klevis Kola - told me about tonight (25th Feb 09) - If any gap year students - or passionate volunteers-want to take part in - by working with the children in Morocco - get in touch (Speaking French or Arabic is really helpful) - you can sign up on the site & talk to other volunteers who have been working there and get the low down!
The make lounge is a concept that can be copied for the skills you impart. You could create collectives that creates stuff - then learns to teach stuff (to the community for small fee) - collaboratively make it, and then sell it either as part of a charity auction or as part of your "portable charity shop" ;-)
For Bunny Ideas:
>Develop a puppet kit...
all the bits they need, instructions, ideas on paper element and an invitation to:
>> send you their puppet creation photos (to go into a book!!!)
>>send you their puppet movie to be put on your youtube channel (most viewed would be put onto DVD and sold - Vanity factor!!!
>>donate their first puppet to go into a puppet catwalk or puppet "celebrity" - voted by people (in a celebration event?)
>Develop animation kit...
perhaps animation kit that learners can use on the day then buy to take home and practice. They then could be invited to:
>>Share/send their story for the corresponding book
>>Share/send their animatin for inclusion in the youtube channel
For Xtine & ELiz, what could you think about for your activities?
>Story sack kit & instructions?
>character cakes? (dalek, etc.?)
>what else?
We have dealt with 9 Buzzard in the past 5 years and all of them have had fractures and internal injuries which had caused them to need putting to sleep. We have even transported them to other rescue centre elsewhere in the country for specialist veterinary advice and support, but they have all had to be put to sleep. This has been quite disheartening
