Miah Burmas Narrative Report

Our military men and women are exposed to traumatic events that most will never experience, however, the treatments they receive are no different than most civilians. I would like to create a program that collects donations to benefit those with PTSD. These charitable giving’s would go directly to a local hospital, such as the Eastern Virginia Medical School (EVMS) for research.

Funds for the Scioto County Meals on Wheels programs would come from federal, state, and local grants designated for nutrition for senior citizens, as well as donations from private donors. Fundraisers will also be held to help with the costs of this program. Although, this would be a program based on volunteerism, the main cost for the program would include the food cost of meal preparation and fuel for the vehicles of the volunteer delivery personnel.

Throughout my life, I’ve always had an immense interest in helping others. Being involved in the National Charity League for 5 years has given me the opportunity to be involved with charities that I otherwise would’ve never known about. I’ve had the privilege to help with over b charities in and around my community throughout my years as an NCL member. By far my favorite would have to be Grace’s Feed Our Kids that I have volunteered at every summer since my start in NCL. Through this charity, we are able to provide lunches and fun games to underprivileged kids in Grapevine during the unbearably hot Texas summer days. Each day we serve different meals, either donated from local restaurants or homemade by my NCL class, and have a variety of things for the kids to do, like coloring, water guns,

THESIS - When evaluating Arnold “Junior” Spirit from Sherman Alexie’s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian and Jin Wang from Gene Luen Yang’s American Born Chinese, similarities radiate in both characters as their disparity in race deem the two of them as outcasts in the entirety of society. In addition to their lack of social interactions, their uniformity in their impulsive decisions cost them each a dear friend. Although Junior and Jin are quite similar, they share differences in the way Junior tries bettering himself by fitting into both his Indian and Reardan culture whereas Jin changes himself in every possible way to become Americanized.

We are all factory workers in some sense – each and every one of us. As individuals, we each have our unique ambitions, quirks, and moral compasses; however, we coexist together in institutions to create the same products of prejudice, despite our characteristic differences. In one instance, Wall Street and Ivy League universities in Karen Ho’s “The Biographies of Hegemony” employ countless undergraduates of various backgrounds to sustain an unhealthy environment of elitism. Similar ethical malpractice also extends to the voracious pharmaceutical companies in Ethan Watters’ “The Mega-Marketing of Depression in Japan” with various types of researchers and marketing scholars under their umbrella. The hegemony perpetuated by these systems are not just limited to humans, as in Charles Siebert’s “An Elephant Crackup?” the elephant society is severely oppressed by government agencies who acted as a direct consequence to the behaviors of hunters and poachers. In such institutions, there can exist two distinct groups of individuals: those who enter a larger system with the malicious intent to subjugate others, and those who enter with a fervent desire to advance society. Tragically, because institutions are intrinsically materialistic and parochial in nature, both groups of individuals would regardless contribute to a product of inequality and ethical misconduct under these systems of hegemony.

The Vietnam Veterans of America is a charity in Georgia that serves all veterans and we will ask them to donate used clothes, shoes, appliances and other household items to soldiers and service men and women. We will appeal to the Coastal Habitat for Humanity to donate time and equipment to build houses for low-income residents. United Way will collaborate with CAT to give free bus passes to those struggling financially, but are trying to get to work and achieve economic independence. We will appeal to Toys R Us to donate educational games and toys to the several YMCAs we support as well as the Greenbriar Children’s Center, Hodge Memorial Day care center as well as dozens of the other school readiness and youth academic programs that United Way supports.

It is time to get the word out about the Smiling Soldier Project. We will depend on county’s involvement for the promotion of this project. We will request free advertising for our local radio stations and encourage the use of social networking sites to send the word out. Pounding the pavement looking for donations from local businesses will be crucial. We will depend on the church to assist in announcing our needs for donations, volunteers, and provided space for packaging. It is time to fetch your family, friends, classmates, teammates, neighbors, and church community to become

This is Kolu Vezele. I am interested in the summer camp program for my daughter Jelena who is 4 and my six-year-old son as well. I am thinking about princess camp session 5, superheroes session 5, learn to swim camp session 4 & 6 for both of them. Maybe the splish splash and the Jr. Creation station camp. Please let me know if there is any financial assistance available for these camps. I appreciate your time and your help, thank you.

Please consider the WEST Mesquite PTSA for one or two of the tickets to the Family Engagement Conference. We would like to send a teacher that has been involved with PTSA for several years. We feel that by her attending, she will learn and be able to benefit the PTSA at WEST Mesquite for many years to come. We are also planning to send our Student Liaison to the conference. We hope she will take this as a true Leadership Role and understand the Honor that comes with it. We are excited with the direction that our PTSA is headed and feels this conference will help keep moving forward.

My nieces was born three months early. Even then the doctors said she would not make it. My niece proved them wrong and lived thirteen years of her life healthy. On the day she turned thirteen she was diagnosed with children’s diabetes. Now at thirteen my niece did not that she should have changed her whole life style. So now years later I asked her if she regrets not changing her life sooner?

I was born and raised in Texas where everything is Texas sized and everyone says y'all. I am an Asian American whose parents both came from Vietnam at a young age. I was soon to be molded and developed by them and my community to where I became culturally diverse. I was moved along schools which helped me build character. I also have developed into a very athletic and intelligent person due to all my friends and family helping me to reach this state.

The best gift you can give anyone is hope, because without it, you don’t have a future to look forward to. The book “The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian” by Sherman Alexie is about a teenage boy go looking for hope in a new environment. He left everything he know to pursue the unknown because he is looking for hope. The biggest step Junior have to take is transferring to Reardan, because this is where he can find hope. In the process Junior lost his best friend;he gains hope, and he is making new friends.

Purpose: To inform my audience that there are kids out there that need our help and to have the audience persuade to donating.

This project will help meet the needs of veterans. Some warriors’ families fallen to meet immediate financial needs, therefore this project can aid the transition from recovery to community living. groceries

APCH is truly a well-established non-profit organization, which seems to offer just about every community resource one can think off. All their programs are aim to assist youth and their families with the education, nutrition, creative expression and community initiatives (What We Do, n. d.). The fund development plan I will suggest for this organization is an automotive trade certificate training course develop for both male and female youth ages 17 to 21. In addition this plan will attract more youth because it will be a hands on experience. Additionally, but most importantly donors like the Toyota financial services who are in the category community builder silver who have donated $25,000.00 to $49, 000.00 to APCH (Our Donors, n. d.). In
