In honour of Earth Week:

The Post Carbon Institute (PCI)
condenses the story of our dependence on the remnants of ancient sunlight to five minutes in "300 Years of Fossil Fuels in
300 Seconds."
"Now that we're reaching the end of cheap and
abundant oil and coal supplies," says PCI, "we're in for an exciting ride. While there's a real risk that we'll fall off a
cliff, there's still time to control our transition to a post-carbon future." "300 Years" is a lively and engaging recapitulation
of how we got to where this roller coaster ride has taken us, and why remaining on it is no longer an option.
The video, written and narrated by Post Carbon
Fellow Richard Heinberg and designed by San Francisco's Monstro Design, won Best Video in the Small Nonprofit category in
the recent YouTube/See3 DoGooder Nonprofit Video Awards. PCI received one of four top prizes in that competition, in which
thousands of organizations participated.
Shout out: to everyone who helped at the Evening for Ecuador...big success!!

In February, we had two fantastic volunteers from Canada
here working at PAMI, our partner school for Child Workers, Mayan Indian Children and other extremely poor children. PAMI
provides a good education to the neediest kids in Panajachel.
Volunteers Joce and Devon at PAMI
Devon and Joce were an instant
hit with our 160 students at PAMI. They taught English and helped our kids in many other ways. Their enthusiasm was contagious
and their love for the children was really felt and reciprocated, as evidenced by all the hugs and tears exchanged on their
last day at PAMI. We can hardly thank enough these two super girls for the wonderful impact they had on our kids and teachers.
They left us all with wonderful memories to cherish for years to come. We also wish to thank the Reynolds
Secondary School in Victoria, B.C. for recommending
Devon and Joce and for all the support Reynolds students have given our children and programs here in Guatemala. If you would like to volunteer for a few weeks or several months, please
contact us at: robertotolf@yahoo.com.

Guest Speakers Re: Change Conference
Madeleine and Taylor
The
10th Annual Change Conference will take place on April 8th and 9th at GNS; it was founded in 2001 by Amelia Warren, a grade
10 student at the time. She was inspired to create change in her community after returning from a life changing trip to India.
The Change Conference is an event that aims to empowering youth to make constructive change in their communities and further
afield. All students
are
invited to come, registration is now open at www.changeconference2011.com The recommended age range is from Grades 8-12. Tickets will be $35 for conference delegates, and $25
for
just The Buried Life keynote.
The
Conference will include The Buried Life as the main keynote speakers. The Buried
Life is an MTV show featuring a group of four Victoria BC friends (including Duncan Penn GNS Grad'01 and Jonnie Penn GNS Grad'04)
who attempt to complete their bucket list of 100 things to do before they die. For every thing off their own bucket list they
cross off, they help a stranger accomplish one of their own dreams. For more information please visit http://www.theburiedlife.com.
The
conference will also offer a variety of engaging workshops such as VIDEA, the Child and Nature Alliance as well as Jody Paterson
and various service projects including tree planting. A grade eight student Ella Van Cleave will also speak about her work
as a Joey Ambassador, campaigning for the end to the Japan whale hunts. It will run on Friday evening (April 8th) and all
day Saturday (April 9th). Any questions can be directed to changeconference2011@hotmail.com

Hey Chris,
I just spoke with my colleagues over here at PPP about
your question. We don't have anything on the go in Jakarta (the only part of
Indonesia we really work in is West Papua), but we have had projects in Fiji over the years (though I'm not sure if there's
been anything on Taveuni specifically). The main project we have happening right
now to do with Fiji is our bid to be included in CIDA's International Aboriginal Youth Internships Program (brochure attached),
which provides training and funding for Aboriginal youth in Canada to do an internship in international development work. We hope through this project to send two interns to Fiji, though we haven't confirmed
placement partners for this yet.
I wanted to ask as well if you've heard any interest
on your end from the kids in your leadership group? I haven't heard from any of them yet, which is a bit dissapointing considering
their initial enthusiasm at the idea. If you have any thoughts about how I could
follow up with them that would be great. Also, with my practicum timeframe closing
into the two month mark, I am looking at ways to bring my intentions with this project to youth instead of having them come
to me (particularly my empathy workshop). If you can suggest a way for me to
conduct workshops within Reynolds, or to maybe do a focus group instead (short-term intensive version of the Youth Council),
I would appreciate that.
Thanks very much, and talk to you soon,
Jeremy

Monday Feb. 28th
Guest Speaker Jeremy Bally
Pacific People's Partnership - www.pacificpeoplespartnership.org - is currently recruiting local youth to be involved in an advisory council. We work on issues of human rights, environmental
sustainability, social justice, and cultural survival for Indigenous people in Canada and in the Pacific Islands (Melanesia,
Polynesia and Micronesia). We will offer members of the Youth Council education on human rights, environmentalism, activism
and networking. In return, we will be asking for feedback on the question: "How can youth contribute to Pacific People's
Partnership now and in the future?" Both the education and feedback will be entirely open to change based on what participants
want and feel will work best for them. It is an opportunity to be integrated in and genuinely contribute to a well-established
local charity and non-profit organization. Also important to the Youth Council is helping members to achieve Ubuntu,
a South African word meaning that when others are tortured or oppressed, we are all diminished, and we have a role as members
of a global community to bring ourselves towards peace and sustainability. We will explore why we do and why we do not
feel passionate about issues, and through doing so we will try and discover together the best way to inspire both ourselves
and others to feel genuinely connected on a local and global level to people, the world, and the problems that we can only
solve together. And best of all - free pizza at the first meeting!

begin with one Wednesday (hopefully March 9) and from there, assess the success and necessity of a second workshop.
Who: Boys and Girls Club from Esquimalt, and Reynolds Secondary Leadership class
students.
Where: Reynolds Secondary School.
What: A program to help spark a passion and interest in reading in order to help
increase literacy rates within Macaulay Elementary School. During each workshop, the Reynolds students will choose a variety
of different children’s literature (poetry, picture books, short stories) to read to a group of K-5 students. Following
reading the book, the Reynolds students will lead activities and crafts based around thematic elements in the book. The day
will end with each Reynolds student taking on 3 or 4 “buddies” for a smaller group read of a children’s
story. The Reynolds students will participate in a few “How to teach reading” workshops with Ms. Sholinder, in
order to help the K-5 students learn methods they can use on their own time when trying to read.
Why: Literacy rates in Canada can always be improved, and with a motivated and
driven group of Reynolds High School students, they can act as both role model and tutor to a group of at risk youth.

INNOVATION...
Who’s Line Is It Anyway?
“Normal” behaviour is encouraged at work [and
often at school], as this is the easiest, most efficient way to get things done. As a result, our creative self often is hidden
away, getting flabby from under-use. Then along comes a manager [or teacher] demanding we do some brainstorming to come up
with an innovative solution. Ouch! Like un-used muscles, creativity improves with exercise, so here’s a brainstorming
exercise to warm-up those under-used creative muscles.
Just like the TV show, the principle of this brainstorming exercise
is simple – improvisation. [In a group of 3-4 choose a prop from the middle of the room and when the timer begins
you will have 10 minutes to come up with as many creative uses of the item as you possibly can.] e.g.
a belt could become a Japanese warrior’s head-band or a toy dog is hidden from the group and is “dog-gone”.
You get the drift!

their own reality. It's too easy to forget to take stock in what the team has achieved or to take the time to feel good about
those important accomplishments.
We don't always remember how important it is to occasionally stop what we're doing for a moment and just "be grateful"
for all that we have, all those that we love, and for all that the future holds.
As most of us come to school each day, we sit down and plan our day. We then set out to complete and check off our
to-do lists. However, how often do we sit down and purposefully plan our work, let alone our life?
Leaders can remind their team members to ask the following three questions to ensure they fully leverage their time and
resources.
- What is (are) the outcome(s) that I must achieve in order for this day/month/year to be successful and fulfilling?
- Why is this goal important to me?
- What specific steps must I take in order to achieve this outcome(s)?
Now ask your team members to apply the preceding questions to each of the following LIFE categories:
- Family
- Friends
- Financial
- Physical
- Spiritual
- Emotional
- School
By going through the above exercise, you will no doubt realize how well you are currently "owning your own outcomes". Be
fair to yourself, and ensure you lead a healthy and well-balanced life.
Moral to the story:
1) Take time to recognize accomplishments and use the momentum of those to carry you forward.
2) Take the time to plan your life, not just your day, and gain momentum by appreciating a bigger picture.

Vision statements, Mission statements and values
Vision: Defines the desired or intended future state of an organization or enterprise in terms of its fundamental
objective and/or strategic direction. Vision is a long term view, sometimes describing how the organization would like the
world in which it operates to be. For example a charity working with the poor might have a vision statement which read "A
world without poverty"
Mission: Defines the fundamental purpose of an organization or an enterprise, succinctly describing why it exists
and what it does to achieve its Vision.
It is sometimes used to set out a 'picture' of the organization in the future. A mission statement provides details of
what is done and answers the question: "What do we do?" For example, the charity might provide "job training for the homeless
and unemployed"
Values: Beliefs that are shared among the stakeholders of an organization. Values drive an organization's culture and priorities and provide a framework in which decisions are
made. For example, "Knowledge and skills are the keys to success" or "give a man bread and feed him for a day, but teach him
to farm and feed him for life". These example values may set the priorities of self sufficiency over shelter.
Strategy: Strategy narrowly defined, means "the art of the general" (from Greek stratigos). A combination of the
ends (goals) for which the firm is striving and the means (policies) by which it is seeking to get there.
Challenge: In the Spirit Fingers, Get REAL and Open 4 Change Groups, make sure you have your misson statement and logo...AND
create a group VISION powerpoint or video that can be put on youtube to upload to our site to share.... you could start this
in your group meetings and use Monday drop in time to work on it... let's have it done for beginning of Semester 2.
