AIDS Memorial Grove project, San Francisco

Sweet — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 16:45:19 +0000

Our Aids Memorial Grove gardening project during the San Francisco Sweeties weekend was hands down the favorite event for a lot of the Sweeties, despite the rain. If you missed out, here is your second chance, this time with Nancy Pelosi, yeah, the Nancy Pelosi in Congress. She’s celebrating her 25th anniversary in Congress with her family working on the AIDS Memorial Grove.

The community volunteer workday goes from 9am to 1:30pm, Saturday, April 21. It is important to arrive at the Aids Memorial Grove by 8:30am to get signed in and registered with Sweetie of the Year and Sweet project leader Darcie Takeuchi.

You can enjoy coffee and bagels before we get started. The program manager explains work plan promptly at 9am. At noon we stop work and gather for a circle ceremony where announcements are read, the group observes a moment of silence for those we have lost, acknowledges the sponsors of the day, and plants a memorial tree as a group. The Grove will also provide lunch to all volunteers at 12:30pm.

Gloves and tools are provided, although many volunteers bring their own gloves. Wear sturdy shoes, long sleeved shirts and jeans. Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, and a hat or cap. No open toe shoes will be permitted.

All participants under the age of 18 must have a consent form signed by a parent/guardian prior to working at the Grove.

RANFURLY HOMES FOR CHILDREN
Sunday, February 19, 2012, 10.30am – 2pm
Nassau, Bahamas
Meet at 10.30am at the end of the gangway pier
$65 per person (includes city tour, transportation, water and donation)

We’re visiting the Ranfurly Homes for Children, a safe haven for thousands of Bahamian children and teenagers since 1956. At present, they have 17 boys, ages range from 11 to 18, and 13 girls ages from 13 to 18. We plan to deliver wish-list supplies, interact with the teenagers, maybe play a bit of basketball.

We are combining this project with a two-and-a-half-hour private tour of the island. Ranfurly Home provides a safe, structured environment for kids who have been orphaned, abused, neglected or abandoned. Now, it has the capacity to accommodate more than 45 children who range in age from 5 to 20. It’s equipped with three dormitories, a study room, living room, a computer/library center and a kitchen and dining facility.

Participation is voluntary. If you would like to help, but not join us, please bring some wish-list items below. As the sizes of the children vary, the staff suggests we do not bring clothes. Start collecting supplies. No donation is too small.

WISH-LIST ITEMS
• Personal hygiene items for teen boys and girls, like gel, shampoo, conditioner, brushes, combs, bands, clips, hair dryers (same voltage as USA) and hand mirrors.

• Toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss (Ask your dentist to donate some toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss.)

• Nail polish and remover. Other manicure accessories.

• Totes and backpacks

• Educational games and books

• Sports gear and hats (Balls can be deflated for ease of transport. We’ll donate a pump to re-inflate them when we arrive.)

• DVDs and CDs (popular movies and music)

• Pens, pencils, markers, notebooks, paper and other school / art supplies.
