PIP

Recently, I signed up for 2 PIP (positive impact projects). Tilth and House of Hope were their names. Tilth is a gardening thing. You get to weed and then fence sections of garden! It was really fun. The garden was a learning garden. REALLY FUN. And after, there was the farmers market, which was SO cool. We bought 1? 2? books.
     House of Hope is a place for women and kids who's dads or husbands abused them, so they ran away. It is a SECRET organization- so the men don't pursue. I don't think that happens often, though. So, we were giving a list of things to do. Here is what I did:

1. Rerouting a spring, as it was running into the meadow. HARD WORK! And it was raining. I don't think we made much progress, either. We pretty much were digging holes to reroute it. Not permanent, not working.
2. Carrying toilet paper to the main building. In rain. Simple
3. This task wasn't actually on the list. It was something that came up. There's a little girl at House of Hope. She was crying. I was told to be a mother's helper and read to the kid! I read to the kid, and she quited down for a little while........ then she started crying again. The person taking care of her at the moment (not her mother, the mother was working) turned on the TV. We walked out

And that's it! (it's in the order I did the things)

Seattle Tilth was on May 14

House of Hope was on May 15

Help the Seattle Humane Society Win $100,000 in the ASPCA $100k challenge!

Help the Seattle Humane Society Win $100,000 in the ASPCA $100k Challenge!   Support your favorite local shelter and help the Seattle Humane Society win $100,000 through the ASPCA $100k Challenge! The first leg of the contest ends April 15 and you can vote every day. On April 15, the animal shelters with the most votes will move on to the second part of the challenge and closer to the $100k grand prize.  VOTE NOW for the Seattle Humane Society at:  challenge.aspcapro.org/vote-your-shelter   What would we do with $100,000? The Seattle Humane Society vet clinic provides medical care to thousands of animals every year. Our shelter and public spay/neuter surgeries are routinely limited due to recovery cage space - particularly for the larger dogs. Our veterinary staff does an incredible job with the space they have. With $100,000 we could improve our clinic, make more pets adoptable, and perform more low-fee spay/neuter surgeries for pets in our community.  Every vote can make a big difference – so vote today and every day through April 15. Tell your friends and family to vote too! Share it via email, Facebook, Twitter, or your personal blog and website and help the Seattle Humane Society do more for the animals than ever before.  What’s next? If we are a finalist, we move onto the next round where our goal is to save 300 more animals from August to October of 2011, than we saved during the same period in 2010. It’s all about saving more lives- and with the community's help, we can do it!  Pictures included in this: In order. They were installed on the side. Basically, vote and help the Humane Society! I am a big supporter of donations and helping societies and stuff like that.
