Change your view! Make a difference!

One more absolutely adorable program that takes care of our beautiful environment! The National Educational Environmental Foundation is a great company that involves people in volunteering and community service, and also has a lot of useful programs for children to develop connection between them and nature. I found it fascinating. Nowadays it is very important for the kids to be outside, and start doing volunteer work since the early childhood. As for me, I have never done volunteering before I became an exchange student, and now, while helping people at the historical museum and also in the public library, I understand how significant the volunteer work is. It changes human's character and improves all goo qualities that a personality may ever have. Let's get involved in volunteering and encourage kids to help the Mother Nature!

Here is a link for the company that you will be interested!!!

You Want Proves? Get Them!

I know, a lot of people always want proves. No matter what's the statement is - it should be checked, corrected and proved and only then being ready for trust. My SocialMedia4SocialChange campaign is creating special natural parks for children, which gives them the opportunity to play and develop safely there or volunteering in such parks that already exist. The goal is simple - make connections between children and nature, connection that was so natural few decades ago, but nowadays is mostly lost among the great variety and constant development of computers, social media and honestly laziness :)

That's why this wonderful idea came up to my mind! However, as was mentioned above, people always need proves. It's absolutely understood. Who would trust the poor sixteen year-old exchange student? Who would donate or help somehow? Very few people, truly, if any. That is why I found a couple of interesting and fascinating books about children and nature. After reading them, most likely, people would be able to understand that this is a real problem. And, maybe, someone will be interested in this idea and would help children and me. Thank you all very much!

Nature Network :)

You couldn't believe it, but tonight, while I was searching some information for my SosialMedia4SocialChange Campaign I found an absolutely fascinating and fantastic network, which completely reflects my idea of building natural parks for children and creating a world where every child can play, learn and grow in nature. It's simply called "Children & Nature Network."

On this site you can observe that people already created 117 regional campaigns, 174 natural clubs for families and they've got more than 900 coming events connecting with developing "loving nature features" in the children...!!! At once, you can sign up for this, donate something for the kids or connect, which is join the community :)

Moreover, there is a very interesting site page, with the name "NatureStory." There you can find real stories about animals, plants, and wild places told by parents or even CHILDREN themselves. This section of the site was created to help us enrich our nature discovery with old and new stories...ENJOY AND FOLLOW THE LINKS BELOW :)

Important Trifle

         

You may be on the carnival in Brazil...you may be studying in the United Kingdom...farming in India...fighting in Serbia...or just living in the United States without paying attention on the trifles that are happening in other countries across the ocean...

Of course, a new Ukrainian amusement park may sound as a "trifle" for the First-World countries, but not for Ukrainians. What am I talking about? A NEW GORGEOUS NATURAL AND AMUSEMENT PARK HAS BEEN OPENED IN UKRAINE!!! It's name is "The Gorky Park" and it was named after an outstanding poet and writer Maxim Gorky.

Now you shouldn't worry about your dearest children - they will have over 130 acres of closed land to play safely and develop together with other toddlers. I personally have been in this park with my little brothers and as soon as we passed the park borders they felt happiness without alloy! Kids can amuse themselves to their heart's content while their parents can have a wonderful Ukrainian dinner at one of the cafes&restaurants. The park is surrounded with beautiful evergreen trees and flowers.

This is the example of our goal - parks in our home communities. You may read this blog and then push the "next blog" button...but what I really ask for is just a thought. Think about the Children... Think about "the flowers of life"... Think about our future... Think.

Thank you all very much.
