I know its a small effort but it's a start.<BR/><BR/>Good look on the 30k in 30days challenge.

I read about...Hi, Blake - <BR/><BR/>You are doing great work. I read about you in the Santa Barbara News-Press in August 2008. At the time I was starting to work with Kaila Pedersen, a young social entrepreneur, who is determined to provide shoes for kids in post-war Liberia. Since August Kaila has put together an inter-generational group to work on her project.<BR/>The best person to tell you about this is Kaila . . .so, I will have her write in a moment. We need you to give us the benefit of your experience and advice.<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Valerie Feit, Ed.D.<BR/>K-12 Enrichment Coordinator<BR/>Rye Neck High School<BR/>Mamaroneck, New York 10543<BR/>valeriefeit@aol.com<BR/><BR/>Hi Blake,<BR/>First, I would like to tell you that your work is amazing. As Dr. Feit said above me, I am an 11th grade student starting a large-scale community-based project to collect 30,000 pairs of sneakers to send to children in post-war Liberia. The project, which we have named Kids with Sole (inspired by you), is a chapter of Youth Action International (see their website at www.youthactioninternational.org/yai). As we get started, we have lots of questions, and we would like to be in touch with you for advice. I would love to run our plans by you and get some feedback. <BR/>My email address is kaila@optonline.net. Thank you in advance, and I'm looking foward to hearing from you.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Kaila PedersenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
