Third World Dodgeball: Success!

It rocked! At first, no one showed up, then I got two...four...five...and eventually around 12 people. They had a lot of fun and, though I didn't play, I got pretty excited myself.

Here's another rundown of the rules:

I divided them into teams by having them count off by threes. Odd numbers were on one team, even numbers on another. At this point, they're like "Why are these teams not fair?"

I explain the rules to them - the big team can only use red and orange balls, cannot cross the line, cannot get "out" members back "in" when they catch a ball... the little team can use any color ball (there were 6 colors), can cross the line to get balls, and get members back "in" if they catch a ball.

At this point, the "fairness" cry was in the other direction.

Basically, the point is that there are WAY more impoverished people in the world who don't have very many rights (big team), and there are few people in the world who have lots of rights (little team).

After the game (they played 3 or 4 times), they all gathered around and I gave them candy that had facts about hunger and poverty.

"One in ten U.S. households are living with hunger or are at risk."

"One child dies every five seconds due to hunger."

"Over 850 million people in the world go hungry."

"Six million children die each year due to hunger."

"Make poverty history. Join as ONE. http://one.org."

I called it "Food for Thought." We'll be using what's left over to give to people when they sign up for the Campus Challenge tomorrow while we're tabling in Pyle.

We took loads of video with me talking about the ONE Campaign. I'm so excited.

Wow, what a day!!

I'll give you today's dish on chronological order.

This morning at 8am, April and I were assembling a pamphlet to describe the ONE Campaign and how organizing a ONE Chapter on campus would be beneficial and would coincide with the Wilmington College Mission.

At 9am, April met with Sigrid Solomon, our Dean of Students. The meeting went very well and Sigrid said April had really done her homework =]

At 5pm, April and I went before the Wilmington College Student Government Association to describe the ONE Chapter to them, because they're the ones who would recognize us as an official group.

I passed Jenn (from SGA) in the parking lot around 6, and she said we're cleared!! We're recognized! We'll be getting a letter soon and then we'll submit it to the ONE Campus Challenge.

Speaking of which...

We're in FOURTEENTH place!!! We got another 4,000 points for electing a board! Only good will come of this!

Third World Dodgeball is tomorrow. I'm a little bit nervous. I don't think a lot of people will show up =( I'll post more tomorrow.

Peace.

-Caitlin

Another Monday!

Well, we didn't have a meeting today for the ONE Chapter. No one was around and it would have been me and April sitting around talking about stuff we can just get done on our own time. We're tabling in Pyle on Thursday to get people to sign up for the ONE Campus Challenge! Woohoo! I think I can have publicity done by the end of the week, but it may very well be next week before I can get to it - this Wednesday is dodgeball and I still have to finish making labels for my "food for thought."

New Facebook Group

I made a Facebook group for our ONE Chapter at Wilmington College! I also made a gmail account for the Chapter, and the Exec Board members will all have the password. Anything relating to the group will go to that address.

Email one.wilmington@gmail.com for more information =]

This week, we're going to try and set up a table for Thursday, Nov. 1, because it's a ONE Day! We'll sell bracelets and we might have a laptop (mine?) so people can join the ONE Campus Challenge right there! Or I might take their email addresses and invite them through the ONE CC website. I do get a bit paranoid about my stuff.

We have another meeting tomorrow, as well as our SLEB meeting. Third World Dodgeball is on Wednesday. Woohoo!! And then the planning for November begins! I think I'll set aside a few hours every week just to work on this stuff. I'm too involved! I love it!

I need to report the Facebook group on the ONE CC site so we can get a couple hundred points for that, and we'll have more points rolling in soon with more people signing up and April submitting more pictures and such.

Until next time!
-Caitlin

Make A Difference Day

I spent six hours working at Sugartree Ministries this morning! I helped sort and hang clothes in the free "store" and I helped a little to put donated food on the shelves in the food pantry. We can definitely think abut using Sugartree for ONE events.

We're 17th today, but we'll be submitting a lot of stuff in the next few days so we should shoot right back up!

I added photos to the Facebook group. There are two from Student Lobby Day and two pictures of pets with ONE bands. I'm going to add ones from Homecoming and everything, but I have to go fishing through Facebooks for them. Wheee. It should be awesome.

This is the 7th post for the week, I believe. We're good for submission!! I'm working on some ONE Chapter publicity. I'll show it to the ONE Chapter group Monday at the meeting. I love this. This is going to go so far, and I think we can make such an impact!

ONE Chapter Meeting

We had our elections today - I'm the VP of the Wilmington College ONE Chapter!! We've yet to be recognized by the college, but we've got meetings set up next week to take care of those matters. I'll just post the minutes here instead of trying to recap everything.

ONE Chapter Meeting

April went over constitution and by-laws and allowed for discussion of any questions. The ONE Chapter’s advisor will be Tara Lydy. The President of the ONE Chapter will report to the Service Leader Executive Board (SLEB) at weekly meetings. The ONE Chapter will go through SLEB but needs to be recognized as its own entity by SGA.

Mariah Fulton moved to ratify the proposed Constitution and by-laws, and Bri Rogers seconded the movement. No discussion was requested, and the vote to ratify was unanimous.

Meeting with Sigrid: April Bentley will be meeting with Sigrid Solomon (Dean of Students) Tuesday, October 30 at 9:00am. The meeting will define the ONE Campaign, describe how a ONE Chapter will be relevant to WC’s mission statement, and describe how the ONE Chapter will positively impact WC’s campus.

Meeting adjourned at 4:10pm

Sixteen!

We're up to sixteenth, and we're fourth in the standings for "most points raised this week" or whatever that count is. We've made such leaps and bounds this week. We're on fire =]

Third World Dodgeball is coming up next week, and I just got materials for a 30-hour famine. I'm planning on doing it in April. Well, I'm planning on having it take place in April. By the time April rolls around, I might not be the Hunger and Homelessness Coordinator anymore.

Today will be our second ONE Chapter meeting, even though we're not recognized on campus yet. We're hopefully electing our officers today. April wrote up the constitution but she has to meet with Sigrid before we can go to SGA.

Nineteen!

WE'RE NINETEENTH!!!!

The ONE band-ing of the state legislators got us MAJOR points, and we are totally rockin' now! We're 19th! On the FIRST page of the standings! Ohhh, we can do this. I feel rejuvenated and ready to go!

ONE Chapter @ WC

April finished the Constitution for our ONE Chapter and she'll submit it to SGA as soon as possible. I'm really excited. We're going to have a President, Vice President, Treasurer, and SGA Representative. The Vice President will also serve as Secretary and Marketing Coordinator. We're having another meeting this Friday at 3:00pm at the Center for Service and Civic Engagement, so we'll be able to discuss more about the ratification of the Constitution then.

I logged on to the ONE Campus Challenge site and my pictures from Student Lobby Day were on it!! I was excited :) I'll ONE the pets and take pictures next time I go home. April's the one who made the Flickr account, so she's doing the pictures. We both have blogs. I hope we can really take off with the ONE Campus Challenge and have a huge impact on the campus community!!

Lobbying

Well...it all started as an effort to let the Senators and Representatives know how important financial aid really is to students attending independent (private) colleges and universities in Ohio, but April and I took matters into our own hands!!

We banded two state legislators! We got Dave Daniels, the Representative for Clinton County. He now has a ONE band and a specialized (and framed!) certificate from the ONE Campaign @ WC. I also banded Ron Amstutz, the Senator for the 22nd Voting District (where I'm from).

Here are pics!
The first picture is April Bentley giving a WC-specific ONE Certificate to a freshly-banded Dave Daniels. The second picture is me giving a ONE band to Ron Amstutz.

The connection to ONE with Dave was a smooth segue from April, who talked about her own poverty issues (face it, college students are poor!) and bringing up her activism with the ONE Campaign as a way to address the eradication of poverty. With Ron Amstutz, it was a lot easier. He asked me about the bracelet. No segue necessary!

I think today was fabulous. We talked about issues! Plural! More than one issue! And for the most part, I felt like the legislators were listening. They weren't familiar with the ONE Campaign, but now they have bracelets, which will serve as a reminder of our little lobbying visit.

Until next time,
Caitlin

Busy busy

Well, it rained today so I postponed Third World Dodgeball - the new date is Wednesday, October 31, from 6-7pm. This will give me time to make that "food for thought" :)

I wrote an article for the Servant News (SLEB's Newsletter) about my November projects - The Tunnel and an Oxfam Hunger Banquet. More to follow on those!

We had our first ONE meeting today!!! We had 6 or 7 people...we're going to have two meetings a week. One on Monday to set weekly goals, and another on Friday to follow up on said weekly goals. We're holding elections on Friday, and April and I hope to have the constitution written by then. Joy!

I'm going lobbying tomorrow (for financial aid in private colleges) and we're going to ONE-band our state legislators! Hahahaha!!! The epiphany came to us during the ONE meeting.

Over the weekend, we ONE-banded the cheerleaders at the football game AND the entire Homecoming Court!

This week's challenge is to take the best ONE picture. I vote for the one of Lindsay Lyn Lydy with a bracelet!

Peace,
Caitlin

Yay!

We shot right back up to the 30s! We're currently #31 in standings after 4 calls to Congress have been logged!! There are more coming!

I talked to my Research with Descriptive Statistics class about the ONE Campaign, the ONE Campus Challenge, and the Jubilee Act, and a lot of their comments really shocked me.

They asked why we should do anything, how is it going to help US to help THEM, why aren't we doing anything about the poor in our own country?

I was a little bit disgusted, to be honest. If we have the power to help the world, why wouldn't we want to use it? Am I so naive to think that we can actually make a difference? I really think we can. I called my senator. It's a baby step in the right direction. I think that the people with the means to create change for the better have a moral obligation to do so!

I wish more people thought that way.

It doesn't have to be like this. We can make it better. I'm pleading with whatever forces exist, with whatever deity you worship, that we can make it better. I know we can do it. It won't happen overnight, but we can at least DO something instead of sitting around not doing anything that doesn't immediately benefit us.

In Spanish, we had to read an excerpt about how the United States is a Utilitarian country. I didn't believe it until today. I thought more people cared. I thought college students were at that idealist age where they wanted to change the world. I was totally floored by the lack of support they had for this campaign!

We have the power, why aren't we using it?

Phone call

Today was my first ever phone call to a senator. I called the office of Senator Brown to encourage him to co-sponsor the Jubilee Act, which cancels debt of impoverished countries so they can afford to invest in education, housing, etc. I think it's really important that this gets passed.

For every $1 that African countries are receiving in aid, they're paying $2.30 back in debt.

They'll never get out.

Unless we help.

PLEASE call 1-800-786-2663 and follow the automated directions to contact your senator or representative. Urge them all to support the Jubilee Act. It's a step toward eliminating world poverty.

When Tanzania received debt relief, the government shifted its focus to education and the elimination of school fees instead of debt payment, and almost overnight, an estimated 1.6 million children enrolled in school.

We can make this kind of IMPACT on the world!!

Call!!! Urge your senators and representatives to co-sponsor the Jubilee Act!

Make poverty history.

-Caitlin

Happy Global Day of Action!

Tomorrow I'm going to call senators and representatives to get them to co-sponsor the Jubilee Act! Call 1-800-786-2663 and follow the automated directions to contact your rep or senator and urge them ALL to support the Jubilee Act!!

Here's an excerpt from the email I received today from the ONE Campaign:

The Jubilee Act calls for debt relief for some of the world's poorest nations. Experience proves that debt relief for countries committed to investing in their people's future is one of the most effective ways to fight extreme poverty. And it's easy to see why.

Haiti spends twice as much repaying debt as it does on health care. Eliminating this debt would allow Haiti to spend more on programs that would help the extremely poor like Tanzania did in 2000. When Tanzania's debt was canceled, that government was able to eliminate school fees, sending 1.6 million children to school almost overnight.

Since we started taking action on the Jubilee Act last week, key Senators introduced a companion bill, a critical step in the process. That's just the beginning. If we make our voices heard on Capitol Hill, if we get the phones ringing off the hook, we can put momentum behind the Jubilee Act. And it all starts with you.

Sinking!!

We're down to #42!! :(

The good news is, we're planning lots of fun stuff to get our points back up!

ONE has not yet given us points for my first 5 blogs. We're supposed to receive 300 points per week for a minimum of 5 blogs per week. "ONE Blog" shows up in our points, but it says 0, which is a far cry from 300!

I don't know if I want to resubmit or not. I emailed ONE about it, but I don't know if that will even get to the right hands. It might be a no-reply email address.

More later!!

-Caitlin

Another day

It's only Tuesday! Holy wow!

The Peace Symposium is tomorrow, and the topic is the environment. Too bad that doesn't really relate to ONE. Well, sustainable development is sort of related to both the environment and poverty/hunger in the world.

October 17th is the Global Day of Action for ONE. As such, we have a project going on that will be submitted to ONE for the weekly challenge. April Bentley will be taking a group to help with Habitat for Humanity, an organization already linked with the ONE Campaign. She's going to talk about ONE and how we can make a difference.

She's also going to make a ONE banner for Homecoming, which is this Saturday. I can't believe October's almost over! There's so much more to do. November will be GREAT for my site - I'm going to plan a Hunger Banquet, a Hunger and Homelessness Awareness display, and maybe put up information about 30 hour famine. I'd like to do a 30-hour famine, but I just don't think it would get good results. I could publicize during my H&H Awareness display and then try and do one next semester. That sounds grand.

Constantly dreaming of new ideas!

Until next time,
Caitlin

Woman with a mission

April is going crazy with ONE stuff! She's started her own blog about ONE, and she's even sent an email to a non-ONE college near us, challenging them to become a ONE campus! She was the one who really lit a fire under the idea to start the group. I wanted to, but I had only been talking to professors about it; she's just doing it. She said "Hey, let's start a ONE chapter. When are you free for meetings?" and that was it. We're meeting this week to go over things, but I believe I've already written about that.

Still only three people (including myself) have signed up for Third World Dodgeball. It makes me kind of sad. I really want people to come! I think it'll be really fun and it'll be a good learning experience. I need to look up facts for the "food for thought."

Go to http://one.org and support Wilmington College (Ohio)'s ONE Campus Challenge!

-Caitlin

Exciting news!

We're going to start a campus ONE chapter!! Our first meeting will be this Friday, and we're just going to go over stuff we need to do to be recognized as an official group on campus. It's not "official" yet. Yay! More POINTS!

April is thinking of using the ONE Campaign as her senior capstone project. I think it's GREAT! I can't wait for us to really get rolling on points. We're going to try and have some ONE bracelets here by this weekend (expedited shipping, yeah!) so we can band the Homecoming court and take pictures for more points =]

We're going to see about getting ONE banners up on the Greek houses, and we're trying to orchestrate a trip to see the mayor about signing the ONE Declaration and making Wilmington a ONE town!

Nothing more to report, I don't think.

-Caitlin

Jumping back up

We're back up to #29. Woohoo!

I'm going to submit my blog today for our points! I have a total of 5 (this blog will make 6), so we can start counting! April also made a blog for ONE stuff so we'll see how that goes too! She's taking a group to the Habitat ReStore on the 17th. It'll get us more ONE points! =]

As soon as I have time, I'm going to work on making a banner for ONE that we can display in Pyle Center. I also hope to order some bracelets so we can sell them in Pyle on ONE Days (1st of the month).

Third World Dodgeball is a week from tomorrow...I honestly am a little worried about it. I made it a Facebook event and only three people have RSVP'd. Publicity should be up this week.. hopefully that helps. It'll be a fun way to give people information about the poverty of the world.

More tomorrow after the Service Meeting.

-Caitlin

More ONE

Well, we're still at #32.

My proposal for Third World Dodgeball was approved, and Tara wants me to try and get some sort of prize..like packs of crackers or candy or something cheap. We'll print labels with some sobering stats and the address to the ONE site (http://one.org) and call it "Food for Thought." Tara just wants to make sure they leave with something concrete, since college students have a tendency to zone out :)

I made a Facebook event for Third World Dodgeball, but only one other person has an "attending" RSVP. I hope it picks up! We should have publicity up very soon.

What I'm going to start doing with the blog is having SLEB members email me their posts they want and then I'll add them to the blog so that we can all contribute. Or, we might make an entirely different blog altogether for SLEB.

I need to look up some facts about world poverty, etc. to make my "Food for Thought" before Third World Dodgeball, which will be making its Wilmington College debut on Monday, October 22!

Nothing more to report for today. Hopefully I can recruit some hometown people to the cause this weekend!!

-Caitlin

The saga continues

We're slipping!! We're down to #32, but I have faith that we will jump right back up! I haven't emailed professors yet. I need to do that.

My current thing dealing with Hunger and Homelessness is the Cans Across America project. It's through Sodexho, our dining hall service, and it's a nationwide canned food drive. We're trying to beat our personal record of 881 pounds of food, and Sodexho as a whole is trying to beat the World Record. Woo!! I sent out a Facebook message today to recruit people, and I've gotten a couple responses already =)

I can't submit my report for this blog yet because I have to have my 5 weekly blogs published, and I didn't know how it worked so I reported after one blog, thinking I'd just have to report them all individually. Nope, just every five! I like it. Easier.

Not a whole lot happened today regarding ONE. April Bentley (Habitat for Humanity Coordinator on SLEB) will be taking a group of volunteers to the Habitat ReStore on Wednesday, October 17th. Afterward, she'll give a quick session about ONE and what it's all about to get more recruits for the ONE Campus Challenge!

This week's challenge is to plan an event for 10/17...that's the day of our Westheimer Peace Symposium, so we can't do a whole lot around it. April is taking people to the ReStore, so that's something. It's related somewhat to poverty - they build houses, after all =)

That's about all the reporting I have for today. I'm super excited about the ONE Campus Challenge!!

Sign up at http://one.org!

Until next time,
Caitlin

So many ideas!

We're still #27 in the standings, but that's way better than #133 last Saturday! I've been recruiting, getting friends and family members to sign up and support WC. It's even on my white board on my door, and I include it in my away messages on Instant Messenger. Next, I'm going to invite some professors. It's imperative that we have a strong network of support so that our efforts succeed. In the past, the Social Science professors have pushed my Hunger and Homelessness projects on their students; last semester I had a Hunger Banquet and some profs offered extra credit.

I hope the same goes for Third World Dodgeball. I submitted my paperwork and the dodgeballs have been ordered. It's scheduled for Monday, October 22 from 6-7pm. Hopefully I'll get a good turnout, and I have to make sure to take TONS of pictures!

I had a couple other ideas for ONE mini-projects. They're all centered around Halloween, or as I've deemed it, Hallo-ONE =]

We can paint ONE logos on pumpkins and pass out candy with snippets of ONE information on them. Oooh. Maybe we could have a Halloween party with candy and whatnot, or stuff mailboxes. I like the mailboxes idea. I'll start working on that this weekend.

Speaking of this weekend, I'll get my mom and sister to sign up, as well as talk about it with Nick's family - I know I asked Nick and his sister both to sign up, but I'll mention it to his mom too. I'm so glad it's taken off like this. We can keep it going strong!

I'm going to check out http://one.org and see what kind of merchandise is available. I'd love to have some gear to promote the ONE Campaign and the Campus Challenge.

Sign up!
Make poverty history!

It starts today.

I'm officially starting my 5-blogs-per-week blog today! As I explained before, this will get us major points for the ONE Campus Challenge; 300 points per week! What I find odd is that to mention ONE in a normal blog gets you 75 per day you do it, and after 5 days, you'd have 375 points. Whatever, I'm not really going to worry about it. I like having a blog devoted to ONE.

What we're going to do this week:

SLEB has a meeting every Monday afternoon, so I'm sure we'll start talking about ONE again tomorrow and making plans. Expect a blog about it! We already have a coordinator that deals with poverty awareness (me, Hunger and Homelessness Coordinator), so ONE fits in splendidly with our program.

Sometime in late October, I'm planning an event called Third World Dodgeball. I read about it on the 30 Hour Famine website and it sounds like a very useful tool to teach about the distribution of resources in the world.

The first thing we'll do is make two groups, one big and one small. The big group will pick a name of a third-world country, and the small group will pick a name of an affluent/developed country. After they have their names, we explain the rules. We'll have twelve dodgeballs in six colors - the big group can only use two colors. The small group can use any color dodgeball. The small group is allowed to cross the dividing line between sides to get balls they can use, but the large group is not allowed to cross the line (note: the players must be on their own side to throw/attack). Other rules might include allowing the small group to retrieve players that are "out" when they catch a ball thrown by an opponent, but not allowing the large group's players to do the same.

After the game, I will ask questions about how the game related to the world's situation. So many people are like that large group; they have few rights, they can't afford to do what the tiny little group of people can do. So much wealth of the world is in so few countries - and that's where ONE comes in. I will be able to fit in a blurb about the ONE Campaign nicely. I'll get the email addresses of anyone interested (since people tend to forget), and I'll also tell them the URL for one.org and mention that they can text in their membership on the campaign.

By the way, we're up to 27 in standings!!

We can make poverty history.

My ONE Blog

This blog will be devoted to my involvement with the ONE Campus Challenge, through the ONE Campaign to make poverty history. Last Saturday I found out about the ONE Campus Challenge, and I got excited. I immediately joined, invited people, made a Facebook group, and wrote an article about poverty for the campus newsletter. Why, you ask? To get points!

It seems strange that there exists a competition to reduce poverty, but it's definitely a motivator. My only fear is that people will get too distracted from the cause while they're focusing on winning.

Wilmington College is a small school. We were founded by the Quakers (or the Religious Society of Friends) in 1870. We have approximately 1200 students. And ONE is taking over the campus like the best kind of epidemic you can imagine. In five days, we went from #133 in standings to #33! Can you believe that? I think we can make a difference. Tiny little Dub C can make a huge difference.

We recently expanded our Service Learning Office into a campus-owned house, and we're now the Center for Service and Civic Engagement - and if this isn't Civic Engagement, I don't know what is.

The point of the Campus Challenge is to get points by doing ONE-related things, like dressing your pet in ONE gear, or taking a picture of 25+ students in ONE gear at an iconic location on campus. Some more tech-based points come from making a Facebook group (done!), and blogging about ONE.

If I continue to write in this blog 5 days a week about my involvement with ONE, Wilmington College will receive 300 points a week! I can do that! I'm going to start writing my 5 weekly posts this Sunday, October 7th.

Sign up to help Wilmington College in the ONE Campus Challenge! You don't have to be a student here - friends, family, students, and alums are all welcome to join, and if you're willing to help us out, you're definitely a friend of WC!

Go to http://one.org and look for the ONE Campus Challenge! Specify that you're for Wilmington College in Wilmington, OH and help WC make poverty history!
