I love seeing kids make a difference! Our school has been doing some amazing things! We have been raising money and awareness about health, education, poverty and sustainable development in South Asia through the Ambassador Club. Is there an Ambassador Club Facebook page?

Hey, Patrice, have you contacted the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago's Consumer & Community Affairs Department? Ii know they have had a role in teaching financial literacy to adults in areas with highly concentrated poverty - maybe they can lend a hand with the kids, too? Sounds like a good match-up to me!

Oprah's Angel Network caught Monday’s episode of The Oprah Show, which featured Khadijah, a once homeless teen whose fierce determination got her accepted into Harvard. It got us thinking: do you have a story about someone who’s beat the odds? Whether you volunteer or work at a homeless shelter, or have pushed through hard times yourself, we want to hear about it. Share your story: http://oprahsangelnetwork.org/community/share-your-story

P.S. I am going to volunteer to speak about name calling and its effects during No Name Calling Week (which I learned about from OAN) at local schools in my area. I have a meeting with Girls, Inc. when I get back to the US (I'm in France on holiday); hoping to partner. =)

Oprah's Angel Network Rebecca Onie, founder of recent grantee Project HEALTH, says “It’s well-documented … that access to basic resources—food, housing, fuel assistance, exercise programs, job training—directly impact the health of low-income patients.” To help fill in the gaps, her organization writes prescriptions for these very things. Read the story and then tell us: what changes would you make to improve the healthcare system?

Are there any grants available to help individuals with chronic illness who have lost their health insurance due to the recession, have extinguished COBRA, are unisurable thru private health insurance and are awaiting Medicaid/Medicare or other state/federal eligibility which takes several months, if not longer, to process, if you aren't denied????
