Will there be more opportunities like this in the future that I would be able to participate in? I doubt I'd be able to as a student... I’m a current High School Junior.

Ben, we'll keep your thought about developing something especially for younger people. And, Alimasi , on this effort, our thought is that juniors and seniors might be able to participate in the program -- with parents ok, naturally. Rose Marie, thanks for reminding us about public access. That had not come up yet. Becky and others who have asked about timing, the Malaria Griots has been designed for a class of participants to take it together, learn from each other and teach we at Malaria No More and ONE as well. So, it's not totally self paced. That is why a common starting time is in place. The intention is to run the program again after the first class makes it through. If the timing is not right this round, I hope you can take part another time. Very interesting project on soles4souls! Again, thank you all. Mark, ONE.org All, some really great ideas here.

I am currently assisting Alexander Diaz with shoe collections for soles4souls. We are up to over 70,000 pairs of shoes and think there is around another 20,000 pairs uncounted. We are collecting until mid march and have a vigorous schedule through then due to working closely with 85 schools and a large area hospital. (there's just 4 of us)...I believe whole heartedly towards ONE and would enjoy the experience.

I support it, but I think I'm too young and inexperienced to participate. As a teenager interested in activism, I would love to see more programs like this, but directed towards younger people with less experience. Maybe something designed to get teens involved in efforts like this? This is a very interesting idea and program. I support it, but I think I’m too young and inexperienced to participate.

They are available to local community members, usually without charge. You can be a guest on someone's show, do a show of your own or put on a dvd from ONE. I had an earlier ONE dvd broadcast on our local public access TV channel in the past. In spreading the information don’t forget about local public access TV stations.
