A Survivor's Story
Sandie Bellows, Survivor and Victims Advocate

10:30-11:00 What to expect when you call the police...
Speaker TBA, London Police Service
http://www.police.london.ca/
Less than 10 percent of sexual assaults are ever reported to the police. There are many reasons why a victim may choose not to report such a crime. One major reason is the fear of the unknown. This presentation is designed to help girls understand when they should call 911 - and what exactly is involved in reporting a crime.. what will the police officers say and ask when they arrive, will they have to inform your parents, will they advise you to go to the hospital... what are your rights... A female police officer will speak about what a assault victim can expect once a call is made to 911.

- * read Richard Gere's take on the Dalai Lama...pp 92-94...he ends by saying:"there are no true monsters; we're all redeemable and we're all in this together. I'm constantly amazed by the number of times the people I may be diametrically opposed to politically, who seem to have a totally different worldview from mine, someone I may even take to be an enemy, how often we end up doing extraordinary things together to help the world. You have to be able to quiet yourself a little bit to be able to listen."....... think of a time when you didn't think you would be able to get along with someone because of some preconceived notion of who they were or what they believed and you were able to overcome those barriers...explain how that went
-fyi...we/you will be facilitating the safe schools play on nov 26th..this will require some serious prep work ahead of that date

ok...as you can see...we are in 239...today's plan:
1. Read..... from today's paper
We begins with you
Me to We 2007 Me To We Day MeToWe.org Me to We
National Me to We day challenges Canadian youth to live their lives as socially aware global citizens.
Marc and Craig Kielburger
It's hard to believe it's been a year since we packed Ricoh Coliseum with students, educators and social leaders for our very first National Me to We Day.
Tomorrow, we do it all over again.
This year's event promises to be even more exciting than last year's. More than 7,500 youth from 40 school boards will watch the event live, in person. But this year, we're reaching out to hundreds of thousands more across the country through a live webcast at ctv.ca/metowe.
An incredible lineup of speakers are donating their time, including Mia Farrow, Justin Trudeau, Nate Berkus and the cast of Degrassi: The Next Generation, as well as entertainers Sarah McLachlan, Crash Parallel and the new Canadian Idol winner, Theo Tams. We will also hear from some remarkable young people who are making a difference in the world.
The energy at Me to We Day is an incredible thing to experience – and it's an energy that lives on once the microphones are turned off. You see, Me to We is more than just a one-day event. It is something that each of us can adopt into our daily lives.
When the day is finished, thousands of students will return home and begin taking action in their schools, their homes and their communities.
Through these actions, we can make a real difference in the world.
Me to We represents a shift in thinking – a philosophy of spreading a positive message and making one's voice heard. It's about embracing our shared humanity and thinking about our choices in a connected global context.
The Internet and other advancements in technology have virtually eliminated borders, and the goods we purchase often travel through different countries before reaching our checkout counter.
That means every dollar we spend, every action we take and every vote we cast will have a profound effect on the world.
That means we cast votes every day, not just during an election.
Ask yourself, where was my shirt manufactured? Who picked the beans for my morning coffee? What are the changes I can make that could change someone else's life for the better?
Through the small things – a warm conversation, a compassionate decision or a change in priorities – we can face the world's challenges and truly make an impact.
This is the shift from "me" to "we." And it's this shift we are celebrating tomorrow.
At this year's National Me to We Day, we will launch our newest initiative. It's called the 100 School Challenge and it's your chance to make a real difference.
For the 2008-09 school year, we are challenging all parents, educators and community members to help us raise enough funds to build 100 schools.
Each school we build will help change the lives and communities of young people in the developing world. Visit freethechildren.com for more information.
We believe that education is the best way to empower families to break the cycle of poverty.
At the same time, we believe it will empower you to get involved.
History shows us that every great social movement began with one incontestable truth: somebody did something.
Now it's your turn to take action.
Think "we." Pass it on.
Craig and Marc Kielburger co-founded Free the Children
2. work on:
Pep Rally....next wednesday....banners/ideas...meeting today at lunch
Spirit Squad...separate meeting at lunch
Haunted House...in less than 2 weeks....need ideas...a list of supplies needed
Coffee House....
Remembrance day
Bracelets....we need woodstock walmart hemp visit
Bulletin Board....1-3 people to make attractive bulletin board for showcase in upper hallway near drama room
Hallowen for Hunger....see info
If you have nothing to work on (doubtful and probably mistaken and somewhat worrisome, but anyway...).....everyone will be producing their own Me to We @IDCI promotional poster to be displayed around town (and marked as curriculum task)....the sooner we start on these the better but today is probably needed to work on these big projects

last blogs before first assessment
- so...what do you complain about the most.....it's not a bad thing...we all complain about SOMETHING (sometimes teachers even complain about students ..and vice versa....believe it or not)....explain what that is
- the book so far...you should have read to the end of pg 68......one thing that interested you so far (what do you think you will you remember?)
good luck....btw...last night ms hunter, jacquelyn harvey and myself attended a Me to We workshop in London and we met an actual Kenyan who helped coordinate the build a school projects in his area....it was awesome!...he was so thankful, so appreciative that people all the way across the world care about people in his village...he asked us to pass on a thousand thanks to all who have me to we in their heart....nice, huh?

a blogging day today:
already completed:
1. whale rider
2. gender activity
today's tasks:
3. Craig's story: you read about his reaction to a newspaper story when he was 12 years old.....ever had a story that made you mad?...explain....from page 12.....what 5 values do you hold most dear?....explain
4. Kim's Story ("the girl in the picture").....thoughts
5. Marc's Story:"what kind of legacy do you want to leave?"....respond to the question and to Marc's decision to walk away from a Harvard MBA...and ...if you could (and you probably could)....what would your positive social t-shirt message be (from pg 28)?
6.Read Keith Taylor's story on page 29 and comment on it and the power of philanthropy. Share an example from your life when someone went out of their way to do something nice for you (and/or even gave you money for something you needed)
7. Read: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3157570.stm
explain these results.....are they surprising to you? List the five things you think you need to be happy in life.
8. Personalize your blog...add photos/videos etc.....make it yours
if finished, read on in the book
tomorrow, we will plan for me to we, remembrance day, coffee house,..whatever
see you then
