General Updates

Hello everyone. Because this is a short week and we missed Recap Monday, I’m just going to do a combination post for today and the usual Friday MashUp on Friday.

Firstly–if you’re interested in the Youth Educators for Human Rights volunteer opportunity that will be taking place very soon on June 12, you can find all the details and sign-up form here. The link to the form can be found at the very bottom and by the time you read this, it should be updated to very large font size so you can’t miss it. Sorry if there was confusion before hand!

Secondly–don’t forget that on June 1st, the Alberta Native Friendship Centres Association will be having their first annual Walk for Friendship event. Please consider supporting this organization–it does great work and doesn’t get nearly enough attention that it deserves. Head over to their site for more details or check out our Feature Wednesday about it from last week.

Thirdly–if you’re a school, rural community or summer camp, the 2010 Rights in the Sun sessions are now available for scheduling. Please contact rits (at) jhcentre (dot) org to schedule your camp!

Finally, today’s Feature Wednesday is focused on Arabesque, a socially conscious hip-hop recording artist , who released a new video called “Understand” which focuses on the story of 4 immigrants, their journey to North America and the struggles they face here. Check out his video below!

That’s it for your Feature Wednesday/Recap Monday update. See you on Friday for MashUp!
