Get a glimpse into the life of things here at the Gandhi Brigade on Saturday December 5th. Youth Media Explosion 2009 will feature the Fall productions of local youth in design, photography, film, and blogging. Awards will be given and food will be served as we enjoy an evening of recognition of the amazing youth, volunteers and community supporters that make our work possible. All are welcome!

I graduated AYD in the Spring of 2008 with about 25 other youth workers, most of whom I had never met before but now consider friends and colleagues that are part of a growing network of folks dedicated to young people, justice, and resistance against ageism and all other -isms that affect our young people.

in case folks didn't catch it in Bronte's expose...there's been a few trips to the doc the last few days and 4 have been down for the count...including me. We weren't able to make the trip to San Salvador yesterday and watched morosely as everybody else galloped out the front gates on a new adventure.

As we contemplated our sick day staring at the hanging plants in front of the kitchen, Berty (a staff here at CAP and the husband of on of the participants) came by and asked why we were inside. We said we were lepers and had to recuperate before the rest came back. He said, let's go see some ancient ruins. and we did. Las ruinas de Cihuatan.
