By the 5th graders of Emerson Gridley, after school, Champs program. Organizer - Deborah Sementelli in Erie, PA
Title - Our Earth
Dream Theme - Community
Photography, fuzing, paint, fiber and handstitching.
"Our panel for the Dream Rocket was designed by the 5th graders of the Emerson Gridley, after school, Champs program. I worked with the students for a 28 day Artist redency after school from 3-5pm. We spent a number of days in the computer room looking at the Dream Rocket web pages and then talking about all the ideas they had as to a design og their own.
We worked with color theory, did rubbings, learned basic sewing skills and basic design concepts. Each of the 12 students made their own fabric panels that they got to take home at the end of the project. The Dream Rocket project ideas were tossed around and it wasn't until Earth day that we finally committed to an idea. I split the students up into groups and each group was given a letter of the word Earth to act out.
We had a lof of fun working together and the students not only enjoyed hamming it up in the photos, but having their image on the quilt made the project even more important to each of them. Daily discussions were held on the Dream Rocket concept, the individual student's dreams of their future, world events and their community at home.
I know the overall experience is one the children will remember for life."

We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.

“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

Jim Merzenich shows a bird house intended for bluebirds on a cleared field that use to have up to 15 feet of blackberry bushes covering it. The field was cleared using a Caterpillar skid steer with a cutting attachment (see other photo in set). Jim and Ed Merzenich hosted a tour with about 35 friends, partners in conservation, and members of the Oregon Small Woodland Association. They shared information and showed what they have been doing in conservation and restoration on their 961-acre tree farm located in the Coburg Hills south of Brownsville, Ore.
The bird house appeared to have a current bluebird nest inside.

4 March 2014. Tawila: A woman and her child wait to be attended in a food distribution center in the Rwanda camp for internally displaced people (IDP) in Tawila, North Darfur.
More than 8,000 women and children living in the camp benefit from two nutrition programs run by the World Food Programme (WFP) in the camp. One is Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme, which is designed to treat moderate acute malnutrition among children under the age of five and pregnant and nursing women. The other is Integrated Blanket Supplementary Feeding Programme meant to prevent malnutrition among children under the age of three. Through both programs, women learn to prepare highly nutritious food by combining corn soya blend with sugar and oil or by using local ingredients such as lentils and cereals. The women also learn basic child care practices that prevent infection and sickness among their children.
