This morning as I was walking down the pathway to school, I noticed out of the corner of my eyes that the floor and walls seemed to be moving. It was hundreds of crabs scattering away from me on all sides! It rained yesterday, so they have all come out to lay their eggs in the ocean. -MEXICO ======================

Happy 5th Birthday One World Youth Project!
This is a year of transition for OWYP -- and we will be celebrating our 5th birthday by strengthening our program and designing more robust services for our participants! Although we value the quality of our services over the quantity of participants, someday we do want OWYP to be accessible to many more participants than it is currently yet still maintain a "community feel". We have a plan on how to do this. But, we need some time to implement our ideas. During the 2008/2009 program year we will be constructing a brand new website and curriculum. Stay tuned for the exciting launch of our new website in fall 2009! ================== Click here to learn about the 2008/2009 Project Ambassador team.

"I'm involved with One World Youth Project in order to help my students go beyond the textbook...the project allows our students to reach out beyond the confines of their classroom, their state, and their nation." -Sally Meredith, Teacher in New Orleans, Louisiana
Project Ambassador, Lindsey Tong, in Uganda "If you could see the looks in the students' eyes when they know they are going to be working on the project; they're excited... you can see it in their faces and voices!...students are having those 'aha!' moments that you rarely see in the classroom." -Paul Niles, Teacher in Orleans, Massachusetts
Students in Danville, Virginia "There are so many benefits to the program. For one thing students take on leadership roles that guide them in a positive direction...This project has really appealed to these students...it's changed their attitude toward school and their peers." -Kathy Renyer, Director of the International Baccalaureate program in Danville, Virginia
