If you do only what you know and do it very, very well, chances are that you won’t fail... True failure is a mark of accomplishment in the sense that something new and different was tried.

Thank you to all who contributed so generously to the Nature Action Teams from Haiti and Louisiana. Over $9,000 was raised to bring multi-disciplinary teams from these communities to participate in the Connecting Children with Nature Action Forum in order to prepare for campaigns to connect children with nature. After the Forum in October we will be carrying periodic updates on the campaigns of all 60 Nature Action Teams from 30 nations.
The Pepsi Refresh Project is awarding $250,000 for the top vote getting project among 1,200 contestants. Currently ranked #23 is Teacher Education and Compensation Helps (T.E.A.C.H.) Early Childhood® Project. T.E.A.C.H. provides comprehensive scholarships to early educators in 20 states. Scholarships provide access to higher education for a low-income workforce that cannot afford college. Scholarships enable early childhood teachers to take coursework leading to early childhood credentials and degrees by making it possible for them to afford both the time and expense of going to school. Research shows that young children who are cared for by educated teachers are more likely to graduate high school, pursue secondary education, and contribute to a viable workforce.
If T.E.A.C.H. wins the $250,000 grant from Pepsi, it will provide 325 scholarships for teachers. To cast your vote for T.E.A.C.H, click here.
