community

Activist is not a bad word. We are activists and believe in the use of knowledge and experience to educate, through awareness efforts, in important social and environmental issues that will improve the way humans live. We are committed to lend our hands and help in our own unique way.

 

Caribe Girl Scouts Council

This year, we support the Caribe Girl Scouts Council on their 85th year anniversary in Puerto Rico. Girls Scouts is the world's largest organization dedicated to all girls (ages 5 to 17), supported by adult volunteers.

Research, conducted by Louis B. Harris & Associates, among Girl Scouts nationwide in the US, resulted in the following statistics:
• 87% do not feel pressured to have sex
• 90% do not feel pressured to use alcohol
• 92% do not feel pressured to smoke
• 96% avoid drugs
• 98% do not experience teenage pregnancy

Other significant facts:53% of Women Business Owners were Girl Scouts
• 66% of women of professional achievement were Girl Scouts
• 8% entered a vocation learned through a badge or patch program
• Two-thirds of the women in the House and Senate were Girl Scouts
• At least 2% will use their skills to save the life of another person

our planet

Ad-diction voted earth and we encourage you to do so as well. Take positive action against global warning and become partners with the environment. Earth Hour takes place each year on the last Saturday in March. Switch the lights off for one hour!

 

 

children

As contributing members to Unicef, last year we provided therapeutic milk supplements, measles vaccines, wool blankets, retinol/vitamin A and a 45-meter hand pump water well to provide clean water and defeat disease.

 

USPS stamps

We use First Class Commemorative Stamps that draw attention to important social causes or to applaud the effort of distinguished leaders from the past or present. We are currently using the Anna Julia Cooper stamp. It honors the educator, scholar, feminist, and activist who gave voice to the African–American community during the 19th and 20th centuries, from the end of slavery to the beginning of the Civil Rights movement.
