Like a Drop of Water
Like a Drop of Water is a website for the youth of the world to submit essays on what they and their home country can do to help stop climate change and pollution. My good friend, Dick Wainright, is the mastermind behind this wonderful project. I hope you have time to view his video and learn how you can help, by getting involved.
News:
Richard Wainright is a very talented author and has published many beautifully illustrated children books in his career. I had the good fortune of meeting Dick, in 2004, when he visited the school where I was teaching, to talk to the students about the craft of writing.
We became good friends and last October 2009, he invited me to be part of his new project. He designed a site for children to promote their environmental knowledge and awareness and I will be one of his writers. He also asked me to help with judging the essays, as a student/child will be awarded $100 each month, if their essay is selected. He knew my experience as an English teacher could be put to good use!
He is back from his adventure and travel in Egypt and I received this email today. I’m sharing his message below and hope you will send it out in cyberspace to schools, teachers, parents and children around the globe.
If you visit his site, Like A Drop of Water, you will learn the ENTERING THE CONTEST and how your child, student or class can .
I’m looking forward to reading all the essays and I know it will be difficult to select only one winner from each group that comes in!
Thanks for reading and I’m hoping you can help promote Dick’s mission by letting others know about Like a Drop of Water. If you have time, you should also visit his author’s site and review his book list.
His books are wonderful (I think I own every copy!)
Thank you for reading and hope you will support us!
