PictureThe Kids to Kids project - come join us!
The Kids to Kids Project was selected to be among the three youth groups highlighted during the upcoming year's International Development Week (IDW) campaign.The BC Council for International Cooperation (BCCIC) is highlighting the Kids To Kids Project as they celebrate the inspiring efforts of BC youth working collaboratively to make a difference on local-global issues for International Development Week 2013.  

The Kids To Kids Project was chosen from across the province to celebrate and participate in the IDW youth global citizen workshop in Vancouver on February 9th, 2013.  For over 20 years, International Development Week (IDW) has celebrated Canadians’ involvement in international development and cooperation.  Extraordinary young people across the country are actively engaging in the fight for a more just and sustainable future for everyone.  Keep your eyes open for the K2K as they are highlighted in stories to local media and showcased in a short video, featured on BCCIC’s website and social media.  

The Kids To Kids Project would love to hear from kids anywhere in Canada who would like to join in. We have partners in Assam through schools and colleges - and are waiting for more input from this side of the world.

Thank you for your donation of cameras.

Fertile Ground's Kids to Kids program has received over 15 cameras.  
The outpouring of generosity has been greatly appreciated from our organizers here in Canada and in Assam.  

Peggy Carswell our lead volunteer for Fertile Ground has  arrived in Assam,  India and has started working with groups to distribute and use the donated cameras.  Peggy says "In one town there is a group of kids that  range in age from 5 to 15, are studying at English medium schools, and would LOVE to take part in our kids to kids program! The eldest - a 15 year old girl - has the support of her father and grandfather to learn how to use one of the cameras that has been brought with us so that she can collect images of life in that town- the market, schools, parks, families, etc."

This is great news as some of the youth from the Comox Valley do the same activity on this side of collecting images of their lives and home town.  This images will be to send to these and other youth in our Assam, Kids to Kids, partners.  

Kids to Kids mandate is to support and connect the younger generations around the planet to work for global sustainability and your generosity is helping to achieve that goal.

This is a short video by Shaw TV about Fertile Ground's work in Assam - featuring Onyx and his mom!   They did a great job of giving viewers some information about our work here and in Assam, and that the video might inspire people to get involved in projects like ours that bring people from Canada and other parts of the world together.
