Last fall, David Bates put on a unique haunted house event in Brookline, Massachusetts, as a benefit for sick children. ‘Scary-Good’, his project in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program, was both a haunted house and costume party held on Sunday, October 30, with a $10 fee that went to Milagros Para Ninos (Miracles for Children) Fund at Children’s Hospital. Bates has a strong connection to Children’s Hospital – his own son Andy was diagnosed with a terminal illness, and survived it thanks to treatment and care received at the hospital. Bates wants to be sure that all parents and children have access to groundbreaking research and care. The full story of the event is available at Wicked Local Brookline.
From Facebook comes word of a unique project created in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program: a ‘Superhero Support Group’ wherein classes are given for 8-12 year olds where they are empowered to be ‘physically, mentally and creatively nourished’ to reach their full potential.
The classes are taking place on Saturdays starting October 1st at the Freemont Abbey Arts Center in Seattle, Washington – visit the Superhero Support Group for more information.
HelpHungryChild, an organisation created in Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Programme by Devi Raj Getiyavar to do exactly what its name implies, is hosting its launch event on Saturday, June 18th at the Mandhata Youth & Community Center, Mandhata House, 20a Rosemead Avenue, in Wembley, starting at 12:30pm.

Olivia Seery’s concern for the presence of peace in an open world where all people experience beauty, dignity and freedom has her committed to raising €5,000 for Ireland’s largest children’s charity, Barnardos. This project is part of Landmark Education’s Self-Expression Programme which she leads in Ireland. What she is taking on is to climb Africa’s highest mountain, Mount Kilimanjaro, next September. She has titled her project ‘Back to Africa for Ireland’s children’.
During the 1970′s, Olivia spent almost three years in Africa, and one of her five children was born there, so it is a joy for her to revisit that Continent. She is, however, acutely aware that not many women of her age would dare take on that massive task. If you wish to donate to this great cause please follow this link to Barnardos.
Children from the Hutch School in Seattle, a K-12 school that serves children who are being treated at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center or have family members being treated there, had the opportunity to become photographers, thanks to Deborah Kirsner’s project she created while attending Landmark Education’s Self-Expression and Leadership Program. According to an article in the Herald News, kids had the opportunity to attend a March 23rd photography workshop run by Kirsner, after which they were given film cameras to shoot what they liked. Their photographs were then framed and given to the kids on their April 12th Arts Day. Continue reading 'Hutch School Kids Become Photographers'»
