A lot is going on though. We had a great dance party with the folks from Au Coeur des Grottes at the mr. pickwick pub and lots more.

Please check the new engaGE serving opportunities online.

Here are a few highlights:

The next engaGE get-together is on Sunday November 25th @ mr. pickwick! Next to the normal engaGE stuff the focus will be on the one-campaign as it is the “make poverty history” weekend. Organizations from all over the world are participating. It will be from 12.30 ’till 14.00 (afterwards we will have lunch at mr.pickwick).

On November 20th there will be a Soup Kitchen serving opportunity. It will be a “thanksgiving” style meal and each person will be served at the table for this special meal. Please email us if you are interested to help. We are still looking for 6 people.

And finally: The engaGE 2008 WEEK will be from July 6 - 13th 2008. Mark your calendars!

Always be prepared to change (y)our world!

Magali Rochat) made a report on us. Due to the normal selection process for ‘news’ we don’t think it actually made it on TV, so you can watch it here:

We presented the engage-agenda for the next couple of months. We forgot to take a overview picture or even a picture of the food, but here’s a photo of Robyn and Sonar discussing opportunties for sponsoring!

We did a brainstorm on how we can serve in each area of our objectives:

- children first
- all are equal
- care for planet
- educate and train
- promote health
- heal disease
- poverty history

Furthermore we asked people to help us think how to receive more sponsoring.

Something truly special happened when one woman named Isabelle (not her real name) shared her story with us. Isabelle is the kind of person who walking around the streets of her home country would be automatically recognized, as she was a TV personality. When her country was plunged into war, all of her livelihood came crashing down. During EngaGE, we met Isabelle and her children. Of course, we didn’t know their stories then.

In the last weeks EngaGE rallied the troops of provision and goodness to provide household items for Isabelle and her children who are now able to move out of the shelter and into an apartment. We collected all sorts of things and delivered them.

It was special to know Isabelle and her children by name and to be able to learn from them. Bono would say: this is not charity…

Thanks for participating with us.
