January’s devastating earthquake impacted all Haitians, particularly children. As young people ourselves, we felt inclined to help provide direct aid to the children of Haiti. The Global Orphan Project transforms lives by caring for more than 3,500 orphaned and abandoned children in fourteen of the most desperate countries in the world. The GO Project uses a unique, community-based model, partnering with local leaders to provide children with a caretaker, a safe place to live, two-meals a day, an education, and access to medical care. For more information about the Global Orphan Project, you can go to their website http://theglobalorphanproject.org/

Thursday is a Half Day (1-4) for Carnival. There are a lot of great club events happening this week, including the premier of Peer Leadership's Stress Documentary. Brick Prison Playhouse kicks off on Thursday after Carnival and continues through Saturday.

CLUB, TERM COUNCIL, AND PUBLICATION ANNOUNCEMENTS

Peer Leadership's Stress Documentary Premier
Auditorium, June 2nd, Entire Day
Peer Leadership is a club containing students from grades 9-12 who discuss and act on ways to improve the Hunter community. June 2nd is the premier of our stress documentary project. The spirit for this project was triggered by our perception of an extraordinarily high-pressure atmosphere at Hunter, a feeling that was later solidified by the striking results in the stress portion of the Middle States Survey results. We have interviewed many students and have received a lot of feedback on how much stress they have to face daily. We believe this film honestly portrays the average Hunter student's life, including their workload and extracurriculars. This message is a shout-out to all Hunter teachers, students, and faculty to visit the auditorium on that day and view the movie at least once, and encourage members of the Hunter community around you to do the same!
Please contact Isabella McKinley (isabella.mckinley@gmail.com), Aron Wander (arwander@yahoo.com), Ms. Rushforth, or Ms. Bowler with any questions!

HCHS Anonymous Bakesale
Friday, June 4th, G.O. Foyer
The purpose of Anonymous is to enable the Hunter community to share and seek advice anonymously.

And thus, we invite you to our very first bakesale ever. We, Hunter's first and only forum-based, question-answering, anonymously-helping, younger-termer-acknowledging club would like to feed you! Stop by the G.O. Foyer on Friday, June 4th, for calories in the form of awesomeness.
P.S. Check out our beautiful new design: http://www.hchsanonymous.webs.com/
P.P.S. Our anonymity exists for your advantage. Use it! Ask us anything

With $10 you can help us raise funds and create a network of caring individuals dedicated to effecting positive and sustainable change for Haiti’s young people, all the while becoming part of it yourself. Feel free to pass this on, and go for 10 for $10 as well. After all, what’s global about keeping things to yourself? Please mail your checks of $10 (or more, don’t feel limited!) with the form attached below to Lindsey Stolarsky at Hunter College High School.

Global History for Haiti—10 for $10 - A letter from Ms. Stolarsky's Global Class
The Global Orphan Project transforms lives by caring for more than 3,500 orphaned and abandoned children in fourteen of the most desperate countries in the world. The GO Project uses a unique, community-based model, partnering with local leaders to provide children with a house “momma,” or caregiver, a safe place to live, two meals a day, an education, and access to medical care. GO also recognizes economic development as a way to reduce the number of orphans in the world. They help launch local businesses that provide jobs and training. Finally, due to a few donors that cover overhead costs, 100% of your donation will go directly to provide care for the children. For more information about the Global Orphan Project, you can go to their website: http://theglobalorphanproject.org/ .
Here’s our plan: each one of us is going to find 10 people to donate $10 each. Why just $10? We want to show that it doesn’t take thousands of dollars to make a difference. We want to create a network of people who care. With $10 you can help us raise funds and create a network of caring individuals dedicated to effecting positive and sustainable change for Haiti’s young people, all the while becoming part of it yourself. Feel free to pass this on, and go for 10 for $10 as well. After all, what’s global about keeping things to yourself? Please mail your checks of $10 (or more, don’t feel limited!) with the form attached below to Lindsey Stolarsky at Hunter College High School. You can contact our teacher with any questions or concerns at 646-963-6300 or lstolars@hccs.hunter.cuny.edu.
