World Social Forum Project 2004
Three students at Santa Monica High School have been working diligently in the community these past few months to rally support and raise money for their World Social Forum Project. Student Kesha Ram learned of the World Social Forum, taking place in Mumbai this upcoming January, at the Bioneers conference in San Rafael, and captured the interest of Molly Parent, Amara Russell, and Samohi Faculty Member Michelle Kenney. Their goal is to attend the Forum, which is a global event for indigenous peoples, agricultural workers, and social activists alike, to document the issues of environmental and social injustice (e.g. water rights, Monsanto, WTO), and bring back what they learn to the community via multimedia presentations. If you appreciate what they're doing, you can support them by viewing their presentation at our next Green Party meeting and learning about what's going on around the world! These students want to educate us by transporting the words and stories of those eperiencing the injustice firsthand. In addition, as with most good causes, they need funding to keep their project alive, so please bring what you can to donate to the girls. Remember, these young people are our future, so please show them your support!
