Volunteer Opportunity - Palapa Society of Todos Santos is in need of "language mentors" for our children's after-school English program, beginning October 13. No formal teaching experience required. A syllabus and teaching aids are provided. Required is a knowledge of the English language, a desire to work with children of our community, and a smile. Two hours, one day a week. Classes are held Monday thru Thursday, 4-6 at The Palapa Center. - Donna Viglione, palapasociety[-at-]yahoo.com, 1450-299
Special Needs School Teachers Need Your Help! - The Special Needs School, aka Centro Atencion Multiple (CAM), staff need our $$$ help. A CAM conference is being held in Monterrey, MX in mid-October. New educational techniques will be presented. Educators from the US, Latin America, and several European countries will be attending to share their expertise! For more info about this incredible program, please go to www.primercongresosobrediscpacidad.com
Please! We have eight dedicated teachers at the school who want to attend. They realize that the children have much untapped
potential & they are helping them to help themselves.
And do know that the schools are not funded by the government which is why we reap all the benefits of paying lower taxes. So let's spread some of our savings around to benefit our teachers & local children.
Call me, I'll pick up your $$$ donations. Donation boxes will be at Cafelix & La Esquina, for sure. We hope we'll find other shops willing to take boxes asap. If you know Anita Harris & Sherri Neil, they'll take your donations too!. Many thanks for your help.

Re: Read Your Mail Online - We rent a PO Box at a local PostNet store in Portland, OR and they have agreed to scan all our mail and email it to us once a week while we're in Baja. This eliminates costly forwarding and we have our mail just minutes after it is scanned. Most high-end commercial copiers have this capability and our store owner has programmed a button on his copier with our email address so he can accomplish the weekly task literally "at the touch of a button." - Richard Archer, rja[-at-]rjarcher.com, 503-309-8502, Todos Santos
