| Youth Lead OKC Training @ Casady School Spring 2013 |
"There are two lasting bequests we can hope to give our children: One of these is roots, the other, wings." ~ Henry Ward Beecher
Based on the famous quote, Roots & Wings provides training and consultation for youth and the adults who care about them in the areas of leadership, communication and identity development. We believe there are two things that we all need in order to become amazing human beings: Roots (identity and confidence in knowing who we are and where we come from) and Wings (the skills necessary to navigate and create positive change in this global world). About Roots & Wings: http://www.rootsandwingstraining.com/ About Tabitha: Founder and CEO of Roots and Wings, Training and Consulting |
Tabitha holds degrees in Psychology and Education from Clark University and has been in the field of Youth Leadership Development for nearly 20 years. She has received extensive training in the areas of communication, mentorship, diversity engagement, peer mediation, leadership development, facilitation, dialoging, anti-bias and primary prevention education. She has worked in public schools, community-based programs and non-profit organizations with youth of all ages, parents, teachers and mentors from all over the country. Over the last 15 years she has specialized in youth leadership development at the middle and high school levels, empowering all types of youth leaders to strengthen their character and identity, connect with others through deeper communication and effect change in their community. When she is not supporting others in their work, she is at home raising two young leaders of her own and working on her own communication skills.

I represent all the local franchisees in the state of Oklahoma handling their communications and social media efforts. Our budget is already set for the remaining portion of the year, but this might be an opportunity for the McDonald’s closets to you. I will pass along the email below to that franchisee and get their feedback connecting you. Ronald McDonald has a schedule appearing at schools across the state. I will ask him if this might be an opportunity and let you know. It sounds like there is a service requirement every year for kids attending Casady. So, I will add this to our planning for 2015 discussions. This would allow us to plan on an appearance from Ronald and booth participation for event in the future. Thank you again for stopping by our booth at Vision 2020 and reaching out. We’d love to work something out.

PEACE ONE DAY GLOBAL CAMPAING ON 9/21
Dear Casady PEACE TEAM,
Two months from now, individuals and organisations from around the world will come together on 21 September to call for peace in our homes, schools and communities. It will be the loudest call for global peace the world has ever known and we can all help amplify this message.
This is the first year of our three year project in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and the Great Lakes region of Africa (GLR), demonstrating how the day can be a window of opportunity for humanitarian and life-saving activities. Working with a range of organisations including UN bodies, NGOs, faith groups, schools and individuals, we have already received word of a number of incredible plans taking place in the region, including:
- In partnership with UNICEF and the DRC Ministry of Education, Peace One Day is distributing peace education posters in six languages to over 51,000 schools in the DRC.
- Jeuness’Espoir has created a coalition in Bas-Congo to drive Peace Day activity across the province.
- UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is supporting refugees in the GLR in a number of ways including the voluntary repatriation of refugees from Uganda to the DRC, the distribution of fuel-efficient stoves to IDP camps, as well as organising a mini-marathon in Goma.
- As part of their ‘Peace in the Great Lakes’ initiative, the Association of the Catholic Episcopal Conferences of Central Africa and the Provinces of the Anglican Church of Congo, Burundi and Rwanda are organising a three-day prayer for peace (Triduum).
- Corporate Coalition member Greif will distribute 6,000 water backpacks across the DRC and the GLR to help people safely carry clean water.
This is just a selection of the activities that will take place in the region and beyond on Peace Day. For more plans and to find activities where you are please check out our Peace Day Tumblr page. If you are marking the day we want to hear from you! By filling in this short form you can help us tell the global Peace Day story, inspiring others to get involved.
To showcase this support for Peace Day, Peace One Day’s celebration in Goma, DRC - with performances from Akon, Lexxus Legal and Dety Darba - will see your activities broadcast to the audience in Goma and around the world.
Together this celebration can be a symbol of our collective actions the world over for peace.
If you are in the region and would like tickets please email us here.
With two months to go, we can make this Peace Day the biggest yet. We look forward to hearing from you regarding your plans. The very best of luck!
Many thanks
In peace
Jeremy
