The Kellogg Foundation's Mid South Delta Initiative (www.msdi.org) is launching a new project to design new futures for the Delta Region (including Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi). As part of the project, MSDI is forming three design teams (one for each of the following topics: grassroots organizations, leadership development, and youth development). We want people of all races, age groups, and socio-economic status to participate in these groups, and MSDI is will to pay participants $300 plus travel expenses to attend each meeting.We are having trouble getting the word out (particularly to young people) about this opportunity. We're looking for people aged 15 and up who live in the Delta Region. There is an online application available at www.msdi.org/LiftingUpTheDelta. The application deadline is July 3, 2006.

Sarah Miller says:I live and work as a volunteer with the Youth With A Mission missions base in Maringá, Brasil (international Christian organization) ..... YWAM actually has thousands of bases worldwide in more than 160 countries. We are open to individuals or groups coming here to spend anywhere from a few days to (normally) around 10-14 days....
I´m the international contact for our base and one of the few Americans at the moment....if there is anytime you think that you might want to come visit, volunteer for some time, bring a team, group....we are a Christian organization, but honestly have non-Christian groups (for ex in 2 weeks a public high school boys football team arrives for 10 days) coming.
