Within two weeks, what started as 50 plus shoes has multiplied to 200+ Generous support from Jill, and many parents have jumped on board with the donation process. <span style="font-weight: bold;">We what to thank each and everyone who has taken the time to help with the project, especially, the donors who gave the shoes.</span><br /><br />We hope to connect the donors with the users by attaching a person who gave the shoes to the person who will wear it. Somehow, with the creative vision of the camera team we can make it happen. It would be nice to follow the story of a shoe I donated, and see which person has taken advantage of them. That's one of our goals, cross our fingers we can make it happen.<br /><br />We have already set a date on when we plan to drop off the shoes, we will keep you posted on the results as we get them. We hope to go even further to El Salvador and Guatemala for future projects.<br /><br />Thanks for reading this blog.<br /><br />to subscribe or follow this blog, <a href="http://www.blogger.com/follow-blog.g?blogID=4966356666358086371&loginTemplateDirectory=FOLLOWING">click here</a>.<br /><a href="http://www.spanishforsuccess.com/">SFS</a><br /><a href="http://www.spanishformedical.com/">SFM</a>Ready To Learn Spanish @http://www.blogger.com/profile/06522484359618167319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966356666358086371.post-13013565091381384762009-01-05T11:26:00.000-08:002009-01-05T11:34:27.424-08:00Shoe Drop Mexico 20091-4-09<br /><br />Happy New Year readers of this blog! As we are preparing for our shoe drop in Mexico, I wanted to make sure to update some of the followers and readers of the blog. Currently we have 20 + more shoes to give out to the kids, Kisha, one of our amazing friends has bought shoes from Delaware area, and has brought them to Los Angeles. She said the shoes where a great buy due to no taxes. Plus we have Jill who is also coordinating something in the Castaic area and working with some moms to collect some shoes. The project seems to be coming along, and more and more people are willing to join in on the small cause. We are hoping to make this very successful, and to plan for other trips in other countries.<br /><br />As we are brainstorming to more ideas for the future, I had suggested to also make future trips to Guatemala, and we can work with a local shipping company, and meet the supplies down there to deliver them in person.<br /><br />To keep you updated, make sure to subscribe and follow our stories. <a href="http://www.blogger.com/follow-blog.g?blogID=4966356666358086371&loginTemplateDirectory=FOLLOWING">Subscribe here</a>.Ready To Learn Spanish @http://www.blogger.com/profile/06522484359618167319noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966356666358086371.post-62016423606300575832008-12-30T02:06:00.000-08:002009-01-13T17:34:15.080-08:00Food Goods Delivery DayA thank you letter from LA Food Bank.

class="MsoNormal">12-11-2008</p> <p class="MsoNormal">What an<span style=""> </span>interesting night to go out and drop off some food to the homeless. Started the project with picking up the gang (Jesse Yamashito, and Paul Kemp) The preparations started a few days ago, when monetary donators gave us some cash to buy some food goods. This day in particular, Wednesday, Jesse was the one that made all the preparation of the food. He trekked from his home to 99 cents store, about 1 mile away, and back, walking. <span style=""> </span>After picking him up around 4 pm, we figured it was a late start, but figured we had to make the push, even if the sun is down. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">Ironically, before we went out, I had posted an update on my Facebook, and stated “Russo is about to do another brown bag food give away in skid row. Hopefully no problems arise.”<span style=""> </span>I should have withheld those statements as, incidents did occur. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">So as we started our drive around, we figured we can try and find some homeless people away from downtown, and maybe give all the food by then. This way we can try and avoid Skid Row, due to safety at night. Come 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes into it, we were not having any luck. In my eyes, and the group, there seems to be no homeless around. Could it be true that Los Angeles, and the developers have bonded together to ship them out in the outskirts of San Bernardino area? So we pushed on, as we were bound for downtown area, we got stuck in street traffic, hardly even moving, at most 5 mph. As we were trying to figure out on the shortage of the homeless, we suddenly get rear-ended by a white Lincoln Town Car. The impact alone was hard enough, but no one was injured. But a pedestrian had witnessed and heard all of the impact. We pulled into the right to investigate, luckily I was driving my pick-up truck. The guy who struck me, tried to down play that he actually hit my truck, and that there was no damage to the truck. All along the pedestrian was starring and laughing in the side walk. After I checked with the group, and everybody seemed ok, and there was little damage. I figured, we were in good spirits, so I decided to let the guy go, “get out of liability free card” <span style=""> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Continuing on, we managed to arrive in downtown, we made a turn into Los Angeles streets, and here we can across a group of homeless people who actually lived in boxes. So we stopped and started to give out the brown bags, as we handed one out, the first guy we gave a bag to, had asked us to “Knock in the box” of his neighbor. I tried to with held my giggles, as I found that to be somewhat funny, and was not use to it. Sure enough Jesse knocked and left the bag at the door, per say. This very same group, we also handed out used clothes, esp. jackets and pants. </p> <p class="MsoNormal">As we went deeper in the heart of Skid Row, we came across more and more interesting people. We<span style=""> </span>drove up into this one street, where they were all line up behind the fence with the shopping carts and boxes. One by one we handed food, and to highlight this part, a man with a cell phone, blue tooth, looking like a bum, manage to get his hands with one of the brown bags. I guess our homeless group is now more sophisticated than ever.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Overall it was a good productive afternoon. It was another feel good side project, which I hope others can get inspired, and make a difference.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Thank you for taking the time to read this blog.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">RM</p><p class="MsoNormal">

class="MsoNormal">Just an update on what has been going on in the last few weeks. We have also teamed up with Café Princesa for their efforts in collecting goods. They now are working with Toys for tots, which eventually in the future we can team up on other volunteer projects.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Plus, in the last three weeks, more and more people are donating more goods. Up to this date, we have two full boxes of goods to donate. So we are still good for the target time to drop it off to the LA food bank. Thanks to all the donators who help contribute for the holidays!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Today is our first run at giving some food individually to the homeless, headed by Jesse Yamashito, he was inspired by the campaigns and wanted to do more. So we have decided to team up once more to make some food and actually hand out some brown paper bags filled with food. We have decided to head to downtown LA, which many of the homeless are, most of the few hours we are driving, we are looking for anyone who is interested in getting a quick meal. Before that, we are going to spend about 1-2 hours preparing the food into the brown paper bags. So far, others have donated monetary to help pay for some of the expenses we have in buying the actual food goods. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_42O7vKpJf5M/SUOL67FCdjI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/7Pxk1-zseNA/s1600-h/PC100239.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_42O7vKpJf5M/SUOL67FCdjI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/7Pxk1-zseNA/s400/PC100239.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279217032615851570" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_42O7vKpJf5M/SUOMJL0telI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_lviJQEfbjA/s1600-h/PC100243.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_42O7vKpJf5M/SUOMJL0telI/AAAAAAAAAIY/_lviJQEfbjA/s400/PC100243.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279217277628938834" border="0" /></a></p><p class="MsoNormal">

Tis the season for giving, and it’s time again to coordinate another food drive for the community, and now medical supply, and kids shoes drive. This year we have new volunteers working with us, and want to thank them for taking the time to do so. Read some of the volunteer<a href="http://2008fooddrive.blogspot.com/"> profiles</a> in this blog. In the past I have personally worked with the LA Food Bank on a solo project, but did not really get good results with collecting canned goods. As time passed, I have realized that in order to get a better response from donators, I have to be able to work with volunteers to help spread the word, plus to go out to major super markets or stores and collaborate on this project. So this year, we are going on our small “campaign” to try and collaborate with the local community business. So wish us luck!!</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: rgb(153, 0, 0);font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >Food Drive 2008</span>, this year will be different, hopefully bigger and better! To start off, we have listed the objectives below on our plans to get the project going.</p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">1)</span></span><span style=""><span style=""><span style=";font-family:";font-size:7;" > </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->We need volunteers from the LA region to help coordinate with local super markets, shoe store for kids, or pharmacy store. Volunteers will collaborate on donation drive in front of business facilities. They will need to contact the business facility to ask for permission to set up a small booth or table to target passing customers. </p> <p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="text-indent: -0.25in;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style=""><span style="">2)<span style=";font-family:";font-size:7;" > </span></span></span><!--[endif]-->Volunteer times can vary from 4-8 hours per week.

The idea is to help collect supplies such as gauzes, tapes, bandages, anti-septic, anything that is non-perishable, or does not expire. These supplies will be handed to medical organizations abroad who are currently volunteering their time to aid the sick and unfortunate.
