Hafa adai,

As an advocate of higher education, life long learning, and cultural diversity, I'm sharing these sites in a separate post today so you can find it easily in the future, as needed.

University of Guam GO TRITONS!
I am very happy to have been accepted to the Graduate program to complete my Masters in Education, TESOL!

Capella University

Completing undergraduate degree in business administration with Capella was awesome!  I highly recommend this university mainly because of the faculty and staff.

Bloglovin'
A collection of favorite blogs with all kinds of information and resources.  You're sure to find something you love here!

ISLAND GIRL POWER GUAM
Ayuda Foundation and IGP project director, Juanita Blaz have done an amazing job with IGP and the girls they take in.  "Island Girl Power is…A local Prevention Program focusing on offering positive activities & role models for young girls and their families.

Island Girl Power was originally founded in the Spring of 2002 by Ayuda Foundation (a 501C-3 Non-Profit Organization) including Carlotta Leon Guerrero, Shannon Murphy, Mike Cruz, Cindy Hansen, and Ayuda Board Members. The Guam Program was partially modeled after a U.S. National Initiative that began in 1998 and ended in 2003. IGP continued on with the local program to work on addressing our increasingly high rates of Teen Pregnancy, Suicide, Substance and Sexual abuse rates. IGP is not a Government program and is funded by Cooperative Mini Grants from Public Health (Rape Prevention), Corporate Sponsors (DFS, Community First Credit Union, Etc.), Foundation Grants (Pacificare), Donations and Fundraising Projects (rummage sales and car washes)."

VARO GUAM
This important group helps women by advocating not only for all victims of violent crime and trauma, but also to elevate the stature of women and children on our island, those most often victimized by physical and sexual abuse.  VARO provides annual Victim Advocate Intervention Training for victim advocate volunteers and other prevention/education and awareness presentations/training for the community. It is our hope that education and awareness will lessen the need for crisis intervention in future generations.




NOTE:  I do not receive anything from these sites I have listed in IslanderView.  Maybe in the future I will start to work with some.  Just wanted you, my readers, to know this.  I support these sites and organizations because I believe in what they do and/or offer.  Thank you.
