Compliment people. Magnify their strengths, not their weaknesses.

Pictured above are some 5th graders that my amigo Piers Duffel is currently working with while volunteering in Swaziland for the Peace Core. He has been living there for almost 2 years now, and his most recent work centers around building a computer lab to help these children advance themselves. He has started an IndieGogo campaign in order to fund this project, and I would love for people to help. For the cost of lest than two macbooks, or a nice macbook pro, he can equip the Sidvokodvo Nazarane Primary School with a lab that can support all of the 600+ students.

"Establishing a Raspberry Pi computer lab will help to address the inequality my students are faced with on global and national levels. The Rapsberry Pi computer is appropriate for this campaign because it is inexpensive, uses very little electricity, will run Linux (reducing the need for costly proprietary software), typing tutorial and word processing programs, and can even expose children to programming – an increasingly valuable skill in our increasingly digital world. The lab will also be used to provide the students with offline versions of Wikipedia for research, the Khan Academy for mathematics, as well as serve as a creative and recreational outlet for students, which are currently nonexistent."

If you have a moment, please consider sharing, or if you feel so inclined, by all means donate to his cause.

Due to some technical difficulties on our end ( and a little forgetfulness ) our website is now http://www.THEpositivecollective.com ! This also means that e-mails that have been sent to us for the last few weeks/months have not gone through! If you reached out, or if you have a question or just want to chat about current events, please do so again HERE! We apologize for any inconveniences we may or may not have caused. Hope everyone has had an awesome holiday.

This is the Trainas and their home, which was completely obliterated during hurricane Sandy. They have lived in New Dorp Beach, Staten Island for 40 years, raising 4 children. This family is a personal friend of ours, and we are heartbroken to see that not only their house, but their business nearby was also destroyed. Allstate has turned their back on the family, so they are basically on their own with this. In the wake of this terrible news, we are for the next few weeks, trying to help gather funds in order to help the Trainas rebuild. Any and all orders will directly go to helping them get back on their feet, and I will have a completely brand new hand screenprinted poster ready to go in the next 48 hours that will also go to helping them. Honestly though, the best way to help them is by going to their website and donating, HERE. Their daughter has set up a fund in order to start recouping what was lost. And if you cannot do that, which is completely understandable, I would ask that you please please try and spread the word about this. Anyone who orders will be thanked by us in a post just for them. If you reblog this post you will get placed on the next FF list. Both of which will be seen by our almost 35,000 followers. Oh and if you donate directly, shoot us a message and we will send you some stuff in the mail, free of charge. You can check out their website HERE and read more about what happened, and to see what the Trainas are facing.
