Click here to support Change a Life: Khouloud & Khawla by Team Impala

RANDOM ACTS wrote - According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), 4.8 million people have fled Syria since the civil war began in 2011. Over 6 million others are internally displaced within Syria in numerous official and unofficial camps. Many of these families live in unsanitary, unsafe, inhumane conditions; where they survive on meager rations and have access to almost no health care. The stories of what is happening right now are tragic: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/06/27/syrias-war-on-doctors In situations like these, it s hard to know how one can help, but Gishwhes and Random Acts in partnership with our close friend, humanitarian photographer Giles Duley http://gilesduley.com/bio/ who has spent years helping families in refugee areas have decided that while we may not be able to solve Syria s problems, making some small impact is better than standing idly by doing nothing. Therefore, we have narrowed the scope and we are going to radically change the material situation of two sweet families that have suffered tremendously from this conflict. First, we invite you to join us in changing the life of Khouloud, her husband and 4 children: Khouloud was shot by a sniper and paralyzed from the neck down in 2012 while she was tending to her garden: I had tried to plant a small area of land near our house, as it wasn t possible to get vegetables like before. I was going to take care of the plants with my four children and suddenly a bullet ...

Hey everyone! If you can, please support Syrian refugees and Random Acts by donating here! It would help out Team Impala, Syrians in need, and Random Acts! If you can’t help out, please pass this along!

An Excerpt from the biography of the Elusive MJL

…What many people don’t know of, however, is the torrid love affair Ms. Jean Louise had with corn, of all things, in the past. Born with an allergy to the brightly colored vegetable, MJL was heeded by doctors and parents alike to stay away from it, lest she have an unfavorable reaction. Throughout childhood she would watch in envy as other kids bit into the yellow ears that were grilled up at cookouts, birthday parties, and cult induction ceremonies. Though she was able to touch the husk without going into shock, she could never experience the sweet taste of the kernel-clad vegetable-- or so she thought. While her feelings towards seeing others enjoying corn started out as mere envy, they began to morph into something decidedly more…covetous in her teenage years. She would constantly write poems in the style of Yeats-Meets-Kipling about the veggie, waxing poetic about its soft, supple husk and the hard, bumpy interior. As she grew older she threw caution to the wind and began stockpiling as much corn as she could get her hands on without raising immediate suspicion from her friends and family. From there, she began utilizing the corn in rather unconventional ways, including making actual clothes with the husks. On one memorable occasion, she wore her corn-husk cheerleading outfit to the local supermarket to cheer on the produce. She also vowed that she would either walk down the aisle in a red-tinted corn husk wedding dress or she would walk down the aisle in her birthday suit, which was decidedly less eco-friendly and had several moving parts that usually only served to alarm most bystanders. She even put in her will that she be buried with her coffin filled to the brim with popcorn, so she could leave the earth wrapped in the one thing she ever truly loved. This phase passed, of course, after years of counseling and dubious run-ins with the law, but to this day she still honors the versatile vegetable in her daily life. Basically she put an ear of corn in a shadowbox and it’s been slowly rotting in there for the past couple of years. Nonetheless, she keeps the rotting, odious veggie in the box as an acknowledgement of how profoundly it affected her life. To this day, her family still refuses to visit her home, especially after the last incident wherein her “gam gam” passed out from the noxious fumes.

The Great Kit Kat Discourse of GISHWHES 2016

Do you eat your Kit Kats like a normal person (Take a bite out of the whole thing) or like not a normal person (break off the pieces)?

[Edit: I’ll have you know this is not the opinion of the whole team, and Danni Clearly Is Wrong™ -Tam]

[Edit2: ……I STAND CORRECTED. I am sorry Danni this is my public apology, it’s somehow great? -Tam]

[Edit3: I told you Tam! Did you think I was lying to you?! -Danni]

hi! our application is on our page. it’s a bit long, but we tried to add in some fun questions too.

let us know if you have any other questions-danni

[team-impala]

Hi! I would like to try to be part of your team! But I wanted to know, if me and other friends will submit the application, you would still consider us as singular individual and could just pick one of us, am I right? Thanks for your understanding :)

At the end of the day we consider people on individual merit. That said, totally note your friend’s name so that we can look over both of your applications and consider them together also!

[team-impala]

How are applications going? Are they still open or have you already filled the spots?

we are still accepting applications. We are currently going through it a little slow, as some things have come up outside of gishwhes that we are currently focusing on. But we welcome your application and will continue with the recruitment process as soon as we can.

Hello, I'm am looking to fill out the application but since I am currently on my phone I can't upload any pictures of previous years let alone high quality, will the application be open for awhile?

Don’t feel overly rushed, you’ve got time.We’ll probably be keeping applications up for at least a few months, or until we find the right people who fit with us. Sooner is better, but we’re also not planning on making any decisions immediately either. All of that may change if Gishwhes updates and something becomes different, but that’s the plan in the mean time so there’s no reason to feel like you have to get it done asap. Take your time, that goes for everybody! Make your application really stand out. It’s funny to treat it like a job interview, but in a lot of ways it is kind of like that. Play our cards right and we could be on a trip with Misha when this is all over. :)While I’m at it, here’s a link to Team Impala’s 2016 Application form again!

Most likely a long shot, but I'm gonna guess there are no positions open on this team, right? Probably pointless to ask, you guys seem like a great team!

Hello! Harry here.As of right now we’re finalizing positions, if there are slots available we’ll have applications for any remaining slots up sometime around the end of December or sometime in January at the latest. Stay tuned!
