February Charity of the Month:

HOPE CHILDREN’S FUND

There are 22 orphans who still need to be sponsored through Hope Children’s Fund’s sponsorship program - $1/day or $365/year will help send these children to school so they have a better chance to succeed. You can visit their website at www.HopeChildrensFund.org or contact Kevin Mann at KevinMannMail@gmail. com to learn more and view photos of these children. Upon sponsoring a child, you will receive a photo and bio of them, and you can write letters/send e-mails directly to the child to provide them with hopeful messages to brighten their days.

Kevin and his wife often travel to Meru to visit the orphanage and welcome sponsors to travel along to meet firsthand the child they sponsor.

Another way you can become involved is by hosting a craft fair to sell Kenyan crafts made by the Meru Women’s Collective. You will be provided with the goods, and all the profits generated will go back to the children at the orphanage. Contact Kevin Mann for more information.

Lastly, Hope Children’s Fund will host their first gala at East Wind in Wading River on February 18th. Tickets are $200, and all are welcome to attend to support this charity and learn more about what they do! Contact Kevin Mann to purchase your tickets now and be a part of something that truly matters.

If you would like your organization to be featured in this column, e-mail Noelle@SouthBaysNeighbor.com

Leaving a (Paw) Print I recently received an e-mail for an event listing from a teacher at my old high school, which sparked a conversation about how many years it’s been since I roamed those very hallways myself {approaching 18, nearly half of my lifetime} and how it might be nice to stop by to say hello to the relatively few teachers who remain there after all this time.

Which got me to thinking… there was a time when my fellow alumni and I couldn’t wait to “visit” after we graduated, popping in every few months or so to see what was new and exciting in the world of Lindy High. As the years passed, college came and went, and we found ourselves employed in our various fields of study, these encounters became few and far between.

We no longer related to those teenagers who breezed by on their way to class, nor did we

see high school as the center of the only universe we had ever inhabited.

We now had the world before us, one that included days not marked by a bell schedule, job descriptions not dictated by a syllabus. Sure, there was the occasional visit to the old college campus now; perhaps a special “guest” speaking engagement to a group of soon-to-be grads about to embark on their own adventures into the great world of career exploration.

But that was where the academic connection ceased.

Fast forward nearly two decades past these formative years, and the nostalgia for simpler times has returned.

Having the opportunity to reconnect with those friends and former classmates has taken on added significance as the years have passed.

Several have left us far too soon; others’ lives have taken

them to the far reaches of the country, making the advent of social media a welcome - and perhaps the only - connection.

But among the hundreds that we graduated with, there are also the dozens who still reside right here on Long Island, instantly reachable and available to reminisce at any time. It’s a comforting thought, that ability to pick up where you left off at a given point, to chat about old times and new pursuits, and to realize - with rare exception - that we are all dealing with the same daily struggle to find that sense of fulfillment that was promised to us all those years ago.

Perhaps a visit to the old high school stomping grounds is in order; a “refresher course,” if you will, courtesy of the very place where it all began. As they like to say in Lindy… once a Bulldog, always a Bulldog…

“I believe all things happen for a reason” Kevin Mann, Vice President of Hope Children’s Fund, said to me as we sat down to talk more in-depth about this international non-profit. It was not by coincidence that he and his wife crossed paths with Lawrence Hohler, retired Smithtown East HS teacher, and Joseph Kirima, primary school teacher in Kenya, to learn about what those two educators came together in hopes to form: a Kenyan orphanage.

Hope Children’s Fund operates with the motto “Education Is Key” and for children in Kenya, this couldn’t be more true. Without an education and the ability to speak English, these children often lack the opportunity to rise above fetching water and cutting wood. Mann explained, “The government in Kenya doesn’t have the resources to take care of the children in their country like the United States government does.” It is not shocking to see a very young child in Kenya hopelessly wandering the streets without family, hungry and just trying to survive. Hope Children’s Fund does something about this problem.

In 2001, Hope Children’s Fund registered as a nonprofit and raised $40,000 through donations – precisely enough money to begin construction on an orphanage that stands high up on a hill in Meru, Kenya. By 2005, the orphanage opened and began transforming lives for children, many of whom had lost their parents in the AIDS epidemic. This orphanage, Jerusha Mwiraria Hope Children’s Fund Home, has a dining hall and a dormitory for boys and girls. It provides the children with shelter, steady meals and the opportunity to attend school. The children are shown family values and given chores to complete in order for them to gain life skills.

They currently house 100 children and have had many success stories. One of their favorites is of a young lady named Betty Gakii who entered their orphanage when she was little, did well and became a teacher, later got married and had children of her own, and now is the Administrative Assistant at this same orphanage!

Kevin feels that he and his wife have received and learned much more from the orphans than they’ve given and taught them. With that being said, if you would like to help change the lives of orphans in Kenya, you can!

Arrowhead Elementary School students in Renee Rust’s class have been exploring winter themes throughout the month of January, discussing such things as snow and how to dress for the winter.

As part of this lesson, the students worked collaboratively to construct a beautiful snowman for the school’s main lobby

using a plethora of recycled and reused materials.

From different sized balloons to make the head, belly and bottom of the snowman to paper towels, glue and water to make the papier-mache mixture, the students’ creation quickly took shape. Once constructed, the class painted the snowman and added

different embellishments to complete the display, including using coffee filters to create snowflakes, bedazzled buttons for eyes and a hat.

The students further studied the topic by reading several stories, including “How’s the Weather?” “I love Snow!” and “The Mitten.”

e-Waste and Shredding Events

Where Truth Lies By: John McGowan

Amidst fake news and alternative facts I wonder where truth abides So much information and chatter forthcoming from both sides It seems to me it lies beneath the spinning that I hear So unlike a setting sun so simple and so clear Somehow I hope this fog will lift And we’ll witness what is real Until that time let’s stay the course Awaiting what truth will reveal.

Left to Right By: Gail Apple Gardner

Camaraderie is non-existent on our planet, and distrust and failure are in view.

I think we’ve lost our way in our values; we don’t love each other like we used to do.

SUFFOLK ZONE 6 - NEIGHBOR NEWSPAPERS - WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 7, 2018 • www.southbaysneighbor.com

Left to right now has a different angle; nothing is straight anymore, and we’re caught in the middle of what is and what was, and the way our children are now being taught.

We can’t fly with just one single wing; we need the left and right to make it safe and sound.

Without both wings holding together, I’m afraid we’ll never leave the ground.

Blindness, dark and dreary days now; rosy glasses won’t help us see the light.

If we don’t stop this madness now, then it will be too late to set things right.

Left to right once seemed so easy; up and down and circles, freaking out.

God, we need some help here, we forgot what life is all about.

“Making something useful, yet complex, which everyone can take home and share with their families was the highlight of the semester,” said Akers. “This type of project-based learning provides necessary handson lessons and keeps enthusiasm levels high.”

Westy Self Storage in East Northport proudly hosted General Needs Ltd New Volunteer KickOff & Orientation Event.

General Needs Ltd is a nonprofit organization that provides basic necessities to the 5,000+ homeless Long Island Veterans and their families.

The well attended event provided much information on the group’s vast services.

The Executive Board was present to greet everyone and answer any questions.

The General Needs Committees, ranging from Financial, Distribution, Fundraising, Grants, Legal, Publicity, Purchasing, Speakers, Volunteers and Warehouse, were also on hand to describe their roles and offer support

and services. There was a detailed presentation given by Lonnie Sherman, President, General Needs outlining their mission, history and growth. There was also a recap of their outstanding 2017 efforts: 3,832 “Distributions with Dignity,” 1,241 meals served and 26 beds and household “kits” dispersed.

“We are deeply grateful for Westy’s support and all that they continue to do for us. Thanks in part to Westy, we had a very successful evening with many new members joining our group.” said Lonnie Sherman, President, General Needs Ltd. “It’s hard for many people to imagine living without the everyday necessities.

Our veterans deserve more. Help us to help

those who have served our great nation,” continued Lonnie. It’s never too late to get involved. General Needs appreciates every volunteer for their unique skill set, availability and commitment to the efforts to support the homeless veterans and veterans in need in our local communities. For more information, please visit www.generalneeds.org.

“It is with great pride that we assist General Needs,” said Joe Schweyer, District Director of Westy Self Storage, East Northport location. “It is important to the Westy family to provide assistance to those in need, especially those who have given so much for our country.”

Long Island Fight for Charity, the nation’s only all-volunteer charity fund raising event and program is now conducting its search for 2018 volunteer charity boxers. Since 2003, over 300 men and women have earned the title of LIFFC Alumni Boxer. If you ever wanted to do something different and challenge yourself this is the year to make the commitment.

The LIFFC 15th Main Event to be held on Monday, November 19th, 2018 will feature 10 or more bouts between volunteer charity boxers who have demonstrated their personal commitment to raising a minimum of $10,000 for the Fight for Charity organization’s fund, raising goals that benefit local charities, intensive physical training and participation in promotional activities and media interviews. Over $1 million has been donated to Long Island charities since LIFFC’s founding.

Applications are now being accepted for volunteer charity boxers

who will enter training to prepare them to step in the ring at the 15th Main Event. Boxing experience is not required. What is required is a commitment to fundraising, “character,” a willingness to train and be ready to meet a business colleague toeto-toe in the ring in front of a thousand fans. This is a rare opportunity for individuals to make a personal commitment of time, talent and to truly “give back.” Hundreds of men, women and children here on Long Island dealing with life’s struggles will be the benefactors.

Since 2003, LIFFC has distributed funds each year to Long Island charities including: Long Island Community Chest, The Genesis School, National Foundation for Human Potential (FREE) and other local charities.

“Men and women from the Long Island business community who want to ‘give back’ to the community in a meaningful way will want to consider volunteering to be a charity boxer.

Every year since Fight for Charity was founded we have been fortunate to have the boxers, sponsors and volunteers that have contributed to the overall success of the mission to support local charities,” said Fight for Charity President, Jeff Cohen. “The fans are never disappointed when they see these men and women perform in the ring like true champions for charity. Now is the time for this year’s volunteers to step forward and start prepping for November’s Main Event.”

If you have roots in the Long Island business community, relish both physical and mental challenges and possess a spirited drive to “give back” and improve the lives of fellow Long Islanders, you will want to visit www. lifightforcharity.org to learn more about how to participate in Fight for Charity.

To request an application to become a volunteer boxer email info@ lifightforcharity.org or call 877.240.7821.

Fifth-grade students in Colleen Malone’s and Joanna Zalewski’s classes at Connetquot Central School District’s Edward J. Bosti Elementary School recently welcomed Jeremy Dale, an impressive and inspirational young man, to talk to the students and staff members about the best-selling novel, “Wonder,” and his own life living with a craniofacial deformity.

“Wonder,” which was recently adapted into a movie, tells the story of a boy with a severe facial

deformity, who faces challenges as he begins to attend regular school as a fifth-grader.

“Like the main character in the book, Jeremy was born with facial differences,” said Mrs. Malone. “He and his mom shared his experiences about his many surgeries along with other details about his life. The students were particularly excited to hear that Jeremy had been invited to be on the set during the filming of ‘Wonder,’ and that he had the opportunity to meet

many of the actors at the premier screening in Los Angeles.”

Before concluding his visit, Jeremy also spent time answering students’ questions about his life, the book “Wonder,” and his thoughts on the movie.

At the end of the visit, Jeremy presented the students with Wonderthemed bookmarks. The students came away from this experience impressed

by Jeremy’s resilience, enthusiasm and positive attitude.

Floating to Conclusions Ronkonkoma Middle School eighth-grade students enrolled in Anthony Carbonaro and Alma Campanelli’s math, science and technology courses tested their creativity and engineering skills during a recent regatta boat race on January 25th at

Connetquot High School.

As part of a lesson on buoyancy, the young engineers spent weeks using scientific calculations to design and construct boats out of cardboard and duct tape in hopes of crossing the high school pool.

Although some students chose to

commandeer their boats in an individual fashion, they all worked in teams when creating their boats in class.

Despite the fact that not every boat was able to stay afloat during the race, the students enjoyed cheering one another to see which boat would make it across.

Employees Honored Well known for its groundbreaking safety initiatives, innovative employee training programs, cuttingedge technology, and community involvement, leading transportation provider Suffolk Transportation Service, Inc. reinforces its unwavering commitment to safety by honoring five employees each month one from each company department - with an award that recognizes their exemplary dedication to best safety practices in the workplace and/or on the road.

Instituted more than 10 years ago, this program recognizes school bus drivers, transit drivers, mechanics, driver assistants, and office staff who reflect the company’s mission to make safety their number one priority.

Suffolk Transportation Service works to maintain rigorous standards for their employees. Based on these high standards, award winners are selected for their outstanding safety records, as well as universal respect by peers and supervisors and a demonstration of professionalism in every aspect of their job.

In addition to rewarding accident-free safety records for bus drivers, the company fosters an emphasis on safety in the workplace with projects such as the “Walk Like a Penguin” program that encourages safe walking on the ice during the winter months.

“I feel truly appreciated that Suffolk Transportation Service takes the time to recognize employees who give 100%,” said awardwinner Rose Drexel, who

drives a large school bus for the Longwood Central School District.

“Working for a company that genuinely cares about their employees and motivates us to go the extra mile every day for our customers and co-workers makes all the difference in the world.”

“We are extremely proud of our outstanding employees and we are aware every day that their excellent job performance and dedication to safety are the most important ingredients to our success,” said Suffolk Transportation Chief Operations Officer Phil DiDomenico. “These awards are a small token of our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation.”

Each monthly award winner receives a generous gift card for dinner from the company.

(NAPSI)—Allergies are nothing to sneeze at but you can make your home more comfortable for people who have allergies and improve your indoor air quality—by cleaning in an often forgotten place.

Indoor air quality can be a big concern for many

families. After all, in a typical six-room home, up to 40 pounds of dust— including dangerous chemicals and other pollutants—is created annually through everyday living. These contaminants are pulled into the HVAC system and recirculated

as much as seven times a day. Over time, this leads to built-up contaminants in the ductwork. Since your heating and cooling system is the lungs of your home, you want to keep it clear.

Three Ways To Save (NAPSI)—Every year, some 35 million Americans move to a new home. If you’re ever among them, you should know that three simple steps can help you go a long way toward more savings and less stress: 1. Downsize. Donate, sell or toss anything you don’t love, need or use. Pay special attention to bulky, heavy stuff such as: • Books and magazines.

Are you really going to read them again?

Lots/Land/Acreage

offer better deals and more flexible dates with movers.

Also, get an early start the day of your move. Two of the best time-savers: • If you live in an apartment, reserve elevator access for moving day.

• Save a parking spot for the moving truck in front of your building.
