Good news travels fast!

On July 24th, Jesse and Rachel were interviewed, for 55 minutes, by WVKR radio in Poughkeepsie, as part of the station's "Be The Change You Want to Be" series.

Here's how the radio station describes the One Voice for Laos Project on their website:

"One Voice for Laos is a volunteer organization of Hudson Valley teenagers and adults dedicated to helping the 600 children of the Deak Kum Pa Orphanage lead healthier and more productive lives.

Local teens Rachel Castellano and Jesse Ditkoff talk about the life-changing journey including 16 months of awareness building, fundraising, and the actual trip to Laos.

Having tasted the satisfaction of connecting with and making a meaningful contribution in the lives of these children, Rachel and Jesse return to the U.S. dedicated to making positive change."

Good news!

Cathy McNamara (co-owner of Woodstock's Mountain View Studio and publisher of Good Life -- a new, quarterly teen newspaper) has graciously invited One Voice/Teens for Change to write a column for their publication.

What a great way to get the word out -- and share what we are learning with thousands of other teens in the area.

Anyone want to write the column? (Kathy pays $40 per article!)
