Livelyup Muic For Solidarity Tour
Related to country: United States

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

As a first step towards implementing awareness-in-action for the Millennium Development Goals in the City of Danbury CT, the Western ct regional adult education center has agreed to join The Positive Vibrations Always Foundation in the signing of the first official Memorandum of Understanding that paragraphs the plans of the program.

This marks the beginning of a tremendous youth led movement, to implement and nurture the irradication of extreme poverty and hunger in our neighborhoods. With the efforts of all involved in the program and also in the community, students will be able to bring people of all races and religions to help run the biggest food drive in the history of its town, restock presently diminishing food banks and implement committees that will focus on preserving the effort initiated.

The Effort will be called the Livelyup Music for Solidarity tour, and it will run from March to September 2008. The plan is to encompass the Danbury school system, city center and the Ives concert Park. The students along with the help from PVANGO will be involved in releasing a broad amount of information to their peers, parents and other groups they associate with, to raise and hopefully reach the targeted goal of 100 tons of non-perishable foods.

Different groups associated within the project will also determine which food shelters are the most affected by a food shortage, and PVANGO with its team of volunteers will deliver the donations to the different locations.

PVANGO has been running these types of grass roots, community integrated programs successfully for over three years in Brazil, and although the success rate is impressive with 560 tons of non-perishable foods collected and distributed within the communities, it realized a existing need here in the founder’s home town of Danbury CT, USA, after seeing a report published by the CT food policy council, The University of CT and the Hartford food system, http://www.hartfordfood.org/pubs/cfs_connecticut.pdf, which after a series of 38 indicators it talks about Danbury being in the bottom 25% of the worst cities currently being affected by food insecurity in CT.

This alarming report triggered action from PVANGO to demonstrate how important it is for a community to come together to work for and tenably address issues that are directly impacting the neighborhoods of this town.

With great pleasure and admiration we thank our good friends at WERACE for working in support of the United Nations Millennium Goals but more importantly, show how easy it is to Save the World by Helping a Neighbor.
