Jamila Larson, LICSW Patty Mullahy-Fugere, Esq. Executive Director, Co-Founder Executive Director HCPP Washington Legal Clinic for the Homeless Homeless Children’s Playtime Project Annual Report 2012 Dear Friend of Children, It started as a simple discovery ten years ago. Children living in family homeless shelters in our nation’s capital do not have the opportunity to play. This simple, yet complex rite of childhood was being denied to thousands of children in the most powerful city on earth simply because of their family’s housing status. A few of my friends and I set up some playrooms in shelters, fi lled them with toys, books, and dedicated volunteers to protect their right to play. Over the last decade, something amazing happened. Homelessness among families exploded. And out of nowhere, thousands of volunteers and donors emerged to do something about it. These are people who believe that children learn and heal from trauma best through play and they deserve this opportunity right now. These powerful messengers have shared their time, talents and treasure with the Playtime Project and this Annual Report is dedicated to their commitment to make this vision a reality. With gratitude, Jamila Larson, LICSW Executive Director, Co-founder Homeless Children’s Playtime Project Annual Report 1 Our Mission is to nurture healthy child development and reduce the effects of trauma among children living in temporary housing programs in Washington DC. We believe that play is a human right that all children deserve, regardless of housing status. We seek to create a city that provides every opportunity for children in homeless families to succeed by ensuring consistent opportunities to play and learn, offering support services for families, and advocating for affordable housing and safe shelter. We set up playrooms where our trained and screened volunteers provide weekly activities, healthy snacks, and opportunities to play and learn for hundreds of children in fi ve emergency shelters and transitional housing programs in the District of Columbia. Playtime Project is an essential partner to DASH, providing a safe place for resident children to feel empowered, nurtured, and secure. The relationships developed with volunteers allows the kids to just be kids, not merely children fl eeing domestic violence. As the Children’s Program director, I highly value Playtime Project’s excellent volunteer training, developmentally appropriate activities, and strong commitment to the residents of DASH.

  • It Was a New Beginning. Everything Was Going On. Things Suddenly Became All New
    Comment This paper makes an attempt at essay structure, but development is weak. There is an awkwardness in sentence structure that tends to interrupt the flow. Paragraphs are underdeveloped as they are only one or two sentences. It was a new beginning. Everything was going on. Things suddenly became all new. It was a shock at first but then things started getting alright. Getting introduced to a new school was another new beginning, new teachers, different homework assignments and new relationships. Going to school was not so bad since you get to meet new people. New people usually means more good company, you meet people that like to do things that you yourself like to do. Getting education is important because that is what gives you power. You usually be more successful. Getting a job is a new beginning if you are getting your first job. You get to earn money and get working experience as well. Starting new activities such as kickboxing is very good since you are keeping yourself fit and not just sitting around doing nothing watching t.v. eating potato chips. Not only does it keep you fit it boosts your self- esteem and confidence. Comments This paper is an honest attempt at narrative. The awkward sentence structure interrupts the flow of the paper. Paragraphs are not logically constructed, and vocabulary is simplistic. I have played Lacrosse for 14 years. Nexst season I go to Junior A the most compelative livel of Lacrosse for my age and for Lacrosse in Canada there is more levels after junior, but junior is more belowe and more sot after.

    2014 was a unique year for pro-wrestling, one that will undoubtedly be viewed as historically significant in years to follow. Whether it is to be reflected upon positively or negatively is not only highly subjective, but also context-specific with major occurrences transpiring across the pro-wrestling world over the last 12 months, each with its own strong, and at times far reaching, consequences. The WWE launched its much awaited Network, New Japan continued to expand, CMLL booked lucha's biggest match in well over a decade, culminating in the country's first million dollar gate, TNA teetered more precariously on the brink of death than perhaps ever before, Daniel Bryan won the WWE's top prize, Dragon Gate and DDT saw continued success before their loyal niche audiences, Alberto Del Rio and CM Punk departed the WWE with one ending up in the most unexpected of places, a developing and divergent style produced some of the best indie matches of the year, the European scene flourished, the Shield disbanded, Batista returned, Daniel Bryan relinquished his championship, and the Undertaker's streak came to an unexpected and dramatic end. These are but some of the happenings, which made 2014 the year that it was, and it is in this year-book that we look to not only recap all of these events and more, but also contemplate their relevance to the greater pro-wrestling landscape, both for 2015 and beyond. It should be stated that this year-book was inspired by the DKP Annuals that were released in 2011 and 2012, in fact, it was the absence of a 2013 annual that inspired us to produce a year-book for 2014.

  • The Holy See
    The Holy See Ioannes Paulus PP. II DOMINUM ET VIVIFICANTEM On the Holy Spirit in the Life of the Church and the World INTRODUCTION Venerable Brothers, Beloved Sons and Daughters, Health and the Apostolic Blessing! 1. The Church professes her faith in the Holy Spirit as "the Lord, the giver of life." She professes this in the Creed which is called Nicene- Constantinopolitan from the name of the two Councils-of Nicaea (A.D. 325) and Constantinople (A.D. 381)-at which it was formulated or promulgated. It also contains the statement that the Holy Spirit "has spoken through the Prophets." These are words which the Church receives from the very source of her faith, Jesus Christ. In fact, according to the Gospel of John, the Holy Spirit is given to us with the new life, as Jesus foretells and promises on the great day of the Feast of Tabernacles: "If any one thirst let him come to me and drink. He who believeth in me as the scripture has said, 'Out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.'"1 And the Evangelist explains: "This he said about the Spirit, which those who believed in him were to receive."2 It is the same simile of water which Jesus uses in his conversation with the Samaritan woman, when he speaks of "a spring of water welling up to eternal life,"3 and in his conversation with Nicodemus when he speaks of the need for a new birth "of water and the Holy Spirit" in order to "enter the kingdom of God."4 The Church, therefore, instructed by the words of Christ, and drawing on the experience of 2 Pentecost and her own apostolic history, has proclaimed since the earliest centuries her faith in the Holy Spirit, as the giver of life, the one in whom the inscrutable Triune God communicates himself to human beings, constituting in them the source of eternal life.
