Lost Puppies of Beijing

Our G4 English class is learning how youth can make a difference in the world. We chose to help the homeless animals in our city, Beijing. We found a local nonprofit organization to support, Lost Puppies. All of the money will raise will be donated to Lost Puppies. This money will be used to fund veterinary costs for rescued animals. These costs can vary and usually include but are not limited to vaccinations, de-worming, and temporary housing. more

OMG (One More Generation)

The folks at the Ann Van Dyk Cheetah Center have a 54-hector parcel of land where for the past 40-years they have been helping ensure the survival of Cheetah's (including the rare King Cheetah), African Wild Dogs and many more species. The Centre was established in South Africa in 1971, in the past known as the De Wildt Cheetah Centre it has recently been changed to The Ann van Dyk Cheetah Centre as a tribute to the woman who has devoted her life to the survival of the cheetah species. Mission To ensure the long term survival of the Cheetah, African Wild Dog and other wild animals in general. Aims To breed rare and endangered species (which includes the cheetah and African wild dog). To support scientific investigations into all aspects of these species. To promote public awareness - particularly amongst the younger generation - of the pressing need for wildlife preservation: to afford visitors to the Centre of the opportunity of viewing endangered species such as the cheetah and African wild dog, in natural surroundings and at close quarters. To continue to play a role in conservation biology by helping to maintain adequate gene pools of rare and endangered species. To generate income to support existing and future breeding projects at the Centre. Where feasible, to re-establish endangered wildlife species into areas where they once occurred naturally. Today the Centre can look back with satisfaction on a job well done in ensuring the survival of Acinonyx jubatus - the cheetah, successfully breeding the king cheetah in captivity for the first time in the world. While the cheetah breeding project was the base from which Ann launched her conservation ethic, it soon widened to include other endangered animal species, such as the African wild dog, brown hyaena, servals, suni antelope, and riverine rabbits. Many of these projects such as the suni antelope and riverine rabbits once successfully running have been handed over to other institutions to continue with. more

Rhino Letter Writing Campaign

One More Generation (OMG) founders Olivia and Carter are working on a letter writing campaign where they are trying to get 1,000 kids from all over the world to send us letters addressed to the President of South Africa asking him to get more involved with stopping poaching of Rhino's for their horn. Unless the South African government quickly gets involved, the Rhino species is guaranteed to go extinct in our lifetime. This is an amazing opportunity to show kids (and adults) of all ages that they can make a difference and if successful, they can someday tell their kids that they were instrumental in saving this species from extinction. You can read more on our site at the link below. Our goal is to collect 1,000 letters and personally deliver them to the President of SA early next year. Carter and Olivia are already scheduling presentations at various schools when they are back in session and we are also looking to reach out to churches and any other community group where we can address a large audience. If you know of any organization who might be interested in receiving a copy of the presentation, please let us know and we can easily sent it to them. Dear President Zuma, (http://onemoregeneration.org/2012/07/20/dear-president-zuma/) Please let us know if you think you can help in any way. We also encourage you to send us your own letter because as you know, every voice counts. Thanks again for all your continued support, we look forward to hearing from you soon. Best regards from the entire OMG Team ;-) Jim more
