                                        I wish for a digital camera so I can send pics to my family.                I like ugly girl.

First, I want mutual co-operation between people to peoples- mutual co-operation and understanding help to make the country strong and peace. Though we are from different culture community but we should make the country peace by shearing our culture happiness and sorrow with each others.

World Lit teacher Nancy Henry, art teacher David Lane, Prevention/Intervention Specialist Tracy D. Flowers have opened up their hearts, after school hours and classrooms to Voices in the Treetops' arts-based programming.  A school club, No Place for Hate, once struggling to attract committed members, has, through after-school sessions with Paula Larke and Kim Nimoy, blossomed into a vision for an after-school coffee-house/open mic and gallery for performance and visual art.  Students from East Africa, Asia, the Middle East, and local Dekalb County natives are learning each others rhythms, customs, values and beliefs in a "hostility-free zone".   See www.noplaceforhate.org.

Healthy Haiku, a program of Dr. Imani Ma'at, has also been welcomed into the club at Freedom Middle School, thanks to networking efforts of the schools guidance department, Tracy D. Flowers, Mrs. Amie Hinton, and Voices in the Treetops' Paula Larke. The aim of Healthy Haiku at Freedom Middle School is to encourage positive relationships and transform conflict between culturally diverse students.
