Bridges of Respect

Fall semester is upon us and we have a swarm of presentation requests due to a mass email we put out at the beginning of the month. We completed 20 presentations just in Oct! There were likely over a dozen students that expressed out load that they were trying vegetarianism and I heard an interesting story. A girl, one of three who received a piece of literature before going into the circus last weekend, said she rode the elephants and it helped her "understand why the elephants had bruises all over them". The conversation came up when I showed the class an elephant hook.

If you would like to shadow, with no obligation to learn and practice one of your own, I could use the help handing out items to the students and you could get a first hand look at the presentations.

Here are some dates we have scheduled:

  • Nov 13th, Ethics & Environment - four times from 8:10-11:35 at Robbinsdale Cooper High.

  • Nov 18th, Circle Of Compassion - once from 11-11:50 at Century College for an Ethics class covering Animal Rights then, again...

  • Nov 19th, Circle Of Compassion - twice, 7:45-9 and 2:15-3:30 at Century College (White Bear Lake).

  • Nov 23rd, Our Food Our World - six times from 8-2:40 at Minnetonka High.

  • Nov 24th, Our Food Our World - four times from 8:10-11:35 at Robbinsdale Cooper High.

  • Dec 8th, Our Food Our World - two times from 11:11-2:00 at Central High (Saint Paul at 94 & Lexington).

  • Dec 9th, Circle of Compassion/Our Food Our World hybrid - 9:24-11:18 at Fridly High.
