jobs?

after seeing the zine I published my professors asked if they could hire me to teach the class how to publish news documents. Now I'm teaching on what would be my week off, but all worth it, to save up for Venezuela!
Today will be my last day of the quarter, hence I am up at 1:00am... I am very excited to be done and have a break soon!

zine






I created a zine with a group from my class, as an assignment - it's a documentation of Camp Quixote, a homeless tent city in Olympia. We all took photos and wrote some, I laid out the zine... the following are just a few pages out of 22...

Fundraiser - Secret Café


Some of my classmates and I organized a fundraiser for Saturday night - a "Secret Café" - or a night of selling food without a license. We dumpstered most of the food, and had the rest donated and used a local restaurant for the night to serve dinner by donation to Olympia. We made $1,000!!! The night was a blast, local bands played, the food was delicious, as two local chefs also donated their time, and put up with us trying to help them in the kitchen! The money is going in a scholarship fund which those of us who are going to venezuela may apply for.

Comida por la Gente - Food for the People


Tomorrow I am presenting part of my year long project to my class. My focus is on how politics control food and agriculture in Venezuela, as well as food sovereignty (a country growing all of its own food).
