Stamp Out Hunger!

Think of those who are hungry and think of Stamp Out Hunger! What is Stamp Out Hunger! ?

On 10th May 2008 (Saturday), Campbell Soup Company together with National Association of Letter Carrier (NALC) will Stamp Out Hunger! across America. This is the 16th year for this nation’s largest one-day food drive and has been collecting more than 836 million pounds of food since its inception in 1993.

How can we help? It is very simple. We just need to leave a sturdy bag containing non-perishable foods like rice, cereal, canned food, boxed food or pasta next to the mailbox before the time of regular mail delivery on 10th May 2008. Food will be collected and delivered to the food banks members of America’s Second Harvest.

Don’t forget to lend out a hand no matter how much we can afford. A small help means a lot for those who need it.

Mia Reading: The Bugaboo Bugs!

Jeriel loved books since he was a baby till now. Every night, he would make sure we read with him at least one to three books. Only recently we started to introduce to him computer which he was so excited and fascinated with interactive games and learning. Then, we started to hunt for other interesting software for him.

We found an interesting collection of Mia Reading on The Bugaboo Bugs. This collection was introduced by Kutoka. Kutoka which is based in Montreal and founded in 1995 has won over 150 national and international awards for their edutainment software. It is fun yet educational tool for children as young as in kindergarten. The targeted age group is for between five to nine year olds.
It is an interesting story about bugs’ invasion on Mia Mouse who lives in a charming Victorian house. Mia Mouse’s family has lived in that house for many generations. Mia Mouse needs help to get rid of the Bugaboos before she, her friends and family will be homeless. Have a look at the interesting casts here who will be with our kids in their adventure of fighting the bugs.

This program covers both reading and writing skills with four levels of difficulty. It contains a wide range of topics from recognizing words up to understanding the sentence structure and grammar. We believe that Jeriel will be able to have fun and also learn a lot through this interactive learning. We hope this will also help to keep his time occupy especially during weekend and also when the baby arrives in a few months time.
