Saving Rhinos, One Student At A Time
Olivia and Carter were recently invited to come and present to the students at Northwood Elementary School. School Principal Dr. Ritu Ahuja, and Asst. Principal Ms. Nikol Boyd, invited the kids to come and share their story about how they started OMG and about their latest initiative the Rhino Letter Writing Campaign.
We Are Halfway There!!!
Olivia and Carter have been working with the US State Department and in particular with the Wildlife Trafficking Department on ways we can get our Community Rhino Presentation into more schools across the globe so we can help educate students about the issue of poaching and the severity of what is happening to Rhinos.
Plastic Planet in english by Werner Boote
This documentary covers a lot of information but is well worth the time to view it. Much of what is covered has been reported in part by other organizations but this group did a good job trying to piece the parts of the puzzle together in a way that makes sense:
OMG Pumpkin Carving Contest
That means that over 473 million pounds of individually wrapped candy is sold for Halloween and most is wrapped in some sort of plastic that will never be recycled
See the Strangest Animal on the Planet – The Pacific Barreleye!
2,000 feet deep in the Pacific ocean lurks this otherworldly creature inside whose bizarre transparent head, more colorfully described as a “cockpit” by some scientists, is a set of extremely sensitive tubular eyes, from which it derives its name.
What a Wonderful World
The images are amazing, the narration by Sir David Attenborough is as always perfect and the music “What A Wonderful World” (best performed in my opinion by Ray Charles) if fitting.
Iriomote Cat – Living Fossils
The Iriomote Cat is a subspecies the Leopard Cat that lives only on the island of Iriomote, a little island off the coast of Japan. The species was first discovered in 1967. Although its relative, the Leopard Cat, is not on the endangered species list (yet), the Iriomote Cat is critically endangered; there being less than 200 in the wild making it one of the worlds rarest and most endangered species.
OMG Founders Present at the Shandon United Methodist Church
Olivia and Carter were invited to speak at Shandon UMC in Columbia SC over the weekend and we had an amazing group of almost 200 church members join our presentation. The kids delivered a message to the congregation about the need for everyone to get involved with caring for ALL of God’s creations.
