So we need poeple to come to the office and have some fun with the students that will come to our office and do anything we tell them to do.. We need to create a postive image of AIESEC, that is why we need YOU to come and join us in tourturing students by some crazy tasks!! If you can come on Sunday please let us know when and if you can pleaaaase come in the morning around 10-11!

Hola AIESEC Riga!

The time has come to actively spam all around the world about Faci apllication for ENERGY 2008. last night I went berserk and joined ~160 groups and ~40 events on facebook and spammed there. Unfortunately facebook doesn’t allow me to make posts anymore (guess i overdid it ^^ ).

Anyways, if you come across a Youtube video, facebook group, video, event, google video or anything else related to AIESEC and where potentioal Facies might be, please post the following text there:

Hey! Any AIESECers or alumnis in da house?!
Watch the Baltic regional confrence ENERGY 2008 promo and send it further to your friends

Hey everyone!

Tommorow, on thursday 21st August, 18:30 - Movie evening in AIESEC office! You can bring some videos if You want to. After the movie eve - afterparty in a place with really good tea and waterpipes!

See You there, don’t miss this!

Outstanding and inspirational! Hearing Sir Ken Robinson’s speech has made me think of how the school system where I live works or better yet, where is slows down and blocks. It made me contemplate, what and how I, as a special ed teacher and family therapist working with parents of children in mainstream schools, can do to promivate creativity and the potential every human being possesses in themselves.

I read an amazing advertisment -

one girl from Latvia spent last year in Guatemala working in the local kindergarten with 90 kids.

Now she has , in my opinion, brilliant idea - to improve the health of children she invites everyone to donate Ls 5 whitch will be used to buy 3 hens for each child.

You have to transfer ur money here: “Seiba — atbalsts Gvatemalas bÄ“rniem” (registration number 40008130292, “Hansabanka”, account number LV51HABA0551021859116, pleas sepcify the conent “Ziedojums — vistas”).

If you specify your adress, the photo of the kid you helped will be sent to you in October 2008.
