Ollie's Blog
Welcome to "Ollie's Blog"
Junior Global Citizens, welcome to Ollie's Blog! Here are my plans for it:
Talk about malnutrition and children and tell you how our campaign to "Spread the Peanut Paste Prescription!" is going.
Have lots of inspiring GBers (Guest Bloggers) talk about global citizenship and their projects and their ideas about malnutrition and children and how we can "Spread the Peanut Paste Prescription!"
Coming soon will be GBer, Geoffrey. Geoffrey is a logistician with MSF and is from France. He helped me a lot with my research in Niger. But he is now working in Sudan – so we might have to be patient.
Did you know that MSF named the treatment of acute (serious) malnutrition one of the top 10 most underreported humanitarian news stories?
Sarah, a publicist from Toronto, is also going GBer for us soon. Sarah knows a lot about how to talk to the media about our campaign. She is going to give us some tips.
My first GBer is Isaac. Isaac is in grade 6 and lives in Edmonton. He is a very involved junior global citizen: fundraising for international projects and working to build awareness for international issues. He and his classmates are working to raise $4000 for World Vision Canada.
They also did the readers' theatre video for the JGCC. And Isaac wrote a blog about it.
Isaac: YOU ROCK!

"Ollie" in the Uxbridge Public Library
The Uxbridge Public Library in Uxbridge, Ontario is the first library on the planet to have "Ollie's Field Journal" in their collection I hope lots of children in Uxbridge take it out of the library and read it. And send me their reviews: ollie@juniorglobalcitizen.org
