Hollywood Fringe or Bust!
Although we have registered for the Hollywood Fringe Festival, there are still a lot of things that go into producing a play. Things like rent, advertising, and a huge team of actors, directors, producers, etc. In order to accomplish our goals of producing an interactive children’s play, we need your help.
Our events in April were fantastic, but they didn’t cost us as much money as it did time and preparation. Venus and sponsors were opening their doors and products to us, but that isn’t quite the reality we are facing here. We chose to participate in the Fringe Family program in order to help provide interactive and educational programming options to families and kids!
We are looking to raise $2500 in order to make this production happen. That’s 100 people chipping in $25 each. Every donation helps us create the support required to put on a show in Los Angeles.
All donations through Chip In are tax deductible through our fabulous nonprofit umbrella Enrichment Works. Donating is also a great alternative if you can’t make a show. Remember: buying tickets are also a great way to support us and to help spread the word.

Blog for a Cause
Today is the 25th anniversary of Chernobyl. 25 years ago a horribly mismanaged disaster changed everything. Here are some people who are also talking about it and spreading awareness:
Being only 7 at the time I wasn’t able to comprehend the full extend of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986. My memory of the event is hazy but I certainly remember hearing the word ‘Chernobyl’ and ‘radioactive’ for the first time
Arfon Jones’s Personal Account
In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster that occurred on 26 April 1986, we invite you to visit Chernobyl Children International. They remind us not to forget what happened, and that we must not leave behind the children who continue to live with this terrible legacy.
Chernobyl Children International has been blogging about this topic for a long time. Check out their site for more information and ways to help!
We are still accepting blog submissions this week. Please email us the text or link!

Blog for a Cause
Next week is the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. Although Chernobyl has been talked about more in the past month with the disaster in Japan, many still do not know about the depth of the Chernobyl disaster. With awareness in mind, we are asking bloggers to Blog for a Cause. Help us spread awareness and information about the disaster by writing a blog post.
There are two ways you can participate:
The first is to submit a blog post to us directly for us to post here, on our blog. Email your post with your name and a link to your blog or website.
The second is for you to write a post for your own blog and email us the link. Every day we will post the roundup of links as well as post them on twitter. If you post on your blog please include a link to us!
Rules:
We reserve the right to post or not post any submissions. Since the project does not take a political stance on the disaster, any blogs that are overly political or pointed about nuclear energy policy may not be considered. If you have any questions, please email or comment!

April 3rd Fundraiser!
The Global Healing Event is a fundraising effort for Voices From Chornobyl to facilitate a broader dissemination of information and awareness on the precipice of the 25th anniversary of the nuclear tragedy. Santosha Space and Hypnotiq Solutions have joined forces in hosting the Global Healing Event, to bring relaxation and calm to a chaotic world by facilitating and providing practitioners of various modalities to offer a momentary reprieve into the realm of calm, and help raise awareness as well as funds to improve the lives of those still affected by this nuclear disaster.
Voices From Chornobyl (VFC) has partnered with the Chernobyl Children’s Project USA to raise awareness and money for the children whose health is still affected today. The VFC team is assembling more readings, an interactive children’s script, and expanding Chornobyl awareness events to include art exhibits and on-line outreach.

Poetry Submission- Peter Lach-Newinsky
I know our Call for Art is still going on, but I had to share this. Peter Lach-Newinsky sent in some of his amazing poetry with a lovely email attached. He is a published poet living on a small permaculture farm near Bundanoon, about 160 km south west of Sydney, Australia. Recent publications:The Post-Man Letters & Other Poems (Picaro Press 2010), On the Innocence of Clouds (Picaro Press Wagtail Series No. 104, 2011), The Knee Monologues & Other Poems (Picaro Press 2009). At the time of the incident he was living in Germany with a 3 year old son. He sent over a bunch of poems and I was so moved that couldn’t help but just share one a little early.
This is the first in The Chernobyl Series:
Drachenwind Dragonwind
die toten Murmeln der Augen dead marble eyes
fischverbissen scarmouth hanging on
der Narbenmund like a stubborn fish
über Krötenwolken ein Lichtei over toad clouds an egg of light
tönend im Wind tolling in the wind
es lebte ein Drache there once was a dragon
es lebte ein Drache there once was a dragon
es lebte ein Drache there once was a dragon
es lebte there once was
(30 June 1986)
