SEED is a short film project directed by David B. Godin. David is an Award-Winning Writer & Director from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
The Story:
Growing up in a household where domestic abuse is rife, Samuel, a 12 year-old Puerto Rican boy cares for his budding plant with an affection that he’s not used to receiving at home. Between his efforts of restoring order in his household, he makes daily journeys to the local farmer’s market and library in an attempt to broaden his knowledge of the natural world. Along the way, he encounters a local farmer and son who he believes could become catalysts in aiding his dream to explore the countryside.
This project will only be funded if at least $6,500 is pledged by Monday Nov 7, 10:17pm EST.
To back this project ($1 minimum pledge), or for more information, see the website.

Gifts that Give Hope 4th Annual Alternative Gift Fair
Date: Sunday, November 20, 2011, 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM
Location: Farm and Home Center 1383 Arcadia Rd Lancaster PA 17601
Lancaster’s 4th annual Alternative Gift Fair is an opportunity to give back to the larger community and honor your loved ones at the same time. Instead of purchasing traditional gifts, participants honor their friends and family by making meaningful donations to local and global non-profits while improving the lives of others who are not on anyone’s gift list!
Participating in an alternative gift fair is a great way to make a difference this holiday season. At the fair, learn about the many local, national and international non-profit organizations making a difference in your community and world. Choose from a list of tangible gifts, such as a flock of chicks for a family in Haiti, food for an orphanage or life saving medicine and medical supplies. You will have an opportunity to choose donation items from thirty carefully selected participating non-profits.
Not only will you be able to make a big difference, but you can enjoy a wonderful blend of food and beverages from Rachel’s Creperie, Café Chocolate, Upohar Cuisine (Iraqui and Nepali), Rafiki Africa and Tortina Bakery.
Live items include jewelry from BEAD FOR LIFE, an organization that provides impoverished Ugandan women an opportunity to earn a living by making this beautiful jewelry out of colorful recycled paper. 100% of the proceeds from the sale go to BEAD FOR LIFE.
Trade As One will feature a selection of fairly traded items including Divine Chocolate, Delicious Peace Coffee, Olive Oil from Palestine and a variety of Tea. Trade As One aims to use sustainable business to break cycles of poverty and dependency in the developing world. We all have a conscience, and we want to give people the chance to use it when they shop.
Your Language Connection will also be providing free children’s activities for this event!

A day to celebrate ethnic diversity
City of Lancaster Mayor J. Richard Gray has proclaimed Wednesday, November 9, 2011 as the Day of Commitment to the elimination of racism and encouraged all citizens to join him in the event. On that day, groups of 3 people, each person from a different ethnic background, will meet for a meal in restaurants all over the county. They will commit to bridging the social divisions that separate us by getting to know
people from a diverse background they might never have met. Quite an experience. With this in mind, YWCA Lancaster invites you to join us in celebrating our Day of Commitment on Wednesday November 9, 2011 and, to paraphrase Martin Luther King, Jr., take the opportunity to
“Sit down together at the table of sisterhood and brotherhood”
“Meet in friendship and understanding”
“Stop the perpetuation of racism”
What’s involved? Well, YWCA Lancaster will put together groups of three diverse individuals who will share a meal – breakfast, lunch or dinner – at a restaurant of their choice in Lancaster County on November 9, 2011. You can become part of this celebration by downloading the brochure and completing the attached registration form and mailing, faxing or e-mailing it to YWCA Lancaster by October 13. We’ll let you know who will be joining you for your Day of Commitment meal, and your group coordinator will contact you to arrange a time and a place to meet.
For more information please contact the Racial Justice Coordinator Nick Miron at 717-393-1735 ext. 256
