A Different Voice

So this is what is happening, but instead of me telling you about it secondhand, I'll let you hear it straight from the "horse's mouth".

Voices Of Our Youth.

VOOY, yes we did do it last year and yes it was fun.

VOOY, Voices of Our Youth, is a way for us, middle schoolers, to express what we think or what we feel. This is an opportunity for parents or any adult to hear and see what is going on in our heads and how every single one of us has a different way of looking at the world and people.

To me VOOY means being able to say and present what I really believe in without people laughing at me. It’s a great way to express yourself because it doesn’t have to be a written paper, you can present you thoughts in any way you want. Anything creative is fine because that is expressing yourself.

VOOY also means helping children and people. The money that we make goes Para Los NiƱos and Virgen de Fatima orphanage to help those children who are not as fortunate as we are. They build new “casitas” and buy new playground equipment.
