I sent an email about this earlier before I understood the process.  Now I have details that make sense!
Please vote for Arcadia High school by liking the entry on the Corona Tools page.  This will help us get our tool request supported.  Only one winner each round and right now there are only two organizations who applied.
If you find the Corona Tools page on facebook they have a listing for the high school I teach at - Arcadia High school.  If you "like" that entry or write a comment under it (do both!) that counts as a vote.
Currently only one other organization has applied for the tool grant this run.  Voting ends on 12/1.  We are currently about 50 votes behind.  Please help out!  Our Food Forest is really an amazing place and it does magic turning kids on to composting and gardening.  Please take a few minutes to "like" our entry and help turn more kids on to gardening!  No one likes having crappy tools and this is one way to get some good quality tools that will work for years.

Thanks,

P.S. Spread the word!  Every "like" counts!
"There is one, and only one, solution, and we have almost no time to try it. We must turn all our resources to repairing the natural world,and train all our young people to help. They want to.
We need to give them this last chance to create forests, soils, clean waters, clean energies, secure communities,stable regions, and to know how to do it from hands-on experience"
"...the greatest change we need to make is from consumption to production, even if on a small scale, in our own gardens. If only 10% of us do this, there is enough for everyone.
Hence the futility of revolutionaries who have no gardens, who depend on the very system they attack, and who produce words and bullets, not food and shelter."
