THE PROJECT HAS ENDED AND THE GRAND TOTAL IS
704 HOURS!!!
Message from Lucy:



As many of you know, part of Lucy’s sentence for occupying the Shell oil rig was to do 120 hours of community service.  For her birthday, March 29, I thought we could show our solidarity with Lucy, the Taranaki 7 and Greenpeace by putting in our own 120 Hours helping in our communities around the world.  For anyone who wants to participate, send me an email (subject 120 Hours) with your name, state, country, service you did, date in March (from March 1 - 31, 2013) of the service and number of hours you put in.  I’ll keep a running tally at the top of this website as well as a page listing the emails with your info and we’ll see if we can hit our own 120 hours of community service by her birthday.  It can be helping the environment, neighbors, kids, elderly, animals, park cleanup, AIDS projects, food pantry, school volunteer, animal shelter, anti-bullying project -- anything at all that helps the people in your family, neighborhood, town, city, etc.  You folks are always so inventive.  I can't wait to see what you come up with.  What do you think?  Are you in?
