End of Day 17: $2585.00
Thanks to a very generous donation, the total is now $100.00 higher, and over $2500.00. Awesome! Thanks for the continued support!
Thanks also to those of you out in Logan, UT who are helping to get the word out about the fundraiser (and are participating too!) that is going on Monday through Thursday this week (March 5 through 8th). Pizza Pie Café (25 E 1400 N Logan, UT) will donate 25% of all food sales to this fundraiser! All you have to do is bring this flyer with you when you eat there (flyers are also available in the ENVS departmental office at Utah State). They even have gluten free!

Here in Madison there are discussions going on about neighborhood centers. The city is doing a study on the role of neighborhood centers and community needs and is hosting five meetings in March to receive public input. The Meadowood Neighborhood Association will be discussing Madison's Community Development Division's study on neighborhood centers tomorrow, Wednesday, March 7, 2012 at 7 p.m. as a part of their normal monthly board meeting. Meadowood neighbors are encouraged to attend. Input for residents living on the West side of Madison can be made at one of the five "Community Conversations" the city is holding. Thursday, March 22, 2012 from 6 to 7:00 p.m. at the Alicia Ashman Library.
So, what are the benefits of neighborhood centers? Depending on what types of "benefits" a person is interested in examining, it may be difficult to quantify. Granting agencies and donors usually want to see things like attendance numbers, or crime reduction, or some other quantifiable indicator of benefit. However, many larger benefits of neighborhood centers or community meeting spaces, may include things like strengthening social capital, which has been linked to overall health benefits and crime reduction (Alaimo et al. 2010), but "social capital" may be more difficult to quantify, than, say, number of people using a neighborhood center or exactly how much crime has been reduced as a result of the center being in an area.
Social cohesion that may result from having a neighborhood center or similar facility, has been shown in larger cities to be linked to overall quality of life (Friedman et al 2012). Further, the more a community's residents feel some sense of solidarity, the more a community is able to take on challenges (such as violence, and crime), and neighborhood centers can provide programming and space for residents to re-form these connections (Yan & Sin 2011).
Additionally, benefits may be more intrinsic, and include things like an increased self-esteem or self-worth. Or, benefits of neighborhood centers may have a number of indirect effects based on the types of services being offered. These indirect benefits may include increasing economic stability, or enhancing neighborhood quality (by reduction of crime rates), which can even provide benefit to non-participants of the center or of the specific programming being offered (Eamon et al. 2012).
Those are just a few, very general, potential benefits of neighborhood centers. There is a lot of literature out there on all of the direct, indirect, intrinsic, and extrinsic benefits. But, really, many of the benefits come out only from listening to the stories that participants or employees share about experiences. I will be curious to learn a little more about these neighborhood center "community conversation" meetings, and I hope to attend the meeting tomorrow.

As I have written a fair amount about Camarones, I figured it would be good to share some information about the Meadowood Neighborhood Center (MNC), and why that connection is important. I grew up in the Madison area, just down the road from where the MNC is now located. The MNC is a pilot neighborhood center that was opened 3 years ago as a collaboration with the City of Madison, and is managed by the Madison School and Community Recreation. The center itself is located on Madison's southwest side, right next to the Meadowridge Public Library.
View Larger Map
The goal of the MNC is to "is to provide a safe, supervised space for youth during the after school and evening hours. It also serves as a place for neighbors to socialize and a place for adult programming. The space is a focal point in the neighborhood to share resources for a better and stronger community."
The MNC has a variety of different services and programs for adults and children in the community. Most of the programs are free or very low-cost (and the programs that have a fee often have waivers or reductions to try and not exclude interested individuals). One of the more popular programs is an employment connections group and it occurs every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. This is a collaborative program between a variety of great services in Madison (including Joining Forces for Families, Urban League, Employment and Training, and the Meadowridge Library). These agencies and various volunteers come and assist with job searches, resume writing, computer work, job leads, and other useful services to individuals trying to secure employment.
Another popular service at the MNC for adults is the open computer lab. Every day adults can come in and use computers in the center for free. Volunteers also offer different computer classes depending upon the day, as well as assistance in job searches and resume writing.
For youth, the MNC offers both middle and high-school drop-in after-school programming, and elementary school programming. This fall, while finishing up my PhD, I was working part-time at the MNC. I was hired as an after-school program leader, but was there all day on (mostly) Mondays and Wednesdays assisting with clerical work as well as adult programming during the day, and then helping to lead youth programming in the afternoons. Most of the youth attending the MNC are Toki Middle School students (where I also attended middle school and is not far from the MNC). MNC serves over 100 middle and high school youth on any given semester, with the bulk of these youth coming from under served or disadvantaged families.
For the most part, news surrounding the Meadowood Neighborhood area has largely been due to negative activities. Drugs, violence, and theft reports have been increasing in recent years. The MNC has definitely been an important resource at allowing more positive activities (and news) to reach the area. Additionally, the efforts from the Meadowood Neighborhood Association (which holds its meetings at the MNC), are definitely a strong component to improving neighborhood dynamics.
The goals of the MNC and the population it serves are both similar and different to the proposed center in Ecuador. There are many parallels between the two communities (of Camarones and southwest Madison-Meadowood area), which make them perfect for a "sister" pairing (more on this in later posts). Of course, any number of areas would probably work just as well, but these two areas are areas that I know well, have lived in, and have had the opportunity to work with on various projects. Future goals for cross-cultural programming in these centers includes the ability to replicate the programing and activities in other interested after-school programs or neighborhood centers in other parts of Wisconsin and Ecuador, as well as other areas in the US or world.

End of Day 14: $2225.00
In the mail today came another $35.00 in donations from a couple of generous donors- thanks!! I also appreciate receiving the notes that often come with the donations! I'm still waiting to hear the total from the bowling event, but my friend did mention to me that apparently there was some friendly betting going on that resulted in one individual agreeing to matching the amount raised that night- awesome! Which, brings up the subject of matching. For those of you that have already donated, you may want to check with your employers to see if they do any kind of matching for donations to charity. Or for those of you that are still planning to donate or are planning to attend fundraising event you may want to consider looking into employee matching to make your donation go even further!
Several of my friends and family members have heard me talk at length about why community driven development projects are so important (and I also wrote a little bit about it in an earlier post). Unfortunately, there are a lot of development projects that do not have the support or backing of a community both here in the US and across the globe. Take, for example, disagreements over proposed development in Madison, Wisconsin's downtown State Street area. A proposal to tear down several buildings along the 100 block of State Street was met with opposition voiced by local individuals and business owners over preservation of historic buildings on this block, and then led to some compromises being sought for preserving these landmarks (2-1-12 Channel 3000, Moisman, 10-2-2011). Or, check out one of the top stories from the local paper in Madison today, which talks about plans for redeveloping apartments near campus, and three different interest groups have plans that do not align. In communities the size of Madison (according to 2010 U.S. census data, Madison's population was 233,209), any development project will meet some opposition (though even small communities are not immune to these kinds of disputes, of course). But, it's the resulting discussions, and compromises, and communication between the "two sides" that can determine the "success" of the development. Pick any city or community and you'll find many similar examples.
The more disparate the perspectives of the groups involved in the development discussions, the more difficult it may be to reach a consensus. Or, if one group is largely at a political or economic advantage over the other group, this may result in a lack of participation in discussions, and these groups choosing, instead, to use political or economic will to determine what "should" happen. In these instances, resentment, or worse, "bad development" could result. So, how does "good development" occur? Or what constitutes "good development"? Very generally, "good development" results when interested parties work together and when communication and understanding are paramount. The outcome may include increased resilience and a resulting reduction in vulnerability and increased amount of security and adaptability. A synergy can result where there is the potential for individuals involved to see things from a different perspective. Information sharing and joint decision-making may also be key (DePaoli 2011).
As I've mentioned before, bottom-up development movements (i.e. community driven and directed), are likely to be much more successful than those being imposed by individuals with little direct experience in the community (Altieri & Masera, 1993). These types of bottom-up, or participatory development approaches, can include communities and/or individuals joining up with individuals that may be considered "outside" of the community and still be successful. The difference is, however, that these "outsiders" aren't really true "outsiders", as they act as facilitators of the process and active participants in a cooperative process of development. Examples of less successful top-down approaches to development projects are easier to find when individuals outside of the community are directing and implementing the project without consideration for, or with, the local community.
I feel very strongly that these types of bottom-up, participatory development models can be applied to an endless number of communities, though the recipe for success will vary. Of course, each community will have its own unique needs, interests, opinions, and expertise to go on, which needs to be incorporated.
Please feel free to post a comment or email me thoughts on this or any other topic you would like discussed or have questions about.

End of Day 13: $2190.00
Thanks to a couple of generous donors, the total is now up another $175.00- thanks!! There will also be a modest amount added from the bowling night soon (they have to add up food and beverages too), so stay tuned. The group was a little smaller than my friend was hoping, but she had been quite ill and I am really happy people went and had a good time!!
I am hoping someone will be able to help bump the total to over $2200 tomorrow- now is the time to donate if you haven't already! Thanks for the continued support. Please continue to help however you can! Think $5 is too little? Think again! Every little bit helps get closer to the goal! Check out how you can donate too! Or, check out these upcoming fundraising events if you would like to help out by going to one (or more) of them. As always, please feel free to email me if you would like to help organize a fundraising event, have an idea, or just a question for me.
Thanks again for your support! Look for some more interesting posts over the weekend.

End of Day 12: $2015.00 + ?
Why the question mark? Well, as I type this there is a bowling fundraiser going on out in Hillsboro, Oregon and I am not sure how many people actually made it there. My friend who was helping to coordinate the event has been fairly sick this week, but she's a trooper and is still going to support the fundraising drive. Thanks to her for helping to organize, and thanks to those of you that took the time to go bowl for charity!!
I have posted the Zumbathon registration form online. Go here for a poster about the event and a link to the registration form, or go here to get the form directly. Also, be sure to check out the Facebook Event Page. I have been working on getting fun raffle prizes for the Zumbathon, in addition to the Zumba gear some of the instructors are donating, and think it is shaping up to be an exciting party!
So, who are some of the people that have been helping out with this fundraising drive? It is really hard to categorize as it is such a wonderfully diverse group of individuals from all over and from all walks of life. Of course, my close friends and family make up a large portion of the support thus far, but many individuals that have helped are strangers, who believe in, and support, the ideas of community-driven sustainable development . Thank you for your support, and your enthusiasm, and your positive thoughts!
I am still curious. What topics do you want to hear more about? For any of you that have not yet donated, is there something you want to learn more about (before you choose to donate or attend a fundraising event?). For those of you that have donated, what would you like to know? Feel free to comment on here, or send me an email.
Here is a list of a few topics I'm thinking of writing about over the next 18 days: sister neighborhood center connection, recipe sharing, river clean-up, oven construction, women's activities, teaching escapades, coffee processing, message from the President (I'm hoping the President will be able to write something that I can post and then translate soon), making chocolate, more on sustainable development, plants/animals in the area, more about Meadowood Neighorhood Center in Madison, more about living in Camarones. Others??
