We always have a lot to learn. Los Angeles is learning about water conservation from Australia and by studying habitat, soil moisture, and climate variables young students learn about Science, Stewardship and Systems, time, space, satellites and more.
Nature photographer and director of Dew Drop Productions, Llc founded in Arkansas is a talented and generous artist who loves capturing our relationship to Nature and putting images into our hands to appreciate and enjoy.
Last year, she donated "Aloha from the Heart", a calendar of inspirational quotes and beautiful photos, to assist NEO, Inc. in serving at risk children by bridging the achievement gap providing arts and science programs in public schools.
As a result, we have been able to connect California to Oahu and Hilo, as a part of studies and research improving our Musical Linguistics pedagogy and our understanding that all life is connected to watersheds and oceans. Because of multiple and generous donations by Michael Lopez and others, we have been able to work together to link the Aloha Calendar 2014 to programs in the San Fernando Valley and to a new water photo project aimed at Academic Year 2015-2016.
This year, Neo, Inc.'s WaterBuddy will be working with new teachers and our Globe Elementary Partners exploring Climate Literacy and Coastal Stewardship. In 2014, we were able to study flora and fauna in Hawaii, music, dance, puppetry, and drumming because these elements are part of the 3rd grade STEM/STEAM curricula research begun in LAUSD under John Lietchy and continuing with JPL/NASA/NOAA/UCAR today.
Reflecting on Nature, inland and coastal, and on living powerfully, Dana has released two 2015 calendars this month, Cheeky Critters in the Land Down Under and Bugs and Blossoms Her business model is to provide calendars to nonprofits as a pay it forward way of generating operations or omdiscretionary income for charities and creating a line of calendars along the way that enlighten and inspire.
Her philanthropic model supports our nonprofit to raise required matched funds for upcoming grants. Your New Year's donation or gift is tax deductible and we have 500 of each calendar in stock and available to put in your home, gift shop, employee mailboxes as a present or just to buy, hang and appreciate.
We look forward to continuing to work with this talented artist planning to bring her work when its time to the BEA. You can order directly from Dana at dewdropproductions@gmail.com for distribution of "Creeky Critters" or "Bugs".
You can order calendars from us at $20.00 each to support a class scholarship for an at risk elementary or PK student or to help us to create reserves and jump funding to make New Education Options (NEO, Inc.) and its WaterBuddy Program grow, improve, and reproduce itself across the San Fernando Valley working in Supervisor District 3.
Because of Dana's skill and tenacity, we have been able to forge new possibilities into our routine. She is insightful, intuitive and very talented. She has been a staunch supporter and mentor to us and is looking for new projects. Do not hesitate or procrastinate, but fly to your check book and send us an order with payment to info@littledrip.org or hire her to create a project for you.
We look forward to having the Water Calendar in the first quarter. Happy New Year1
