“We want to tell other kids about the harm plastic straws are doing to marine life like sea turtles and how it is killing them. We think this is very sad and that others need to know about it. We hope to bring awareness about these innocent creatures. We think that the more people know about this, then the more people will not want to use plastic straws. If someone knows using a plastic straw could hurt an animal, maybe they would not want to use one anymore.” Leo, Age 9, #StandUpToStraws

We want to help the environment because the plastic straws that we are using every minute and every hour are putting a big impact on the environment itself, we want to use eco-friendly straws – the outcome we seek is to use these stores world-wide and heal from the harm we have caused.” Vedh, Age 9, #StandUpToStraws

“We know plastic straws pollute, but we know some people like to use straws and even need straws. We can use different types of straws instead that are biodegradable like plant based plastic straws that decompose, or bamboo straws. Bamboo straws are commonly used in some Eastern Countries, like India, where I am from.  Also, it is good because these straws will not pollute our oceans and these straws cannot harm sea animals. If we can convince others to stop using harmful plastic straws, soon there will be none in our oceans.” Amogh, Age 10, #StandUpToStraws

“We live in a beautiful world, which is also our home. Sadly, we are the ones destroying it. One way we can save it is by creating awareness of the harm plastic straws are causing. Plastic Straws are the top 10 most commonly found plastic in the ocean and at beaches. We want to create awareness about the dangers of plastic straws and help people find solutions. One way we will do this is by telling people why not to use plastic straws, and suggesting to use Bamboo straws, or any compostable straws. For these can help the environment because they are 100% Biodegradable. We will work hard to save the beautiful world we all know and love.”  Siddarth, age 11, #StandUpToStraws

Helping Ninjas delivered baskets of fresh, organic produce to the their schools eduacation building in Carmel.

Helping Ninjas wanted to share their harvest from a Carmel Micro Teen Grant Award for their Green Community, Garden and School outreach project, and to share what they have learned and how they have helped their community!

Students who helped with this deleivery were  elementary and middle aged students from Creekside Midddle and  College Wood Elementary, and a sbiling, a little helping ninja who is in pre-school- all of which helped to plant the seeds and to help care for the seedlings from start to finish!

Helping Ninjas left baskets of fresh, organic vegetables and herbs for the staff  that they had just picked freshly that  morning.

These students were fortunate and honored to meet Dr. Beresford, their new  SuperIndendant of Carmel Clay Schools.

Dr. Beresford  said he had never met ninjas before! The students were also privileged to have met Mrs. Anne Marie Woerner, Assistant Food Services Coordinator.  She invited the students back to the faculty break room where the students left the freshly picked organic produce in the cafe for Carmel Clay Education faculty and staff to enjoy! 

Helping Ninjas learned how to  help our community and the environment by learning how to grow vegetables and herbs from seed!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Students successfully were able to grow the following organic produce in both their home, Helping Ninjas Garden and at  the College Wood Cafeteria Plots lcoatd at the CCS Plots to Plates Community Organic Gardens. All efforts of this vegetation program were for the Green Community, Garden and School Outreach Project in whcih the students worked alongside Mrs. Susan Eva- McCord, CWE Cafe and Cafe Garden Manager at College Wood Elementary.

Helping Ninjas™ were fortunate to have had the opportunity to volunteer with the Cafe Patachou Foundation. Helping Ninjas helped to serve a nutritious, and delicious meal to students at the MLK Community Center in Indianapolis.  

©The Patachou Foundation serves nearly 1,000 meals each week and teaches 50 weekly hours of hands-on education to students at our partner schools. We couldn’t do this without tremendous support from our volunteers. The students we serve know they can depend on a nutritious, kid-friendly meal every day after school from The Patachou Foundation, even during holiday breaks. We ask our volunteers to commit to two or more volunteer days each week so students know they can depend on seeing the same friendly faces week after week. 

The Patachou Foundation serves after-school and daytime summer meals to nourish bodies, increase awareness introduce students to new ingredients and flavors.
