BRINGING GENERATIONS TOGETHER
Jun. 02, 2015
Bessie's Hope (formerly Rainbow Bridge) began with a spiritual vision received by one of the co-founders. She heard a distinct voice repeating, "Bring them together, the young and the old", and she saw what was to become the work of Bessie's Hope. Inspired by her grandmother's tragic nursing home experience and by the loneliness she observed in nursing homes, Linda Holloway, and co-founders, Sharron Brandrup and Marge Utne, worked to create an organization that would bring community awareness and participation into nursing homes. Sharron and Linda began taking groups of children to visit nursing home residents in 1989. Evidence of the life-transforming benefit to both populations led to the formation of a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in 1993. In the summer of 1994, Linda's and Sharron's original musical entitled "Rainbow Bridge, an Intergenerational Musical" was produced at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. It attracted tremendous media attention, both locally and nationally. In the fall of 1994, the Rainbow Bridge volunteer programs were officially begun. |

Jun. 23, 2015
Katie McVey, grand daughter of long-time Rotarian Sam Langstaff, has attended Rotary's RYLA and Young RYLA leadership programs and now is a student at William & Mary.

These stoves are designed to efficiently burn fuel, usually wood, thereby reducing harmful respiratory problems often associated with cooking fires in confined spaces. As Katie describes her work: "I’m studying Finance with a concentration in Management and Organizational Leadership in the Mason School of Business. I’ve been involved with social venture in the past where I’ve gone abroad to Ecuador, South Africa, Mozambique, and Uganda. This semester I’m enrolled in a Social Entrepreneurship course learning the basics of how to organize a social venture. Through the course my professor is taking a select group of students to the Dominican Republic this summer." "In the Dominican we are working with nonprofit organizations as well as the governmental organization to complete community evaluations of different areas. This is to ensure that different community needs are met. From there we will be working hand in hand with specific nonprofits to create a social venture that could potentially be successful business models. Some examples from past years have been water filtration, fair-trade coffee, and artisans’ crafts sold in the United States. On one leg of our trip we will be completing community assessments while also building rocket stoves. Rocket stoves are easy to install and can provide cleaning burning fuel for multiple families. Our goal is to build enough stoves this summer to fully support 12 families." This promises to be a very informative and interesting program so be sure to attend. |
