Update!

Posted by: Circe

Heyyyyyyy friends! The Teenage Eco Warriors have good news!

Our loans on Kiva.org have been completely repaid, so we re-loaned our $250!

we loaned $25-50 to seven people all over the world:
-a mother in Tajikistan who raises cattle,
-a mother of three in Peru who is in clothing sales,
-a cafe owner in Kenya,
-a mother of three in Senegal who is in retail,
-a livestock raiser in Kenya,
-a woman who sells her crafts in Kenya (yay for crafts!)
-and a man in Lebenon who needed more tools for his work

There's more good news!

We're beginning to plan a fundraiser so we can put more money in our kiva account, and donate to other charities!

The fundraiser will include live music from local teen bands who want to help out and a silent auction with crafts we've made

It should be super hip-happenin'!!!

Their Mission

Displaying their typical cheekiness, sense of fun and zeal, these high school students friends since childhood, christened themselves The Teenage Eco Warriors and committed themselves to using their superpowers for good. They also committed to coerce their friends, by any means possible, to join them.

The concerns of The Teenage Eco Warriors are concerned about humanitarian and environmental issues worldwide. Their twofold mission is to identify critical environmental and humanitarian situations and to take action with engaging, effective volunteerism. Secondly, they seek to invoke power of the internet by blogging about their Teen activism. The TEW blog is a teen-written chronicle of their ideas, actions and outcomes that will serve as an interactive template to guide and inspire other small groups of like-minded teens to take action. They believe that their combined efforts will make a difference in the world.
This blog will chronicle all TEW projects as well as the efforts of other teens that have been inspired by their example, creating a forum for the exchange and innovation of teen activism ideas. Additionally the blog contains informative how-to’s and comedic craft tutorial videos.

It is their ambition to be continually inspired by their world to make a difference, and to inspire the world through their own teen brand of humanitarian and ecological activism while encouraging others to do the same.

The Teenage Eco Warrior founders are high school students in Austin, TX at LASA, The Liberal Arts and Science Academy, an urban public magnet school that educates socially responsible leaders, problem solvers, and thinkers through a nationally recognized, rigorous, innovative, interdisciplinary curriculum.
