This year, we expanded our reach internationally. Working with Hope International Ministries, we are planning to provide a travel journal template for future donors and missionaries to use to tell and share their story when traveling with Hope International around the globe fulfilling their mission of “taking help, hope and healing to a hurting humanity.”

Voice of a Generation CEO Virginia Dixon traveled to the Dominican Republic this past May and will again participate in the trip scheduled for 2012 when we plan to officially launch the journal program in conjunction with hope international.

Here are some pictures from the May trip.

Voice of a Generation (VOG) set sail again, joining “Fish for Life” Foundation on their August 6^th voyage.  Stay tuned for some more wonderful “fish story” books donated by VOG to help participants write and publish heir experiences.

Fish for Life is a non-profit organization located in Southern California with a charter to enhance the lives of special needs and discipline challenged individuals by inviting selected groups to enjoy a complimentary half day fishing trip on the sea. This program is designed to provide love and inspiration to a multitude of challenged people while teaching fishing skills and ministering to the value of life.

Several new young authors from the East San Diego Boys and Girls Lakeside Club were honored earlier this month when they were presented their published, hard-bound books they wrote and designed as part of a pilot program funded by Voice of a Generation Foundation. Nearly 25 boys and girls took part in the celebration ceremony where Voice of a Generation Foundation President Michael Beteag and CEO Virginia Dixon were on hand to congratulate the kids and staff who took part in the program. The Club will hold another story drive this fall with double the participants and expansion plans for story drives at all four clubs in that region. Thanks to Barnes and Noble for also sponsoring the project by donating gift cards to every child who participated.

VOG President Michael Beteag set sail with the Fish for Life’s latest fishing trip last Saturday, June 4. The trip has become an annual event for the Voice of a Generation Foundation to sponsor. The Foundation will again this year donate books for the 34 fishing trip participants to write about their “fish stories.” Coverage of the event was featured in the Orange County Register (click on link below).

Our program with the East San Diego Boys and Girls club is underway. Thirty kids from each club will be submitting creative writing stories and the top five will be published through Voice of a Generation.  Barnes and Noble is sponsoring the project by donating gift cards to every child who participates. The program is win-win for all three organizations who support and are committed to promoting literacy for children. 

Here are the photos from the recent "Fish for Life" voyage. The Voice of a Generation Foundation is providing books for all the kids who participated. We can't wait to read their "fish" stories.

Voiceofa generation.org (VOG) just completed a book on the history of the “Fish for Life” Foundation. Fish for Life is a non-profit organization located in Southern California with a charter to enhance the lives of special needs and discipline challenged individuals by inviting selected groups to enjoy a complimentary half day fishing trip on the sea. This program is designed to provide love and inspiration to a multitude of challenged people while teaching fishing skills and ministering to the value of life. The next voyage is scheduled for September 18. Our president, Virginia Dixon, will be on deck for the voyage and VOG will be providing books for each child (approximately 30) in attendance so they may each write their very own “fish story.”
