Book Description
Very rarely in education, does a person find a group of students so passionate about a project that they touch lives all over the world? How many times have students stayed with something for over 11 years and were even there at the conclusion? Our story offers hope, determination and the ability to see that children can truly change the world. There are many stories out there about the Holocaust, but none that took over 11 years to complete. Our Bandage Project touched lives in ALL 50 states and in 23 countries! Our story even touched the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam. My students received visits from the Anne Frank staff and were invited to share their story at museums and schools across the country. What also makes out story unique, is that our students are 100% high poverty mostly minority students. These children had never even heard of the Holocaust before. No one expected this project to be successful in the beginning except a group of kids and their teacher. This story begins with best friends of different races and ends with children of all races joining together to help its completion. Our story gave others courage to stand up and most of all, our story helped heal lives of those personally affected by the Holocaust. Our story gives those children who never were able to live to tell their story, a chance to be remembered. Our book begs to be shared with the world along with the Bandage Project container filled with the over 1.5 million bandages with names to honor all of those innocent children murdered during the Holocaust.

Book Description
This book puts forth a call to engagement for educators at all levels of education and in all subject areas, with a focus on language education. Through using a grounded theory approach, it features semi-structured interviews, in a qualitative approach, with educators who embody community engaged education. Each chapter encompasses a case study that examines the interviewee's motivations, strategies, successes and failures. This book presents a local theory of community-engaged teachers and researchers to assist educators in developing as a community-engaged teacher or researcher. It asks and attempts to answer critical questions concerning the initial induction into community engagement, the maintenance of energy, commitment, and motivation, and the role of support networks. Through these, this book examines what is needed to sustain such an identity, and support campaigns of action or individual engagement over both the short and long term.

Book Description
Drawing on more than two years of participant observation in the American Midwest and in Madagascar among Lutheran clinicians, volunteer laborers, healers, evangelists, and former missionaries, Conversionary Sites investigates the role of religion in the globalization of medicine. Based on immersive research of a transnational Christian medical aid program, Britt Halvorson tells the story of a thirty-year-old initiative that aimed to professionalize and modernize colonial-era evangelism. Creatively blending perspectives on humanitarianism, global medicine, and the anthropology of Christianity, she argues that the cultural spaces created by these programs operate as multistranded “conversionary sites,” where questions of global inequality, transnational religious fellowship, and postcolonial cultural and economic forces are negotiated. A nuanced critique of the ambivalent relationships among religion, capitalism, and humanitarian aid, Conversionary Sites draws important connections between religion and science, capitalism and charity, and the US and the Global South.

Book Description
Did you know Band-Aids were invented by accident?! And that they weren't mass-produced until the Boy Scouts gave their seal of approval? 1920s cotton buyer Earle Dickson worked for Johnson & Johnson and had a klutzy wife who often cut herself. The son of a doctor, Earle set out to create an easier way for her to bandage her injuries. Band-Aids were born, but Earle's bosses at the pharmaceutical giant weren't convinced, and it wasn't until the Boy Scouts of America tested Earle's prototype that this ubiquitous household staple was made available to the public. Soon Band-Aids were selling like hotcakes, and the rest is boo-boo history. "Appealingly designed and illustrated, an engaging, fun story" — Kirkus Reviews STARRED REVIEW
