Dave Iba/ College Times Kaiizen has taken over 13,000 students to Baja, California to help underprivileged kids in Mexico. KAHZENfromAl Headed up by founder Josh Brazier, along with students and community volunteers, the group goes down to Mexico to bring supplies to orphanages. This non-profit organization has one simple goal in mind, "It's for the kids." While in Mexico this past month, volunteers were able to visit two orphanages and one elementary school. Sleeping on the beach the night before, volunteers were in charge of putting on a carnival which consisted of a huge game of twister, face painting, doughnut eating contests and ended up in a group water fight. Afterward, volunteers were able to visit the orphanages and play with the kids which brought smiles from ear to ear for each child. "One of the most rewarding parts about going is when you return on your second or third trip and one of the kids remembers your name. You feel you have gained some type of relationship with them and they look forward to seeing us again," UVSC student volunteer David Boyd said. On the last day before returning back to Provo, volunteers were able to go back to the school and perform service projects which included building cement ramps for wheelchair access to school classrooms and onto the soccer court. Volunteers also painted a mural, and cleaed up the school yard that was unkempt and somewhat dangerous for the kids. These trips are rewarding and enriching. Volunteers see a whole new world that is literally only a few hours away from their homes—to help others feel the same luxuries of having family and friends that some take for granted everyday. The next trip will be this Nov. 29 though Dec. 2. This trip is the Christmas trip and many volunteers are needed. If you are interested in going on the trip to Mexico or just want to help out, contact The Kaiizen Foundation at their e-mail kaiizen. foundation@gmail. com For making donations, the easiest way is to visit www.kaiizen.org where there is a paypal link in which donations can be made directly. For any other questions pertaining to Kaiizen, call (801) 7228173. Oct. 25. AGENCY ASSIST - K9 Officer Smith and Sgt. Sprague responded to a local business that had received a bomb threat.

The process of building the country is a continuous process, yet it begins with women as the crucial stepping off point. Berger's own organization, Creciendo Bien, focuses on educating women and enabling them with the proper tools to survive and be active members of society, giving them a better and safer way of life. At the end of her presentation, Boyd H. Bauer, director of the International Center at UVSC, presented Berger with an award as a token to her visit to the college and honor her involvement in humanitarian services in her country and the impact it has on the global community. There is some controversy over her visit to America due to the recent decision from Guatemala to no longer allow adoptions to Americans starting Jan. 1. This would even include adoptions in progress at that given time. After the event Berger commented on the topic saying that "adoptions will continue," but that she wants to make sure that the process is legal and ethical. Nearly 100 students, faculty and members of the community attended the presentation. Several dignitaries including Utah Lieutenant Governor Gary Herbert and Wilson Sorensen, president of UVSC for 37 years and namesake of the Sorensen Student Center, also attended. While in Utah Berger met with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' First Presidency, toured the Humanitarian Center and Welfare Square in Salt Lake City and made a stop at Brigham Young University. m TODQYI WEB SITE from Al material. The pages will then be turned over to their specific departments to be filled. Walker estimates there are between 4 to 6 references to UVSC on each Web page, including graphics, logos and words. All of these must be changed to reflect the school's new status. Faculty e-mail addresses will be given a "uvu. edu" suffix by sometime next year. Internal e-mail addresses, such as the LinkMail addresses the school uses to communicate with students, were changed during fall break. The new Web site already exists, though currently it is little more than a home page with a countdown ticker, which marks the time left until UVSC becomes a university, and links to pages at uvsc.edu.
