SUMMARY:GiveBIG for Education
DESCRIPTION:ARCS is proud to participate again in the GiveBIG campaign\, which supports WA-based non-profit organizations. This year we are raising funds to give more students the opportunity to learn about the Romanian culture and language. With your support we would like to offer more scholarships to students. Our teaching methods are based on the core principles of Heritage Language Education that nourish bilingualism and address holisitically the bi-cultural identity of our students through project-based activities\, play\, authentic sources\, critical thinking\, and meaningful interactions with their families and communities. Our students gain pride and confidence as heritage language speakers and learners of Romanian\, while developing a global understanding of the world. We also offer language classes for non-heritage speakers\, especially adults. Many of our high school students end up receiving the Global Seal of Biliteracy for their linguistic competency! Our comprehensive course catalog\, together with our skilled instructors\,  provide students with the necessary tools to reach their goals. GiveBIG takes place May 6-7\, with early giving starting on April 22!  Please mark your calendars and help us spread the gift of language!

It is an exercise in historical memory which demonstrates how to maintain humanity in impossible conditions. The story centers on Ana Baljinschi as she recounts her life to her great grand-daughter. Ana was eleven when the Soviet soldiers sent her and her mother from Bucovina\, Romania\, to Kazakhstan. She recounts surviving the three week long journey via train. The trip is a harsh\, humiliating one\, but in spite of the closeness of death\, life persists in the boxcar in the form of story-telling\, riddles\, ritual\, and even humor. This survival continues in the harsh steppe of Kazakhstan through faith\, love\, and generosity\, and returns to her what she lost at the end of the novel. Her story\, told with unflinching candor\, is a chronicle of a life lived during a time of great political and national change\, a story of an existence defined and curtailed by lines drawn on a map. \n        Read More\n    \n	 \n    \n        Too Great a Sky\, scris de Liliana Corobca\, tradus de Monica Cure și publicat de Seven Stories Press\, povestește deportarea românilor din Bucovina de către sovietici în timpul celui de-al Doilea Război Mondial.

Este un exercițiu de memorie istorică care arată cum se poate păstra umanitatea în condiții imposibile. Povestea o are în centru pe Ana Baljinschi\, care își povestește viața strănepoatei sale. Ana avea unsprezece ani când soldații sovietici au trimis-o pe ea și pe mama ei din Bucovina\, România\, în Kazahstan. Ea povestește cum a supraviețuit călătoriei de trei săptămâni cu trenul. Drumul a fost dur și umilitor\, dar\, în ciuda apropierii morții\, viața persistă în vagonul de marfă sub forma poveștilor\, ghicitorilor\, ritualurilor și chiar a umorului. Această supraviețuire continuă în stepa aspră a Kazahstanului prin credință\, iubire și generozitate\, aducând-o la sfârșitul romanului înapoi la ceea ce a pierdut. Povestea ei\, spusă cu o sinceritate necruțătoare\, este o cronică a unei vieți trăite într-o perioadă de mari schimbări politice și naționale\, o poveste despre o existență definită și limitată de liniile trasate pe hartă. \n        Read More\n    \n	 \n      \n        The anthology of Romanian poetry Cigarettes Until Tomorrow was published by Two Line Press as part of their biannual Calico Series\, which offers the voices of previously inaccessible\, highly innovative writers from around the world today.
