(August, 2007)

Janice Marshburn, Volunteer Coordinator of the Panhandle Crisis Center in Perryton, Texas, was kind enough to share these photos (including Yello Dyno holding her 8-month-old grandson) taken at a parade during their annual "Wheatheart of the Nation Celebration."

Janice stated, "Our parade was a smashing success. We all had a lot of fun and the Crisis Center won first place! Several parents took pictures of their children with Yello Dyno. It was a great day!"

Having taught the Yello Dyno curriculum to approximately 1,000 students in various elementary schools during the past 1-1/2 years, Janice is a dedicated advocate for child safety.

Yello Dyno Travels from North Carolina to Honduras
(July, 2007)

Kelly Barry (MSW, LCSW, GC-C) Special Projects Manager for The Family Center of Charlotte, North Carolina, was kind enough to send us her photos and commentary about a recent trip she took with Yello Dyno at her side:

"This past July, I and Yello Dyno took part in a trip with Torch Missions to Honduras, where we visited with many children who loved Yello Dyno. We were able to teach them to sing 'My Body's Mine' and passed out coloring sheets and stickers. ...In Hospital Escuela, this was the first time they saw a 3-foot yellow dinosaur puppet. While in the Oncology ward, the children's faces lit up with joy and excitement at meeting Yello Dyno."

Kelly also shared this information about the Yello Dyno program in her home state: "I just wanted to thank you again for all of the assistance you provided me ... to implement the Yello Dyno program... We presented to 10,302 in 86 schools and 511 classrooms. We went back to over 25% of the intitial schools for a follow-up test, and had a 91% recall/retention rate."
