Project Coordinator
Thoughts for the Days
Did you know that each morning a pinkie shares a thought with everyone on our staff team? That can be a piece of advice, a rap song, a moral story, an inspirational quote, a short video, or anything else you can think about.
Now for the first time, we are gathering together some of these tremendous thoughts to share with the world and give the people outside the staff room a sneak glimpse into the pinkies’ hearts and minds.
We are proudly presenting the idea of Thoughts for the Days, and are looking for a long-distance helper (previously known as a remote volunteer) to coordinate this thoughtful project, and make it a reality.
Or a book.
A bestseller.
This is an awesome remote volunteering opportunity.

Important information
Flamingoes aren’t born pink
They actually come into the world with grey-white feathers and only develop a pinkish hue after starting a diet of brine shrimp and blue-green algae.
