Capper Foundation Receives Avril Lavigne Grant

TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A popular singer will help some local children with disabilities truly rock.

Topeka's Easter Seals Capper Foundation learned Friday it's one of the first four grant recipients from the newly created Avril Lavigne Rockstar Club. It's a collaboration with the national Easter Seals organization to support recreational programs for children with disabilities.

Capper will use its grant for an art therapy camp. The first are planned for this fall. They'll take place for three hours on a Saturday and be staffed by Emporia State Univerity art therapy students and a licensed art therapist. Children will explore their individual creative skills and develop social skills.

“Some children with disabilities require round-the-clock supervision; this camp will provide a fun morning of learning and creating for these young Rock Stars, it will also provide a brief respite for their parents as well," Easter Seals Capper Foundation CEO Jim Leiker said. "We are excited to be one of four national affiliates selected to partner with Avril Lavigne, her foundation and Easter Seals – it speaks highly of our organization, Topeka, and the northeast Kansas community. Avril Lavigne, a young, talented artist, actively demonstrates her passion about sharing a message of inclusion - that kids and young people with disabilities want to laugh, have fun with their friends, and just fit in – like all of us!”

Other grant recipients are in Youngstown, Ohio; Boston, Massachusetts; and Glendale California

Tato Penggemar Bikin Avril Lavigne Kagum

VIVAnews - Penyanyi sekaligus penulis lagu berdarah Kanada, Avril Lavigne, menyatakan kekaguman kepada para penggemarnya yang mencintainya dengan cara mereka masing-masing. Salah satu perwujudan cinta itu adalah memiliki tato yang mirip dengannya.

Biduan yang terkenal lewat tembang "What the Hell" itu - yang juga memiliki tato di beberapa bagian tubuhnya - mengaku bahwa ia merasa janggal dengan cara orang membuktikan kecintaan kepadanya. Namun, di sisi lain, ia merasa tersanjung dengan perhatian itu.

"Banyak penggemar memiliki tato yang sama denganku. Tapi, saya juga banyak melihat gambar-gambar yang mirip dengan wajahku. Bukankah itu hal yang paling penting?" katanya seperti dinukil dari laman contactmusic.com.

"Seorang pria memiliki gambar wajahku dalam warna hitam dan putih di bahunya. Aneh, kan? Tapi keren. Saya jadi berpikir bahwa musikku telah mempengaruhi hidup mereka."

Bintang berusia 26 tahun itu menyatakan bahwa ia masih sering mendengarkan lagu-lagunya lewat radio.

"Setiap kali saya mendengar laguku diputar di radio, saya takkan mematikannya," Katanya.

Sahabat (tak) Selamanya

Aku tak tahu apa aku berbuat salah. Aku tak tahu kekuranganku apa. harusnya dia bilang terus terang. Aku selalu sendirian. Sampai terkadang kepalaku berdenyut dan menangis secara tiba-tiba. Apa dia tidak menyadari keberadaanku? Apa dia hanya benar-benar tak ingin peduli? Aku tak mengerti. Aku tak bisa berpura-pura ini baik-baik saja. Karena mentalku sudah pasti tak baik-baik saja. Kata orang pacar bisa putus dan sahabat bisa abadi selamanya, tak ada kata putus untuk sahabat. Nah, sekarang aku malah berharap punya pacar. Lebih baik diputusin pacar dari pada tidak dipedulikan oleh sahabat seperti ini.

Bagaimana caranya agar dia mengerti? Aku bingung, sudah kukerahkan yang ku bisa. Bicara langsung, melalui teman yang lain, melalui orang, lewat facebook... Apa dia sengaja menutup mata dan telinga? Di mana pun kalian berada, jangan terlalu menyayangi sahabat kalian, karena sahabat itu adalah manusia. Dan manusia sangat jahat. Kau bahkan akan lebih tersakiti dari pada patah hati karena putus cinta...
