Tom provided a Save the Whales presentation to every one of Sprecklels Elementary's 2nd grade classes. The kids really enjoyed and learned a lot from the presentations.
Tom was perfectly on time and brought all kinds of media for the presentation.

Our experience with Save the Whales has been fantastic. The participants of our Hope Services Community Membership and Media Program enjoy the work applying decals to the storm drains. The training provided by Save the Whales was fun and informative. The particiapnts all felt good about doing something to help their community and the environment. The coordination with Save the Whales was smooth and they provided us with all the support we needed.

I work for a non-profit working in collaboration with Save the Whales. We support their mission by gluing decals to the sidewalks at storm drains. The decals remind the community that the storm drains flow directly to our ocean.
I greatly appreciate this non-profit because they are highly involved with their community, focused on collaboration, dedicated to their mission and solutions to environmental issues and expand their message through the use of education.

Save The Whales headed by Maris 1 and 2 Sidenstecker is using my song Make A Friend Out Of Me to bring awareness to the fight against whale slaughter. I have found their organisation to be reputable and of great impact in the war on whale slaughter and conservation. It is imperative they are given full support from the Government of the United Staes of America and their community. Sincerely Vinny Pop Australian artist musician singer

I love volunteering with Save the Whales! The storm drain stenciling really helps to get the message out to people that our storm drains are really important. And if we keep our storm drains clean we can keep our oceans and waterways clean too. Their educational outreach programs are great too! I'm doing my capstone project with Save the Whales and one of their programs. The students seem to really enjoy the different programs that we have to offer. I would recommend everyone to volunteer with Save the Whales.

One of the service learning activities I've been a part of was participating as the leader for storm drain stenciling in Pacific Grove. A group of about 20 middle school children from the Monterey Peninsula were divided into 4 groups in order to go stencil certain sections of the city of PG. I was in charge of one of these groups along with other adult mentors. This was in collaboration with the Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) from which these kids were associated with through a club membership. I felt the most successful part of this experience was the public education and public involvement components of this program. I felt these children have an increased awareness and understanding of storm water pollution prevention issues through participating in this event. Educating an audience, specifically children, enhanced my understanding of opportunities for promoting environmental and ecological justice in the real world.

Working with Save the Whales' Maris Sidenstecker for the last 4 years on a series of ecologically educational videos. Maris has always been very supportive of our projects, and has pitched in to help everywhere she could. We've been working with High School students on a mentoring program, and we've succeeded in getting our videos produced and played on TV, as well as preparing our students for University study. Save the Whales has helped all those kids learn about video and radio, and used that knowledge to spread the word about preserving our oceans and the whales.
