What do you do – and why do you do it?
Remember in High School; we all had to take “Extra Curricular’, non-core classes? I strongly believe life should be like that. Our focus should be shaved enough to let the light of other people’s lives shine in so we become more well-rounded and less selfish.
Feeding 3rd world countries?
Voters rights?
Women’s Rights
Human Rights
Save the Whales
Religious Freedom
Pro-Gay or Anti-Gay Rights

Ohhhhh boy Sonya do i ever have a story for you! I can relate in a sort of the same way but it involves a family of 3 our org has been helping for about 10 months now and things another org stated about us to this family. It was horrible and insulting……annnnd….they do not even know us. The kicker? WE hooked up with local Police to take them to this org and get them a place to sleep because we figured they would be better to help them due to their greater resources financially. Never again. Never again will we make that same mistake. It happened about a month ago and i still cant believe what went on.
