Making ripples

I found ripple which provides clean water, food, education and money for those less fortunate. The following is directly from their site.

ripple works because it is a win for everybody

• ripplers (that's you) have access to a homepage which allows them to fight poverty with your daily searches or a simple click
• Advertisers gain effective advertising while contributing to our global community
• More funding helps the ripple charities continue their work

Together we can make a real impact on poverty in our world.

Volunteering Today

I am heading out this afternoon to help with an event to help the school children in our area. I have a friend who volunteers with one of the schools and she needs my assistance. I am always willing to help worthy projects and this should begin at home.

Volunteering? What needs to be done in our individual communities? Do your schools need someone to help the teachers in the classroom? Can you help at your animal shelter? Are there facilities where elder people are residing who have no family and need visitors? Given a little thought, there are many other areas where we can make a difference. One thing that is important here is that volunteering in the community is something that was happening long before President Barack Obama. He is just a good example of what can be accomplished as a community organizer. Together we can do great things.

What can you do to make a difference in your community?
