*Just another quick note, I caught an episode of "Wide Angle" on PBS last night from their "Time for School Series" and it floored me. FLOORED ME. It covers a group of seven kids from around the globe that they followed for 12 years. I defy you to watch the story of Joab from Kenya and not feel the impact and magnitude of not only how this young man has risen to face the obstacles in his life (and the siblings he is raising alone) but also how we really have it this country.
If you are an educator, Citizen of the World, or just a really cool human being, I am encouraging you to watch this program and then to go and support one of the organizations who are devoted to providing water, education, and shelter to some of the children struggling out there. Personally, I picked Unicef, but there are a list of groups who have a more direct impact on the kids featured in the series found here.
Maybe you have a little extra money in your Paypal account, or maybe you can skip out on that cafe mocha latte for a few weeks, or maybe you can hold off on buying yet another pair of shoes. You can do it. We all can do it.
