As the weather continues to get warmer and warmer it seems harder to concentrate on some things. But in the warmth we look for any excuse to be outside. This can mean accomplishing a lot and making a difference in this world. Examples of this were certainly seen during Earth Day celebrated yesterday. I drove down Cherry Street, later in the evening and saw the cardboard house that Habitat for Humanity group built to stay in for the evening. The next morning as I saw the ‘house’ again, I was reminded again that there are so many people in our world that don’t have homes to go to at night. I spent the day and the next sorting through recycling stuff at CoffeeLoft.org House and making trips to the recycle center. Thinking I wish more people would take the few extra minutes in a day to walk to the recycling bin instead of the trash. I was impressed by a young woman who stood up in one of my classes and spoke passionately about protesting the building of a hog farm. Everywhere we turn people are trying to make a difference in the world. So please do your part! Have fun with it and take joy in the differences one person can make.
CoffeeLoft.org has an event coming up where you can make a difference.
Support the Orphanage!
When a group of our students went to Mexico on a Mission Trip we were able to visit an Orphanage. We were all very moved be the experience and wanted to do something for these kids. So, on May 3rd we will be having a Garage Sale to raise money to send clothes to the kids and the rest of the money will go to the Orphanage. You can help by bringing anything you would like to donate to sell or if you want to help out with set up or hang out to sell stuff the day of the sale. Any of your help and donations would be much appreciated! Help the children in Mexico!
It is time for us all to stand and cheer for the doer, the achiever - the one who recognizes the challenge and does something about it. ~Vincent Lombardi
