How much is the question?
I received an email yesterday from a good friend of mine who joined the Peace Corps last summer. Now Angel is a long time friend from college (has it really been that long?) and I was shocked to hear of her decision to abandon the luxuries of Western living and dedicate herself to helping others.
Imagine 2 years spent in Panama teaching language, business etiquette, marketing and technology among other subjects. Away from you closest family and friends, the void of select creature comforts that we Americans can sometimes take for granted.
Angel is a constant reminder in my life that the world is a global community that requires nurturing. The only way to change the world is to be an agent of change, a beacon of light, a pillar of strength. I challenge all who read this to donate a moment of your time to help someone in need, not monetarily, give of yourself, your time. For your time is much more precious than gold.
BTW – A warm thanks goes out to Stumpy-P for the mention this week. Your kindness is much appreciated!
