Nick Kristof quote

"Yet even if perfect solutions are elusive, progress is possible."



So...how can I respond to obstetric fisturas in Africa (due to young women with underdeveloped pelvises bearing children) or sex-trafficking around the world or locally?

-Use music events / CD's that are culturally relevant to targeted demographic groups to raise awareness and funds. ie... Hear the Cry

-Partner with like minded people to create solutions

-Read about social justice issues

-Give...time, talent, treasure

How can I give without becoming overwhelmed?
In this life we cannot do great things. We can only do small things with great love.
-Mother Theresa
Do a little bit each day as God opens doors in front of you/puts concerns on your heart.

In conclusion...what am I going to do today? tell someone about it.
