"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day

RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.

Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle

Two letters

I am posting these two letters here so that they are contained within my children's childhood journal. Mim and Ve wrote letters to their Haitian Moms tonight. I scanned and emailed them to a friend who will get them to the girl's Haitian moms. I also sent them to M, the O director. There is some overlap between the letters because we discussed a little as to what they think their Haitian Mom's might want to know about them, and what they wanted for their Haitian Mom's to have. Ve had a more difficult time deciding, but it is hard for her to be detailed (that is unless she is lying, then very detailed(a dead give away LOL)), but Mim wrote her letter rather quickly. I hope we receive some response back from them as well. Their true names are written here as well, but since this blog is private I will hope that what is seen here remains here.
