re-frame my own thinking

While I donated and distributed thousands of dollars of medical supplies, it was in connecting eye-to-eye, and heart-to-heart with these children, that I reveled, receiving their smiles of gratitude.

 Individuals with so little, grateful for the smallest of tokens, and yet hopeful for a promising future. These exact same youngsters plead with their mothers to devote the pittance of revenue they earn at two and 3 jobs on education, NOT food. They Realize that education is their only ticket to freedom, if there is a single.

 I've contributed monthly to Unitus (connected with Grameen Bank), for any year now, ever due to the fact I was introduced to Mohammad Yunus' courageous and heroic trail blazing in micro lending. My life's mission includes speaking to females everywhere to empower them about their cash, and encouraging us all to consider redistributing even $25/month to organizations that help ladies that have initiative and drive, and merely need a LOAN of capital--even a one time loan of $25.00--to boost them in the direction of their freedom and that of their households.

 I've touched and hugged those whom the world calls poor, but their spirits are surprisingly hopeful. It is actually that hope that I need to rekindle. I've employed that African experience to re-frame my own thinking, so that I am conscious and grateful for all of the abundance that I've, and for the immense possibilities I've, and I can assure you that this existing marketplace decline is miniscule by comparison for the worries of whole families literally starving to death!

 This Thanksgiving and vacation season may well I advocate that you just gift your self and your close friends with Mohammad's book Banker for the Poor? It was among the most powerful and riveting books I've read, in which he gives us hope that we are able to all take part in the freedom of our planet, one particular micro-loan at a time, freeing one spirit and loved ones at a time.
