The beginning of my journey.

I was asked by the hosts of this site to be a guest author. I have to tell you that I was absolutely honored.

The easiest way to describe my desire to support humanitarian causes is simple. It came down to following the examples of people who have already made the sacrifice. The act of being selfless. The act of empathy.

Human is human.

Strip away the material things… and what kind of person would I be?

I think I know… but now it’s time to prove it.

My contributions to this site will be from the ground up. I am armed with nothing but my ability to learn, and the desire to teach. I have no great insight to the world beyond my own doors, but starting today my world is going to change.

I believe that sharing my journey, and the insight I acquire may be the most generous contribution I can make to any humanitarian cause. I hope to teach the world that a “common” housewife, and mother of 4, can make a difference in the life of another person.

If my efforts can make a difference in just one person’s life… well then, this journey is more than worth it.

Please join me in the posts to come. I hope to inspire you, and cause you to act. I hope to stir a reaction from deep within your soul, that causes you to make a difference in the life of another human being.

My journey starts today.

Fighting For Those Who Can’t Fight For Themselves

I found a new organization to link to, ZOE Children’s homes. A well executed YouTube Video by Shanie Evans led me to their website. You can view the YouTube video here. The description on YouTube reads:

“WE CAN ALL do something to help… this VIDEO is my small contribution in bringing awareness to people that this is happening right under our noses… we CAN help stop it! For more info on how, go to www.zoechildrenshomes.org (this video is in no way affiliated with the mentioned organization) These are friends of mine who gave up everything to fight for our children so I support by donation & help spread the word…”

The ZOE Children’s homes were created to rescue children who are at risk of being sold into human slavery and/or child prostitution. In my mind, there is no difference. I don’t care about the religious affiliation of helping organizations. This one happens to be a Christian organization and it is one of the best presentations I’ve seen on the global problem of child trafficking and prostitution. PLEASE WATCH!
