When i wrote this piece, it was a period of time where within a span of a few days, one disaster after the other had occurred. One of them being:
CHILE EARTHQUAKE 2010
i cannot sit still . i'll use my voice, my words, my actions to make a difference. some people think loving the way i love is a choice..no it is an assignment. it is in my natural and spiritual DNA, my destiny, to be a part of changing the world for the better; to be an extension of Christ's love for us. Through my acts I hope to help bring a dying world to the only answer of hope. LOVE. and, God is LOVE. Everything He is is love. Let us all try to be love, to show love, because when one soul hurts, we all do. 99% of our DNA is the same, therefore we are one in the same. we are family. its time for us to act as such!
this piece Mommy and Daddy are sad was written before I went to Haiti with an AMAZING and wonderful charity called Haiti Charity Hope Foundation that has been working for years to impact the lives of souls in impoverished Haiti (facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7807578076, website:http://www.hchf.org) on behalf of a statewide project I co founded called Unity in Action (i'll post more info on that project at the end of the blog). to say it changed my life would be an understatement. it changed me spiritually, and opened my eyes; it fed the hunger in my soul to make a change.
There are many more disasters, to name a few:
FLOOD IN PAKISTAN
MUDSLIDE IN CHINA
MISFORTUNE OF CIVIL WARS AND UNREST, CHILD SOLDIERS IN UGANDA, SIERRA LEONE, SUDAN AND OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES
the only thing that CAN make a change is a willing heart, willing hands, and a faith in God.
We tend to be interested when the news makes a phenomenon of disaster, then our interest dies down. we have to be active, we have to want to know because the media won't always tell us the truth. we have to keep pushing, keep moving, keep praying. Find a way to get involved, in anyway, in a cause. wherever you live, who ever you are, the worlds issues are our issues.
ON UNITY IN ACTION:
NOTE: due to the schedules of the facilitators and certain extenuating circumstances, UIA is on a temporary break, but still looking for members and volunteers, and assisting other programs with aid and networking opportunities.
Unity in Action is a state-wide project initiated by two 19 year old college students, Phredrick Jean-Baptiste of Pawtucket and Gabrielle Samantha Gibson of Providence. Rhode IslandTeen Institute (RITI) of Initiatives for Human Development (IHD,which is based in Cranston, RI http://www.ihdri.org/) is their "parent/partner" organization. The goal of Unity in Action is to connect organizations, charities, churches, community programs,and all those who want to help in bettering the lives of others in order to make a massive impact on the prevalent focal issue We are working with two 501(c) 3 charities (primarily Haiti Charity Hope, http://www.hchf.org/), the Haitian Family Organization, associations from Community College of Rhode Island, University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, Ralph J. Holden Community Center, among many other groups who are all working towards relief efforts for the victims of Haiti. In addition to the non-profits, we will also be donating to Partners in Health (http://www.standwithhaiti.org/haiti, www.PIH.org) As of now we have already held several events and drives, raised funds, and have drop off locations across the state. We also have started working with public schools in Providence, Pawtucket, Central Falls and Lincoln. All proceeds and materials donated go directly to those in need. We have sent shipments, raised funds, and aided HCHF in a missions trip to Haiti in March 2010. In addition, the coordinators will be volunteering in the upcoming months hands-on with Haiti Charity Hope in Haiti. We are looking in 2011 to expand and work with more charities on additional prevalent issues and areas of need.
We want to give everyone, no matter their age or economic status, an opportunity to make a difference. Our motto is "One person can make a difference, but united we can impact the WORLD". We can do more when we work together and tap into the power of solidarity; and it is the goal of Unity in Action to put that ideal into fruition.
WE NEED YOUR HELP! we must work together to make a change! are you interested in getting involved? do you want to donate? collaborate? volunteer? learn more?
