IT STARTS WITH YOU!

No matter what you may go through in life, when you take the time to look around you.... really look around you... You will see people that have it so much worse than you that you would be embarrassed to complain and you would begin to be thankful for all you have and count your blessing.

But it is not enough to realize that you have been blessed; it's not enough to be thankful to have it better than the next person; it's not enough to stop complaining.... The fact that you can see that you have it so much better than someone else should also be a motivation to want to do something about it.

A lot of times we think that on our own there is nothing we can do; we live it up to big organizations to take care of it. But one thing we do not thinK about is the fact that those organizations did not start that big. Those big relief operations did not have all those trucks of provisions from the beginning. It all started with one person identifying a need and reaching out to one person and then another and another and another.... and getting other people to join in.... but it all started with one.
We may wait for these big relief organizations to do something but they may never reach your neighborhood in time, they may need to reach worse areas than yours... but YOU are right there and you see the need of the people surrounding you. You may not be able to do it all, but you can do something.

As Mother Theresa said "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one"; we would like to encourage you to put these words into action. As a Foundation we will be doing a lot all around the world, but there is so much to be done so do not leave it up just to us.
Start today, start where you are, because when it's all been said and done.... IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU!
