This is a little idea I had ... I remembered a boy I used to
sponsor when I was young and we ended up buying a water well
for the boys community with our sponsorship, let alone feeding
his family. Anyway, I was talking to Chad about it and I just
wanted to do something within my ability to help, just help
another outside my own box ... to be able to extend beyond the
ability I have in my own universe.
We (Chad and I) got to talking about all these things we say
in 'helping' and also on the radio shows that consists of talk
of a better world ... that is how my thoughts began. If
we do all this talking, what can we do in action to help outside
our known world?
What we have come up with is that we can all contribute to another
life at the same cost of a cup of coffee to us if we do it collectively.
So Susan is the first. We are hoping to continue to raise more
to be able to sponsor more children in the near future and if
we get a surplus of donations we will send an email to ask ALL
of the donors what WE wish to do i.e.; just keep Susan going
if the donations that come in go over and above the amount needed
for her each month ($35 a month) or sponsor another child as
well as Susan and hope the continuing support will make that
viable, or buy a goat for the community? etc. By giving
all the donors the choice in what options we have, what we wish
for is that everyone feels involved with the child and the cause,
that we are all part of the choices and decisions to be involved.
We will be posting all the correspondence to, and from, Susan
on the page as it arrives so everyone can view the updates and
start to personally know Susan to be able to SEE the impact
of the collective contributions ... every dollar adds
up.
We are promoting this on Aware Talk Radio with all the
host's ... and on InnerCircle Publishing. For all those who
host their own shows, I would love if you would have a link
on your show and promote it with us ... Susan and the
idea of collective contribution. When you see the top of Susan's
page where it has Aware talk radio, ICP etc, If your show wants
to promote Susan with the concept of the collective to help
even just one child, Chad and I will also put your icon there
too. The icon if clicked on will go directly to your site so
we will all be a team.
I want people to start getting involved, not just talking
about enlightenment but following through in small actions that
as a collective can make a HUGE impact to a life of another,
I understand that there are many who contribute in other ways,
with the acts of kindness, guidance, and love, and living in
truth ... and this is one more small act by which we can make
a better world.
Children like Susan do not have the luxury to spend their time
thinking about spiritual development when their energy is spent
to try obtain basic need's. I hope you can be part of it with
me although I know you have so much going on right now.
I was starting from a single thought to want to help,
to make a difference,to do what I can even in my limited means
... what little I can do to help ... and I realised that what
little WE ALL can do if we do it together ... we can make a
difference.
If you can send the link out to people you know (even with this
email as it explains the idea in even more detail) That would
be greatly appreciated. Again I know you have soooooooooooo
much going on but it would be a great help with the cause.
Just a dollar can make a difference.
