At a Save Darfur rally in Atlanta |
Since I have decided to devote my time to charities and causes, I have been fortunate enough to meet amazing people who are changing the ocean one drop at a time and they continue to educate, support and inspire me. Causes that will always be close to my heart are those that deal with such immediate needs as hunger and lack of clean drinking water and standing with those who are fighting for their lives, whether it is in a refuge camp in Darfur or a pediatric cancer ward. My support may be anything from donating a tweet to Alex's Lemonade Stand or giving blood at my local American Red Cross center to choosing to shop at companies that give back such as TOMS shoes and Better World Books.
Your heart may lead you to other needs and the causes or charities you support may be different. As long as you find a need and decide to put your drop in the ocean, the world will be a better place. I hope you will share with me what causes you support and how you are leaving your drop in the ocean.
Pax,
