Tell Us Your Good Deed

After the earthquake in Haiti, my friends and I put on a concert to raise funds to send to Doctors Without Borders and The Red Cross. We gave free merchandise to those who supported these efforts. Although I only had $50 in my bank account to last me for 2 weeks, I happily sent all of the money we raised from our show to the two organizations we had chosen so they could help with relief efforts.

Why are you participating?

I'm tired of people making erroneous assumptions about others based on stereotypes.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work for three religious organizations between two school and being a church organist. I donate and give support to as many charitable activities they have sponsored as possible. In the past the list has included giving to the local food pantry, donating to families with special needs, being a Christmas "Angel" by providing gifts for children, knitting for the homeless. I also spend time talking with strangers - at the store, on the street. I find people enjoy the interaction. Just saying a warm "good morning" can brighten someone's day.

Why are you participating?

As a teacher I see many different views from many different age groups. The youngest are the best at saying exactly what they feel and often get things way before the adults. As a musician I hear - a lot - I keep my mind open. As a mother I want only good things for my children.
