Tell Us Your Good Deed

One summer I went to a ranch in South Dakota to teach mentally and physically disabled kids to ride horses. The girl I got assigned to never showed up so I never got to know one kid that trip. I got to know them all! It was a wonderful experience to see them get up on their horses and ponies and knowing you taught them how to mount and steer the horse. Seeing that kind of growth and noticing how ecstatic they got about the progress they were making, it's kind of hard not to want to turn the memories of their gleaming smiles into a career.

Why are you participating?

I'm participating because I wish to end this stigma that Atheists don't have morals. When I tell people I'm atheist they ask if I have morals. Of course I have morals! It's possible to both not believe in God and be a gracious and good human being.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

It's so hard to find a purely good deed but here are a couple of non-profit organizations/causes that I have volunteered in: Horizons for Homeless Children, 1 TOUCH self-defense for the blind, Project Homecoming restoration program in New Orleans

Why are you participating?

Because it's a cool idea, it brings out stereotypes that we should be made aware of, and it's fun!
