making a difference.

something has been laid on my heart, recently. i've really been looking around for a charity of some sort to offer my support to in order to better someone's life, and i have found such an organization. World Vision is a christian foundation which aids in building funds to help prevent AIDS in villages, build awareness about the disease, and also gives food, clothing, education, etc. to children who are less fortunate. the child i am sponsering, Edson, is seven years old and from Uganda. he is not yet in school, but enjoys drawing and ball games. he is in satisfactory health, and his chores at home include caring for animals. soon, i will be recieving pictures and such about Edson in the mail, and we'll be able to communicate through letters. i am so excited about this, and i believe that everyone should be involved in something like this. just think what the world would be if EVERYONE could give whatever they had to someone less fortunate.

what a dream.

That's great Krista... I think we're going to do the 30-Hour Famine this year.
