Empowering Volunteers to Advocate for Social Change in America

· Leave a comment ·

If I could start my own charity my mission would be to serve the homeless in Chicago. Drugs, lack of funding for schools, economic inequality has affected Chicago. I would create an organization to write and change laws to bring equality those in America. My mission would be to bring peace, prosperity, and justice for all Americans.

I would serve anybody who is in need. Violence has no color and that is what we have to remember as people that no crime shall be overlooked. Everybody in America needs a wage that will allow them to afford a decent place to live. We all need laws to protect us from injustice.

If I had volunteers for my charity that would help research the problem, develop solutions, and turn them into actions. My volunteers will help me expand my mission through various communication platforms. My volunteers will give their time and expertise to further my mission

The Importance of Volunteer Work in Building Stronger Communities

· Leave a comment ·

I believe it’s important for all working human beings to volunteer in their communities especially if they want to see change or solve a problem. if a person does not volunteer, they will not know the root of the issue, how to serve and what Ideas to bring to the townhall meetings or local church gatherings. I believe the results of people not voting for state officials & president is similar to not volunteering. When less people vote then the wrong person holds a powerful position. When we don’t volunteer, we are unaware of the disadvantages some of our people face in America and in our communities. The biggest differences in our communities can only happen if the people involve had volunteered to educate themselves on particular issue.

Small Acts of Kindness: Spreading Love and Hope to the Homeless in Chicago

· Leave a comment ·

A few years back I decided to give a few gift bags away to the homeless I see on the train and bus every day. At first, I thought this was crazy, but I have a humbled and grateful approach to life. The first thing that comes to my mind every time I see someone asking or begging for help, where would I be if I had no one or a job? This is a harsh reality for thousands of people. One day I went to the dollar store and brought bananas and candy bars. I placed them inside a gift bag and passed them out to whoever I saw on the street. Of course, this random act of Charity caused me to question whether that right thing is to do. In the back of my mind, I prayed for protection and clarity. shortly after I passed out the bags, I began to wonder about starting my own nonprofit that performed small acts of kindness in the Chicago region. My feelings towards this act of kindness made me little special. I prayed that I didn’t violate anyone with the pictures and gift bags.
