“Writing is an act of community. It is a letter, it is comforting, consoling, helping, advising on our part, as well as asking it on yours. It is a part of our human association with each other. It is an expression of our love and concern for each other.” -Dorothy Day

Be the Change
This is from an organization called Free the Children that works to provide schools and clean water and other necessities to people in developing children. Michel Chikwanine and Katie Meyler from Free the Children came here on Monday, and I got to spend some time with them in a workshop and have dinner with them before they gave their presentation. Michel was a child soldier in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Katie has lived in areas of Africa and South America. They are so inspiring.
