Outreach Updates with Dr. Wells
"When will our consciences grow so tender that we will act to prevent human misery rather than avenge it?"

-Eleanor Roosevelt

"The World is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything."

- Albert Einstein


It is not a question of whether you "have what it takes," but of whether you take the gifts you have -- they are plenteous -- and share them with all the world.

-Neale Donald Walsch



The whole idea of compassion is based on a keen awareness of the interdependence of all these living beings, which are all part of one another, and all involved in one another.

-Thomas Merton


"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

-Mahatma Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)
Welcome back!  And much gratitude again for all those who donated shoes to help children with cancer... we collected over 10,000lbs of shoes!

This months charity is Somaly Mam.  An outreach program that rescues, and supports victims of childhood slavery in Southeast Asia.

The issue:
The Asia Pacific region (which includes South Asia) has the largest number of victims in forced labor - 11.7 million (more than the population of NYC). 

Additionally, 55 percent of forced labor victims are estimated to be women and girls, as are 98 percent of sex trafficking victims.

Virgins are sold for an average of $482 (and as little as $200). The average client pays $5 for services.

To raise awareness and funds Dr. Wells will be sky diving from 18,000 feet!!
