Poetic Thoughts ...

I’m amazed at how selfish we can be …
The lack of humility that each of us has …
We pride ourselves on others pain …
Yet, we are hurting ourselves …

I often underestimate the power of a touch …
And, most days, I reminisce of how it used to be …
I miss the days when life was easier …
Yet, I believe the days ahead are going to be the best yet …

It’s a beautiful, crazy, wonderfully complicated place we live …
Beauty surrounds us …
Embrace life … embrace it before you no longer can …

HERO Youth Ambassadors to Embark on Journey of a Lifetime!

You might remember a few months ago, I wrote a post about the HERO Youth Ambassador Program. If not, you can read it here: http://untitledentityunveiled.blogspot.com/2008/02/become-hero-youth-ambassador.html.

The HERO Youth Ambassadors Program selects a number of teens from across the U.S. and Canada to travel to Africa to work on Protecting Futures, a program by Tampax and Always to help girls stay in school during menstruation.

For more info about the program, check out: http://www.protectingfutures.com/.

I was just informed that the youth ambassadors for 2008 have been chosen!

Among the students chosen, only one Canadian was selected, Natasha Clark, who is a native of Coldstream, BC.

Natasha’s active involvement at school and work with children in her community illustrates her passionate commitment to helping others. She is scheduled to depart on June 27th and is currently working to raise $5,000 to help fund her mission to Africa.

To learn more about Natasha and the other 2008 Youth Ambassadors, or to help support Natasha’s fundraising goal, visit: http://www.heroaction.org/site/c.gpIPKZOAJoG/b.3750887/ to learn more!

It will be a journey of a lifetime in which they will never forget! Support them today!
