With all that is happening in Puerto Rico and around the world I tend to become a pessimist. I can't seem to get out of a certain "funk" or sense of helplessness and honestly believe that something must be shaken up to its core before any real change can happen.
Recently, I was heartbroken to read about the little boy in Rincon who was left in an old and abandoned washing machine. I guess things like this affect me on a personal level because I am a mom and can't fathom anything so atrocious happening to my 14 year old...even though I know that while he is exposed to the world anything can happen. I read about the brutal slayings of a transgendered in Jamaica and can't help but feel horrified. Again my maternal instincts kick in and I can't help but wonder what comes next for my son's future.
But, I can't really remain in that state and I am a TRUE daydreamer. I always fantasize about what I would do with money and time. Who can I help? and Why? Where would I be? What would be that non-profit organization's vision and mission?
I want you to look for something that moves you to the point that you would create an organisation for. Mind you, it's okay if that "thing" you care for already has an organization, I want you to create your own. How would it be different from the one that already exists? If there is nothing out there create it form scratch. My purpose is that you find something that is dear to your heart and create from your soul something that would make this world a better place.
There is a catch. You must document and show evidence that there is a need for your philanthropical cause. For example if I wanted do one with battered women I need to look up news surrounding this need.
Keep the following in mind:
