Remember Rwanda, Act of Service Day!

 "In 1994, the world stood by as Rwanda was torn apart by a brutal genocide—in roughly 100 days, nearly one million people were murdered. The UN estimates that a quarter of a million women were raped, 70% of them contracted HIV/AIDS. These women were used as weapons of war and left as widows, single mothers, and orphaned teenage girls. Same Sky was born with a mission to help them."

In memory of the Rwandan Genocide, Same Sky is organizing a global Act of Service Day! To participate, all you have to do is perform any type of volunteer service to make your community a better place. Remember, we all live under the SAME SKY!

Tomorrow, Saturday March 29th, I will be serving breakfast to the women and children staying at Hope House. I love volunteering my time with Hope House. They provide the resources necessary for women to feel empowered and get back on their feet in such a difficult time. I would like to give a big "Thank You" to LaMar's Donuts in Lees Summit, Einstein Bagels in Blue Springs, Walmart in Lees Summit, and HyVee in Lees Summit for their generous donations to the breakfast. Without them, this would not have been possible. I am looking forward to spending some time with everyone at Hope House in the morning! I'm makin' WAFFLES! ;)
