I am a community servant by nature. I love helping others and teaching others how to give back. It is so important to lend a helping hand where ever and whenever you can. Kindness and compassion is what makes the world go around.

Why are you participating?

Everyone has something to offer the world. We are all equally important to the make up of a community. I believe that we need to know and learn from each other and always be willing to give a little to the people around us.

I work for three religious organizations between two school and being a church organist. I donate and give support to as many charitable activities they have sponsored as possible. In the past the list has included giving to the local food pantry, donating to families with special needs, being a Christmas "Angel" by providing gifts for children, knitting for the homeless. I also spend time talking with strangers - at the store, on the street. I find people enjoy the interaction. Just saying a warm "good morning" can brighten someone's day.

Why are you participating?

As a teacher I see many different views from many different age groups. The youngest are the best at saying exactly what they feel and often get things way before the adults. As a musician I hear - a lot - I keep my mind open. As a mother I want only good things for my children.

I always try to find an attribute in strangers that I can compliment. Hair, jewelry, outfit, anything. It can really add a positive zing to a person’s day - And on a selfish level, the returning smile I usually receive adds a nice boost to my day as well.

Why are you participating?

I am participating in this because I think the world needs as much positive as we can find. And how wonderful to look through and see how we see ourselves. What the world may see as our most important feature, may not be something that personally we consider that big a deal.
