Don't just sit around.
This weekend was Kids Against Hunger. There has been a lot of talk about how we should be helping people in our own community instead of other places in the world. I think makes sense, but why can't we do both? The people in Haiti can't get their own food, and it's amazing how we are helping them, but we can also do something for the people around here. I don't think there is a right or wrong answer to whether we should help in our area, or somewhere else. I just think the wrong answer is to do nothing.

I think we should help people in our own country first. I'm definitely NOT saying the people in Haiti are less important, or that we shouldn't help them.
What I think the problem is how lots of people get involved because it takes minimal effort. I heard one of my sisters say, "This is easier, and it takes less money."
That attitude is much less than productive, and put a sour twist on the Kids Against Hunger "movement".
You guys did an amazing job. Thousands of people are going to get a real meal for the first time a probably a long while. Nothing to argue there, and if there was only a jerk would say you guys shouldn't have done it. So don't listen to anything like that.
If we go into it for the right reasons it makes all the difference(:
