I had never heard of this program before either but when I read the chip package I decided I must bring the empty bag home and post about it here. I thought this could be the start of my wave here with this discussion! I know about you wanting to give back and listening to people is a wonderful start! I had no idea about some of the desires that you have mentioned here but it is my prayer that you are able to reach some of these areas in the years to come! As for My Wave besides starting this discussion which I pray that still more people will see...I would really like to promote more awareness and understanding for Autism and the mentally handicapped! I'd also like to see all families in my community not having to worry about food and clothing and paying their bills! ~Heavens~

I see that we share one of the 'same dreams.' If only this dream could be a reality. I'd 'just love' to be able to actually provide groceries for needy families, to begin with, but as you know it's not possible for me now. I'm not talking about the food banks either, but 'some other way,' that I could come up with. Really! As for my other two, way back when I was single, and living in Toronto, I was actually planning on doing some volunteer work. I had the number written down (no internet back then,) etc., and was going to start with the CNIB. The rest, as they say, "is history." It wasn't long after this, that I met my future husband, and my life took a totally different direction. Maybe one day, I can actually take up this cause again. The abused women, and the desire to help them, is borne out of personal contact I've had with 'three families' since I've lived 'here.' It just seems to keep cropping up in my life, and I'd like to make a difference. I 'knew' it would go without saying, that you'd be a champion for the cause of autism, and the mentally challenged doesn't surprise me either. You're quite the expert on autism, etc., so I'm sure you could really make a difference. Often going with what we know is key. This doesn't mean that we can't get involved in unknown (to us) areas though. My desire for the CNIB work, isn't something I can explain. I don't personally know any blind people. My other two causes 'are quite obvious,' as to what's behind those desires of mine. I hope your day is going okay, and that your cold is better soon. Hugs

I knew it would not surprise you....Special children have always had a special place in my heart and helping them to learn has always been my passion...Giving them the utmost highest quality of life possible! What I would really like to do is combine "Normal" Children with "Special" Children in a program where they are able to befriend each other and develop an understanding of each others needs! Much better than the segregation of small classrooms and special camps and sports teams etc!!!! That would be my perfect world where everyone and I mean everyone lived together and co operated in understanding and happiness no matter what our needs!! Praying For A Perfect World ~Heavens~
