In your own little way, how did you help your community?

I do my fare share of recycling in our home. For about two years now, I encouraged my family members to segregate garbage in our home. The junk shop has been my "bestfriend" because every two weeks I sell the stuff we have gathered. This means that we only give the garbage truck what is due to them - the real garbage. If only households would practice segregating their trash, the metro would be relieved of a great deal of pollution.

I have not done anything but I have a dream... one day i am gonna make a home for children living in street.. give them education, good life... one day i will surely do that, I know how its feel to be alone in this world without anyone to look at, specially when you are children.

I haven't done a whole lot for my community but I try to give to as many charities as I can. Whenever there is a drive for clothes, I go through my closets and give them to the charity so they can sell them for money. The other day a young girl got sent home from school cause she wasn't wearing a jacket. Her parents weren't home, so I looked through the closets and found one. It was too big but at least she had a jacket. I told her to keep it. I was leaving to go out the other day and she sang out to me to tell me thank you her brother loved the jacket and it fit. That made me feel good too.

Hello again maribel, I can tell by your posts that you are a very kind and caring person. When I first came to Thailand I stayed in a small village where the residents were very poor. For as long as I was there I gave free English lessons to the children. My reward was written all over the faces of the all those chikdren.
