We can scrub 1,000 orphanage floors, yet the Greatest Service is to embrace the perfection of love that we are in this moment.
Wars, hunger... all results because our minds have made contructs, opinions and beliefs.... that our reality, mankind's agreement, that we are physical beings, that we are separate, that there is space and time, waits to be healed, by each heart awakening
This is the healing of humanity, and still we can serve by scrubbing or in many ways, yes?

I have joined a wonderful For-Benefit Humanitarian Organization that provides a vehicle for EXPONENTIAL and SUSTAINABLE Receiving AND Giving to move all people of the world, ourselves included, from a place of Survival, through Self-Empowerment, to Sustainability. Live a life of Passion and Meaning while helping those around the world! I truly believe the We ARE the ones we have been waiting for and that change will begin and flourish at a grassroots level!

But $10 that goes to a 3rd world producer family can give them tools to be self-sufficient, or keep them out of a medical debt that would force a child into a lifetime of labor. It also lowers our cost of living by the tiniest increment, because there's less money circulating in our economy. We need to bring our cost of living down, through helping each other freely, and bring their quality of living up through donations.
