Ripples (and Blogs) of Hope

Hey hey...playing conduit today and sharing an excellent blog post on letter-writing and becoming active with Bread for the World's 2008 Campaign.  The author is actually going to be speaking in Austin at our Offering of Letters Workshop in February and has first-hand experience of the power of hand-written letters as a former senatorial aide!

Read Advocate for the Hungry over at Inspired to Action now - it's excellent content speaks for itself!  And of course we're thankful for the extra awareness in the 'internets' - this is the stuff movements are made of...voices connecting to other voices...

"Let no one be discouraged by the belief there is nothing one man or one woman can do against the enormous array of the world's ills - against misery and ignorance, injustice and violence...Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total of all those acts will be written the history of this generation...

It is from the numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
