Notations On Our World (W-End Edition): On The Challenge of Hunger......

Our team will be busy supporting one of the most worthy causes over the ensuing months--Scouting for Food.  It is a National Campaign the Boy and Girl Scouts spearhead to support Feeding America.  Here in Orange County, we will be working to raise food in support of Second Harvest Food Bank.    An Estimated 300,000 people are food-insecure in Orange County.     We will be reporting on it over the ensuing weeks here in our Ordinary Faces Property.

We wanted to share this courtesy of the team at Feeding America about the challenge of hunger as the on-going challenge of it continues: 

Summertime! Usually it means sunshine, long days, and warm  nights. But not for kids who rely on free and reduced-price meals at school. For many of them, summer = hunger. Want to do something quick and easy about it? Good! My challenge to you: Play the Hungry to Learn game! It'll test your summer hunger smarts and even better, a generous donor will donate a meal to Feeding America when you do. Helping more kids get the food they need to grow and thrive has never been easier. Start here by answering this question: No child deserves to spend the summer wondering where their next meal will come from. Thank you for taking the challenge and helping us put a dent in a child's hunger this summer. So what are you waiting for? Get started now – I'm sure you'll learn something new! Sincerely, Elizabeth Nielsen Senior Vice President Feeding America

As a New Week Dawns.......

Our team worked through curating the properties with our latest editions of "View of the Week" which we hope all enjoy by visiting all "Education", "Visions" and "Home" properties which provide compelling thoughts and ideas on our World.     As our week is before us, though, our team chose these courtesy of Jonathan Lockwood Huie that we view as central to our Mission which we are privileged to share:

When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes,
we must try charity, which is love in action.
We must speculate no more on our duty,
but simply do it.
When we have done it, however blindly,
perhaps Heaven will show us why.
- Dinah Maria Mulock

Let us touch the dying, the poor,
the lonely and the unwanted
according to the graces we have received
and let us not be ashamed
or slow to do the humble work.
- Mother Teresa

Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren,
ye have done it unto me.
- Matthew 25:40 

Onward to the New Week with all its' possibilities....
