Thanks for subscribing – I sent you an email about the RSS and a possible reason for the problem.

Train for Humanity just started this summer – August I think. At first, I didn’t know too much about it but I do know Mark Hayward online and he is so kind that I knew this endeavor would be worth something. I think they are having a little trouble getting know which is why I try to spread the word about what they are doing as much as possible.

Don’t get me started on the media – I think they stuff people full of the unimportant to blind us from what is really important and to keep us ignorant. I don’t believe much positive change can occur until there is extensive media reform. And since Darfur isn’t a big issue with our media right now people don’t even know what it’s going but they can name Palin’s children and know what Britney Spears did yesterday.

These intensely horrible situations also keep things in perspective for me – I know that no matter how hard things are that my life will never be anywhere close to what these people experience on a daily basis.

Thanks for this info. I had no idea that Train for Humanity existed.

What’s going on in Darfur is horrible and I’m glad you brought up the fact that the mainstream media is not DOING their job and focusing on something important other than this US election blah blah hoopla. What’s more important? People dying? Or whether I can see the fuzz on Sarah Palin’s upper lip? Okay, I’m getting pissed so I better leave before I go off on a tangent.

Thanks. E

Thank you for sharing your story and alerting me to Train for Humanity! I’ve dugg your post to send more traffic your way and alert everyone else to this wonderful organization.

Thank you!

Your post was great. I actually told the condensed version and I do have friends and family who would help keep the worst from happening. I was just really upset with the other comment – I felt bad – like I had hijacked the comment thread.

I wanted to thank you again for sharing your own personal story on MomGrind today, Kim.
