At least they can eat at school.

As a teacher, once I am settled those types of projects will be high on my volunteer list. Sadly, there are not many projects like that where I am now. I help where I can, food banks, clothing banks, etc. BUT, I am looking forward to being in a position that I can initiate programs if they do not already exist.

Yes it is a great project but you have to get a snapshot of my life. Before the day was over one of my friends who emerged from this wonderful project covered in paint had to come and tell me "Sun they have a HUGE piece of land and want to grow an organic garden" so of course I should help them and teach them how to do a food bank and hot meal program and lets get them into solar technology..do you see the great thinktank here?

My friends are amazing, giving, loving people, but..I cant keep taking on projects. I can lead a project and delegate but I will not have a lot of time to do so. What I can do however is help them to find funding for these projects and then identify the right people who will actually be here to help them when I return to CA.
