St. John's Episcopal School & Western Digital Supply Drives

I received great news this afternoon from St. John's Episcopal School that they will host a supply drive for the foundation!  I am beyond thrilled because it was while I was  attending St. John's that the tsunami hit Sri Lanka and we started collecting donations to help the children that were orphaned.  I was very young, but the number of people that were misplaced and lost family really affected our school community.  

Mr. Lusby, Father John, and Miss Patti decided at that point that we needed to make Sri Lanka our Community Service Project and we learned about compassion and the need of helping others.  This was my motivation to bring medical supplies to the underdeveloped areas in Sri Lanka this  summer because they poorest areas are still in need of basic medical supplies.

I also received confirmation that Western Digital is hosting a medical supply drive for Hearts for Hearts too!  The Irvine location has approximately 1,500 employees that will participate in donating as well as helping package everything up to be shipped out.  

I am so grateful that everything is coming together so well!  I leave in just under two months, and there is still so much to do.  I'm proud of my community and all the support they have provided.  They are helping so many people with items that seems trivial to most.

Is there really anything better than information spread thru word of mouth? Back when people don't use paper, not even ink written in leaves or wood. the only way to teach children what they know is by asking them to repeat what they hear. It maybe inaccurate but it can be magical at times. Should there be a time when physical evidence is destroyed, the truckload of people who were made to memorize all the information could never be wrong. We should be more careful now that knowledge is dependent on electricity.
