I don't know what I can do, but at this moment, I can think of nothing other than the struggles in the Sudan. I've been reading a lot about Darfu lately. I'd like to do something there.

In my own backyard of course. Unfortunately you can not care for someone more than they care for themselves. At some point your offer of help or service, becomes a hindrance to an individuals development. A person has to have the desire to help themselves. Given that attitude they can prosper from the help offered so they no longer need assistance.

This is the flaw in many community service programs. It becomes a crutch that individuals rely upon and use, rather than learn from and grow.

I speak from experience. I've been of service many times. Sometimes it was gratifying, more often it was frustrating.

Attitude is everything. You must also learn to respect the choices that people make for themselves. Set boundaries on your own personal involvement.

Tough lessons for everyone to learn.
 

i will go where im happy like the osean! if im happy i will reflect that to others...
 

"Unfortunately you can not care for someone more than they care for themselves"

that was the most painful lesson i was ever taught, but also the most liberating...
 

right here. right now. it`s what i`m doing.
 

Like drt, I would start in my own neighborhood but for different reasons.

Black neighborhoods in America are no different than colonies. I would work to make black neighborhoods politically, economically, and militarily autonomous. As long as we are not in control of our own destinies, we can never be complete human beings.

If it were for just a year, I'd choose somewhere in Latin America. Probably Central America. I'd want to work with women and children. Maybe on literacy issues or on health care issues. I have a soft spot in my heart for Latin America because I spent several months there in college and saw so much poverty and suffering. I'd love to go back and be able to do something to improve things there.
 

I would stay in North America.
I would teach loving kindess, healing arts and help parents understand their children and children to understand themselves.
 

Where doesn't really matter in the scheme of things- just where you want to.
But I can't think of any service that would top children, especially starving children.
