Thursday was the last meeting of my sociology class. They surprised me by presenting me with a $50.00 gift certificate to buya.org, a web site that you can shop for specific needs around the world. They ended class by looking at what they could do, and doing something. Just imagine what we could do if we continued to see what was needed and made a commitment to do something. My class did something.
I was shopping tonight, trying to decide if I get a goat, chickens, medical care, meals, and many other possible purchases. I ended up giving the $50.00 gift certificate to feed 200 children in Haiti.
It was tough. I think the hardest part for me is wondering what needs, out of all the needs, I should send the money to. In the end I just had to pick one.
A big thank you to my class. You all made my day! And because of you there will be some children who's day you made, as well.

This gift was made possible because of who YOU are- you inspire us,make us want to be more, make you proud of us. If you weren't such an awesome instructor and human being, this gift would not have been possible. As it was, it was very easy. Everyone in class wanted to donate in your name. YOU DESERVE THE CREDIT (or blame, as the case may be) FOR BEING WHO YOU ARE!!! A Student
