I attended a February 2008 rally in Hartford Connecticut. After that, I threw myself into campaigning for President Obama for 11 months in 5 states. Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Florida.
For the past 20+ years, I have been very actively been donating used books and school supplies to mountain schools in Jamaica, West Indies. I put an ad in the local free paper asking for any "gently used" books, shoes, school supplies, clothing, and then I physically haul it all down and personally deliver to schools and clinics in need.
I encourage anyone going to a third world country to plase carry something. You will get back more than you give and the HOPE you give to another in need is priceless and a great footprint to leave in the sand on this journey through LIFE~
