Live simply. Make a difference.
Tear down walls. Build community.
Fight apathy. Seek solidarity.
See the problems. Find solutions.
Be the change. Make it last.
Turning the abstract expectations of being a VISTA into concrete contributions takes more than perpetual positive expression, it takes time. So does blogging. My existential illustration of my VISTA experience was lacking in detail and story form. So, here is my concrete contribution for the month of October: I put together the UWPC Volunteer Center e-Newsletter. This is my story for the Season of Caring program. (Sorry no visuals, I thought a picture of the computer screen would just be redundant.)

It’s coming, it’s coming, the Season of Caring!
Time for family, friends and community sharing.
With times being so tough and so many in need,
The endeavor ahead might seem daunting indeed.
But when working together who knows what we’ll do,
So join in food drives, toy drives and sponsorships too.
Come rain, snow or ice, forget weather so wearing
This season we’ll prove the true meaning of caring.
So now come do what you can, give big or give small.
You make a difference when you answer the call.
