Tonite ..
Tonite I went to a non-profit meeting. An acquaintance of ours started a non-profit org with another lady. They sent me an invite to their first meeting. There were about 15 women there. I asked the founder what this org is about. She said .. when she was growing up ..everyboby had a “community” feeling and she wants to bring that back. Also, she talked about a cause like V*iolence against W*omen and women can open up and support each other etc. She was hoping that it can be added in school curriculum so that kids don’t need to be afraid to talk about what goes on in their homes.
Hmm…somehow.. I cannot buy that. Their agenda seems very vague to me. Maybe they haven’t found their purpose yet. But .. getting together with bunch of women around the neighborhood and starting a conversation is entirely different from asking these same ladies “Please share any violence or abuse that you have experienced”. I don’t want to know if my neighbor is abused ……
If I want to support a non profit .. it would about “single working moms” or “troubled kids”.
But fact of the matter is my acquaintance and her friend are trying to make a difference while I am sitting here and whining.
