What a day...thanks to Citibank and Meg Ryan and the gang, working hard on one of the hottest days of hte year, along with our builders camper, Hunter, John in Bedford, and many more..
today is one of those days I do what i call the Westchester World tour...it is almost like the size of a small country and too many there is one world, westchester..part of the problem, part of the hiddenness part of the strength...with that in mind...people get involved and they dont get involved...they send their kids to the "best" schools, where other kids go to the "worst" schools..or what does that mean...some kids have no after sports programs in westchester, and others have tutors to tie their shoes and pick their steve maddens and highest psats...what a world,right...Many dont think there is a need for homes here...why its westchester home of the WAG and TRUMP and the WESTCHESTER (the name of a Mall where you get Mauled with High prices..kiddin, maybe)...today i went through the world...went from Yonkers to Bedford...almost like three worlds...also people like head of the sports teams...of Horace Mann, and head of student bodies, to teens who dont live in a decent home and immigrants who just get their papers today..what a world we live in...
How do we level the playing field, not only in sports teams but in life teams...how do we help everyone understand how everyone can win, if we just share and build and dream together...the greed recently of this country got us into the financial mess we are in, foreclosures at astronmical costs, challenges that are unbelievable...and no rooms at the inn..for the average working person and family..
Proudly i always get reinvigorated, not so much with self pride, but just the pride of being able to be part of the blessings of Habitat, when i see our four homes in Yonkers being worked on, while at the same time, i take the tour and see our second home in bedford being finished....in Yonkers citibank employees and in bedford, A team teenager members and new volunteers like Jack and his wife and my long time heroe..John Chambers a superintendant of schools recently retired, who has volunteered with us regularly his schools..
thank you to all who come out,along iwth my other A team volunteers helping us to move our warehouse..
so help us today level the playing field..help us make
