Wed Apr 15 05:08:44 UTC 2015

Actually, that is not the only one, but that is the only one that
keeps popping up that is within the city of Corona.   that is as far
as I will travel for a volunteer opportunity, because of budgetary
constraints.

>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the world.?
>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger issues

>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to

>> and what they can do about it.
>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the issue?
> And
>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want to

>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
> yourself
>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might be
> new,
>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at a

>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make a
>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet about
>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and tour

>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided

>> more public access trails.
>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn more
>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>> Do you have an interest in children?  Volunteer with CASA, a national
>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster home.

>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa.  Once I

>> Hi all,
>>
>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the

>> service.
>>
>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really good
>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out what you
>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the author
>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there and
>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t think
> you
>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the most
>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the biggest
>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service. I?m a
>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do something
>> if
> I
>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of me.
> What
>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out there
> and
>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s okay. I
>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would imagine
> that
>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people to
>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to perform
>> the
>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just to say
>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not saying
> that
>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for me,
>> but
> I
>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than during
> the
>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to support
>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>>
>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>> caring
>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some time,
> and
>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service because
>> we?re
>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what we?d like
> to
>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them; we?re
>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to our
>> communities.
>>
>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By
>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different, complex,
>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing meaningful
> work.?
>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more involved in
>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general, and I
> think
>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.

>>>>> What?s the Most Important Question in Your Life?
>>>>>
>>>>> Aaron Schwartz, the famous programmer and internet activist who died
>>>>> before
>>>>> his time, said: ?You should be asking yourself all the time what is
>>>>> the
>>>>> most
>>>>> important thing in the world I could be working on right now, and if
>>>>> you
>>>>> are
>>>>> not working on that, why aren?t you??
>>>>> These days in Silicon Valley, I meet people who are smart and working
>>>>> at
>>>>> a
>>>>> company ?changing the world.? I don?t want to rain on their parade,
>>>>> but
>>>>> developing another instant messaging service is not ?changing the
>>>>> world.?
>>>>> It?s not that these people are intentionally neglecting the larger
>>>>> issues
>>>>> in
>>>>> the world, or that they don?t care.
>>>>> I believe it?s because some people don?t yet know what is important to
>>>>> them
>>>>> and what they can do about it.
>>>>> How do you move from skimming news headlines to caring about the
>>>>> issue?
>>>>> And
>>>>> then from caring about the issue to wanting to make it what you want
>>>>> to
>>>>> spend your time working on?
>>>>> How to Find Yourself and Change the World
>>>>> I encourage people to take this into their own hands. To learn about
>>>>> yourself and what you are capable of. Take the initiative and open
>>>>> yourself
>>>>> up to the broader experiences of the world?to experiences that might
>>>>> be
>>>>> new,
>>>>> exciting, emotional, and sometimes physically uncomfortable.
>>>>> One of the most meaningful experiences of my life was volunteering at
>>>>> a
>>>>> human rights nonprofit and interviewing refugees in a camp on the
>>>>> Thai-Burma
>>>>> border. There was no running water, no electricity.  We sat on the
>>>>> bare
>>>>> floors of their thatched huts.  I listened to their stories of their
>>>>> lives.
>>>>> Family members would pick up the guitar and take turns singing
>>>>> traditional
>>>>> folk songs.
>>>>> I came back to my last year of Harvard Law School and felt no
>>>>> temptation
>>>>> to
>>>>> go to the recruiting events of the big law firms.  I was one of the
>>>>> very
>>>>> few
>>>>> who did not have a job upon graduation.   I continued to write and
>>>>> eventually fell into journalism.  I was so grateful that I had found
>>>>> something that was important to me, that I could call my work.
>>>>> To truly realize what is important to you and what you can do to make
>>>>> a
>>>>> difference?learn by doing. Don?t worry if you don?t know enough yet
>>>>> about
>>>>> the issue?you will learn it by doing it.
>>>>> Be Curious?Say Yes
>>>>> If you are invited to visit a low-income neighborhood in Oakland and
>>>>> tour
>>>>> their community garden, do it. Go and don?t be afraid to talk to the
>>>>> people
>>>>> who live there and learn about their community. If the Rainforest
>>>>> Action
>>>>> Network has a public talk about orangutans in the Sumatran rainforest
>>>>> threatened by loggers, go listen and meet the people involved. If
>>>>> there?s
>>>>> a
>>>>> screening of Power of Two, an award-winning movie about cystic
>>>>> fibrosis
>>>>> and
>>>>> discussion with the producers, go to the movie and stay for the
>>>>> discussion.
>>>>> If your local open space preserve has a family day with guided
>>>>> bird-watching
>>>>> tours, go check it out and hear from the guides about how they are
>>>>> building
>>>>> more public access trails.
>>>>> There are so many public events open to all who are curious to learn
>>>>> more
>>>>> about social causes. Say yes to these invitations.
>>>>> Volunteer with a Nonprofit
>>>>> Do you have an interest in children?  Volunteer with CASA, a national
>>>>> nonprofit, to visit a young child near you who is placed in foster
>>>>> home.
>>>>> Get
>>>>> a huge smile from your foster-child when you offer to take them to see
>>>>> a
>>>>> movie.
>>>>> Do you want to learn more about health on the frontlines? Volunteer at
>>>>> the
>>>>> local free clinic that serves the poorest of our society?help people
>>>>> get
>>>>> screened for high blood pressure or get training to be a peer
>>>>> counsellor
>>>>> to
>>>>> at-risk young people.
>>>>> Do you have skills such as writing or design? You?ve got a valuable
>>>>> skill
>>>>> that almost any nonprofit could use. Take action and call them up even
>>>>> if
>>>>> you don?t see a volunteer posting.   Ask them if you could help them
>>>>> with
>>>>> their email newsletter, brochure for an upcoming fundraiser, or their
>>>>> website.
>>>>> Bono was asked about how he became an activist for Africa.  Once I
>>>>> visited
>>>>> Africa, he said, ?I saw it, I heard it and I felt it.?
>>>>> You will gain knowledge and confidence. By living fully?not turning
>>>>> away
>>>>> from things that are different, complex, messy, intense?you will find
>>>>> how
>>>>> you are capable of doing meaningful work.
>>>>> Keep asking yourself along the way: ?What is the most important thing
>>>>> in
>>>>> the
>>>>> world I could be working on right now, and if I?m not, why aren?t I??

>>>>> Hi all,
>>>>>
>>>>> Thanks for sharing this, Darian. I will second the comment that the
>>>>> division?s Twitter is a great source of information on all things
>>>>> community
>>>>> service.
>>>>>
>>>>> I really like this article, and I think its author has some really
>>>>> good
>>>>> things to say about getting involved in service and finding out what
>>>>> you
>>>>> truly enjoy doing. The main thing that struck me is the point the
>>>>> author
>>>>> made about being open to new experiences and just getting out there
>>>>> and
>>>>> trying something you think you?re interested in, even if you don?t
>>>>> think
>>>>> you
>>>>> know enough about how to do it. Often you do end up learning the most
>>>>> valuable information through emersion. I know this is one of the
>>>>> biggest
>>>>> struggles I?ve had personally in getting more involved in service. I?m
>>>>> a
>>>>> very structured person. It?s a lot easier for me to go and do
>>>>> something
>>>>> if I
>>>>> know exactly how it?s going to go and what is going to be asked of me.
>>>>> What
>>>>> this author is saying, though, is that the key is just to get out
>>>>> there
>>>>> and
>>>>> you will learn what you need to learn as you go along, and that?s
>>>>> okay.
>>>>> I
>>>>> know thinking like this makes me a little nervous, and I would imagine
>>>>> that
>>>>> this fear of the unknown is what ultimately leads many blind people to
>>>>> decide not to serve because we worry that we won?t know how to perform
>>>>> the
>>>>> tasks that are needed. This article stresses that the key is just to
>>>>> say
>>>>> yes. Don?t think too much about it. In full disclosure, I?m not saying
>>>>> that
>>>>> this is easy. I?ll be the first to say that it?s certainly not for me,
>>>>> but I
>>>>> think it?s advice worth trying. And what better time to try than
>>>>> during
>>>>> the
>>>>> 75 Days of Service, when there?s a whole group of people there to
>>>>> support
>>>>> you and talk through any worries or challenges you might have.
>>>>>
>>>>> The author asks us how we move from passively skimming headlines to
>>>>> caring
>>>>> to actively doing. This is a question I?ve wondered about for some
>>>>> time,
>>>>> and
>>>>> it?s why I love what we?re doing with the 75 Days of Service because
>>>>> we?re
>>>>> not just talking about what issues are important to us and what we?d
>>>>> like
>>>>> to
>>>>> do about them or what we wish someone else would do about them; we?re
>>>>> actually making plans and taking an active role in giving back to our
>>>>> communities.
>>>>>
>>>>> The following passage from the article resonated with me the most: ?By
>>>>> living fully?not turning away from things that are different, complex,
>>>>> messy, intense?you will find how you are capable of doing meaningful
>>>>> work.?
>>>>> This speaks to me not just as a person who wants to get more involved
>>>>> in
>>>>> service, not just as a blind person, but as a person in general, and I
>>>>> think
>>>>> it?s something we can all take to heart in our lives.
