POPSCharity begins at home Charity begins at home means that family members are more important than anyone else, and should be the focus of a person's efforts. Source I always thought this phrase meant that charity is learned at home. Teaching my daughter to cultivate and appreciate a charitable heart might be the most important thing I do. My parents truly blessed me growing up in a giving home.

POPSThere are more slaves today... ...than at any other time in history. Twice as many slaves as when Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Our Congress just apologized for historical slavery in America, but what about the people in slavery today? I urge you to go to the website www.callandresponse.com and find out ways to respond, ways to act. Here is an opportunity to create hope and change. It isn't called Awarenessism, it's called Activism. Let's act.

POPSHow a cow fights AIDS The family has passed on a heifer to another family and sold a second calf, also a female, for $600-an enormous windfall for a family in rural Rwanda.

Besides that, we are drinking milk at home every morning and evening." Visit the source for more information. Search Clipmarks for Heifer International for more clips on this organization.
