I apologize for my absence but my entry this week (or for
last week if I find something for this week) is an important one trying to
bring together literally a billion people. The UN celebrates World Humanitarian
Day every year and this year they want all of us to get involved. They want
everyone to say ‘I Was Here’ on August 19th and commit to doing
something good, somewhere, for someone else. ‘I Was Here’ is inspired by
Beyonce’s song (I was at the taping for the music video that will air on the 19th!)
and is aiming at getting everyone involved and showing that those that are
abroad doing humanitarian work are awesome and great but that we can all help
and make a difference. Right now when you visit the website you can sign-up to
have a World Humanitarian Day message posted on your facebook or twitter on the
19th and then you can check out the ideas they have to help others
or come up with one of your own. For example, my sister and I make no-sew
fleece blankets and donate them so at the least I will definitely be making one
this Sunday. So take a look at the site, sign up, and then take part on Sunday!
Happy Humanitarian Day!
Until next week,
Annie
