"You will find, as you look back on your life, that the moments that stand out are the moments when you have done things for others." - Henry Drummond |
Facebook is indeed a wonderful thing. Not only does it reconnect people but it helps the community in a lot of ways. I saw this invite from my Facebook, I believe that this is indeed a cause worth sharing and spending time on.
