Re: What would you do with 7 Million volunteers?
Motivate, organize, empower.
Write letters to the editor in the local newspapers encouraging volunteers to look around their community and find the parts that are crumbling, that are weak, that are hidden in shadow, that are dying. Help provide opportunities for building, strengthening, casting light, and reviving. Pick an interest or a hobby or a dream and go from there, finding the need. We have a great many needs in our society and our communities.
What better way to dare to dream than to offer our services and put them to use. Many don't have to look any further than their next door neighbor, the school around the corner, the nursing home down the block, or the creek that we cross, filled with garbage.
Motivate, organize, empower.
