An Act of Selflessness and Kindness

How will you make a difference in a child's life today?
Have you ever done something completely selfless?  I still question this about myself.  Just because I have done something kind for someone does not mean, that I too, did not benefit from it.  I find the greatest joy in helping others.  Sometimes this makes helping others feel like a bit of a selfish endeavor.  What I've come to realize though, is that despite what I may gain in self esteem or love for myself by helping others, it does not take away from the help they've received.  I hurt no one by acting on my selfishness in this way, and using it to help others.  Do a selfish selfless thing today.  Please consider a donation to this great organization.  We've nearly met our goal, and I simply can't give up on the children of Hohoe before we do.  Please know that every dollar makes a huge difference to a child in Ghana.  A $1USD donation is about 2 Ghana Cedis which is more than many people make in one day when living in extreme poverty.  Imagine...your dollar could save a life!  Now that's a great act of selfish selflessness!
