susanne...my best friend from high school (love her!) is part of an organization call "challenge day"...
"Challenge Day's mission is to provide youth and their communities with experiential workshops and programs that demonstrate the possibility of love and connection through the celebration of diversity, truth and full expression.
Our 6 1/2-hour Challenge Day program is designed for 100 students. Our program is created to build connection and empathy, and to fulfill our vision that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved, and celebrated."
of course...anything that is targeted for our young people...always tugs at my heart...and this organization is unbelievable in what they do for our youth...
recently...they started a tv show on mtv called "if you really knew me" (airs on tues evenings 11 pm)
my first suggestion when you watch...have at least one box of tissue available...it is a chance for the youth to speak up and out of what is really going on in their heads and hearts...truly an eye opening experience...and whether you are a participant of the day...or an observer by watching the show...there is no way...you cannot be impacted...
in a world where people just want to fit it...to be noticed...to be loved...challenge day is helping...one kid at a time...
