In Namitete, Malawi, the best way to get anywhere is to hire a bicycle taxi. Young men from the village drive them and they've built a seat onto the back of their bike on which you sit and hold on!
This was our "Change the World" event...a "FREE GARAGE SALE!"
Attached are some pics of the event...it was so well received. We met lot a
really great people. We had twelve long tables that were "FULL" of items
donated by Church Members and friends...plus larger items in the middle of
the tables on the ground. People could not believe it was free...they tried
to give us money, but we told them this was our gift to the community, and
told them about the "Change the World" project. Most of the people that came
really benefitted from the project; you could tell they really needed the
items...we'll do this again. We even met some people that work construction
on the new ExxonMobil project in Hawkins that wanted to donate items to the
sale...we'll catch them on our next sale. BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS, BLESSINGS!
It was cold and windy, but a great day. We had two small boxes of items
leftover...which we took to Hawkins Helping Hand.
Thank you,

I'm visual. Not having a whiteboard was seriously curbing my creativity. So I got one today. Now I'm ready to describe the plans that will change the world.

Please see attached photos from St. Matthew's UMC in Madison, MS.
These photos were taken during our Stop Hunger Now food packing day,
where members of St. Matthew's and the community packed 40,000 meals
in an effort to end world hunger. Working with Stop Hunger Now, an
international hunger-relief agency, St. Matthew’s members and
community volunteers directly impacted the lives of thousands for only
25 cents per meal. (The church raised $10,000 for Stop Hunger Now
during a special Lent offering.) Stop Hunger Now coordinates the
distribution of food and other lifesaving aid to children and families
in countries all over the world.
Please let me know if you need additional photos or if you have any questions.
Thanks,

As part of the workshop segment regarding making connections about the impact of our choices, these volunteers had to stand barefoot on top of a milk crate for several minutes, to simulate the conditions that battery hens must endure.

As part of the discussion on The World Becomes What You Teach: What is Education For?, IHE President Zoe Weil led the audience through an analysis of the "True Price" of a fast food burger, looking at its impacts on ourselves, other people, nonhuman animals and the planet.
Minister Charles Sousa launches the 5th annual ChangeTheWorld Youth Volunteer Challenge in Mississauga.
Le ministre Charles Sousa lance le 5e Défi annuel des jeunes bénévoles de l’Ontario, ChangeLeMonde, à Mississauga.
On May 7th around 30 people of all ages helped out in Glidden, Iowa (the
littlest helpers stayed at the park to pick up sticks and plant flowers in
pots to take around). Our church took the lead on the event this year,
though members of other churches (including the Presbyterian pastor), and
girl scout leader were involved with us in the planning. The children and
youth cleaned a lot of windows in the homes of elderly community members,
helped a 99 year old man plant his garden, cleaned flower beds and yards.
The adults cleaned gutters, cut down a bush that was blocking the main
entrance to a house, then replanted limited growth decorative bushes in its
place, fixed a set of crumbling porch stairs, and placed a grab bar to
assist a woman who had nothing to hang onto when opening her outside door.
After spending the morning working we had a meal for the volunteers and the
elderly people we had helped. The day was an amazing witness to the love of
Christ that exists in this community! Talk has already begun about next year
focusing on bathroom safety for the elderly.
Peace and blessings,

Sinclair & Sinclair vs Sinclair - A new feature here in the pages of Art Young's Good Morning!
CAPTION: "The shops show the same standardized, nationally advertised wares; the newspapers of sections three thousand miles apart have the same “syndicated features”; the boy in Arkansas displays just such a flamboyant ready-made suit as is found on just such a boy in Delaware, both of them iterate the same slang phrases from the same sporting-pages, and if one of them is in college and the other is a barber, no one may surmise which is which." - Sinclair Lewis in his novel Main Street (1920)
The Daily Good Morning (To Laugh That We May Not Weep) - Sinclair & Sinclair vs Sinclair
We introduce today...
• Sinclair Lewis - Grand satirist, capitalism criticizer, novelist, short story writer and playwright - Nobel Prize for Literature winner, author of such acclaimed novels as Main Street, Babbitt, Arrowsmith, and the prophetic for our times, It Can't Happen Here.
• Upton Sinclair - Prolific novelist against capitalism, dedicated Socialist, muckraker for Appeal to Reason - the magazine known for publishing the writings of Eugene V. Debs & Mother Jones & Helen Keller, author of The Jungle, The Brass Check, Oil!, The Flivver King, and Pulitzer winner.
• Sinclair Broadcasting Group - The media company in the news for having news anchors in over one hundred stations read the exact same script about "real journalism" and "fake news".
