Often we have what we need right in front of us.  We go searching high and low and all we needed to do was stop searching and observe.  We have great resources such as clean water while in Russia people must carry distilled water home from work nightly because their rivers are polluted.  Now there are people stranded and unable to travel due to our earth challenges and quakes.  How can we ease their plight?  Would someone be able to bake cookies and hand them out to the children at the airports or another purchase inexpensive games to pass around.  Small gestures create a difference and you may gain a friend.  Mentor or tutor a child unable to get to their school classes.  Offer a blanket or pass out used books to those waiting in various hotels or again the airport.....Teach others how to respond to a disaster and to become self-sufficient for up to 96 hours following one.  Assist and foster interpersonal development and individual empowerment, demonstrate chair excercises or movements that can be done in a small area.  Connect to the many whom are neglected by regulations and are stranded.   It does take a whole villiage to raise us up, let it begin with you.
