    Orphanage Teens Learn to Express Themselves Through DJing #WATWB

    July 28, 2017 /

    Welcome to July’s installment of the We Are The World Blogfest, where we share positive stories on the last Friday of each month. The basic rules are: Keep the post below 500 words. Link to a human news story that shows love, humanity, and brotherhood and share an excerpt. No story is too big or small as long as it goes beyond religion and politics. Thank you to this month’s WATWB co-hosts:  Simon Falk, Roshan Radhakrishnan, Inderpreet Uppal, Damyanti Biswas and Sylvia Stein.    The Olon Orphanage makes regular appearances on this site (see all posts here). It is one of the happiest places I know. I love spending time there. I was thrilled to see this…

    #WATWB – Clean Drinking Water

    May 26, 2017 /

    This is my first post for the We Are The World Blogfest, which occurs on the last Friday of every month. I chose a story I wrote about a man providing clean drinking water to thousands in coastal Ecuador. A few weeks after the April 16, 2016 7.8 Ecuador earthquake, Tennessee pastor Gary Vance arrived in Puerto Lopez. He had a suitcase full of water filters and a plan – provide clean drinking water for those who needed it.

    We Are The World Blogfest

    May 25, 2017 /

    I will be participating in the We Are The World Blogfest on the last Friday of each month. What is the #WATWB? Social media and news in recent times has been filled with hate and negativity.
