Hi Tess – Thank you so much for sharing this book. I will be ordering it very soon.

Many of us are fed up with the uneven distribution of wealth in the world. And it’s difficult to watch one part of the world waste so much on materialistic crap, while the rest are starving to death.

Trouble is, it’s difficult for those who really want to help, to even know where to start.

Over here in the UK, we have events like Comic Relief – they are good in that they raise awareness of the problems that folk in third world countries – and also some people in the UK are facing. And they also raise money.

But they don’t explain properly how people got into these difficulties to begin with and what can really be done to help them to help themselves. Many other events like Blog Action Poverty day are similar. Most participants mean well but their understanding is far too limited to empower other people to make a difference. And that’s a shame because many people really want to see a huge change in the world.

It sounds like this book will help a lot. Thank you.

Lance,
When I get excited I love to share!

Barbara,
I will share my experiences Barbara! The book was published in 2006 so these young men were ahead of the game.

Hi Tess - Kudos to you for volunteering. It would be wonderful if you share your experiences on your blog. I love the me to we concept. The subtitle of the book makes me wonder if with the economy the way it is, if more people will realize material things really don't hold much weight after all.

I was floored as well. I approached the topic by blogging about it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Wow. I am floored by the idea of tent cities. I don't even know how to approach the subject. Matthew Dryden’s last blog post..Preparing for the Night

Hi Tess,

I think this is wonderful. And I do, because it shows deep care – your desire to volunteer. What a wonderful gift that is to give – your time to another – freely.

“Me to We” – getting to ‘we’, to where WE all live in harmony…not just looking out for ourselves, really caring about all those around us. That is a great place to work toward. Thank you, Tess, for sharing about this book, and what it has meant to you.

Jannie,
Do enjoy the book, you winner! I got the Me to We book at the library. (Remember all of my ways I was cutting back!) So no knew books for me!

I can’t wait to hear the new CD and would gladly pay you for it. Because I didn’t win any contest!

Good for you looking into volunteering, Tess. There are so many ways we can get involved. I WILL be reading that book. Speaking of which, I was overjoyed to receive your book in my mailbox today! I will send you one of my CDs when it's ready. xo Jannie Funster’s last blog post..Seriously Weird!
