In the wake of tragedy on the campus community of Virginia Tech, the Plant Hope initiative becomes even more relevant and important. We must help and provide hope to communities, families and students. We can do this through taking time out to talk, give a hug, a smile, and a thank you. Hope doesn't cost much and goes a longer way than dope. Everyone can plant hope from teachers, students, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers. We will still the hope from a child, there is no future or consequence for them to think in their moment of chaos that leaves a sustained depression in the soil of the community. So if we to grow a future we must plant hope. Otherwise weeds will surely grow indeed. Hope means helping other people everyday.
This Saturday we will kick off the Plant Hope pilot initiative at McKinley Tech High School starting at 9AM in Washington, DC. To learn more and become a volunteer register at www.postcardsfromkatrina.com. Send questions to tambra at planthope dot org.
