It is my concern that a lot of the homeless need socks. A lot of them wear socks for weeks and their feet get infected with fungus. If we can all put in a little effort, we can make a big difference to each individual we help, even if it means giving a pair of sock away.

In late April I started voluntarying with Home For The Games - www.homeforthegames.com. We work to facilitate home stays and rentals for visitors coming to Vancouver during the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Our home stay hosts offer great rooms to the nearly 300,000 people that will be coming to this major international event and give half of their 'rent' to Covenant House and Streetohome Foundation. We are actively raising funds to help Vancouver's most vulnerable citizens and I beleive making real change in Vancouver.

Join us - we're always looking for volunteers.
Join us - we're actively seeking home stays.
Help us - please tell your friends and neighbours about this opportunity to do well and do good.

We live in a brainwashed society. Just look anywhere and you'll see ads. Consume, consume, consume. Democracy is reduced to a pacifying term. (were you asked to vote re: our troops going to Afghanistan? Cutbacks to seniors programs, mental health?) Capitalism doesn't work unless someone is exploited. Frankly I'm sick of  living for self and I'd like to see people worse off than me get a "no strings" break
