I’m getting anxious with my youth center plans, and I have a feeling I’m not the only one. Though its not official, and most people here don’t have a clue of what I’m about to embark upon, I think the feeling of something new must be brewing in the air.
Lately at the Food Distribution more [...]

Today, I’m over here as a GUEST BLOGGER! Yep, that’s right….my first gig as a guest blogger!
Not only am I excited for this cool opportunity, but I’m even more excited about WHY I was asked to be the guest. Here’s a little preview:
Do you remember life back in elementary school? (Some of you might have [...]
Hand of Hope
Posted in In the News, Lets Change our World, tagged abortion, Babies, Fetus, Hope, Surgery on September 1, 2009 | 4 Comments »
On their site, (in)courage asked, What Hope looks like in our lives. I was going to sit this one out, but then I received the following email from my aunt with a story that I could not NOT write about. Even though I have no connection whatsoever to these people, THIS is what HOPE looks [...]
DODGEBALL: Crossing Cultural Borders
Posted in Lets Change our World, Life on the Outside, tagged Arab, Children, Culture, Dodgeball, English Camp, Games, Nazareth on July 10, 2009 | 8 Comments »
This week I learned that no matter what culture you come from, we all have one thing in common: kids love dodgeball!
This week during the Nazareth English Camp, one of the American games I taught the kids to play was Medic (an upscale version of dodgeball). I wasn’t sure how it would go over [...]
Imagine
Posted in Lets Change our World, tagged Food Distribution, Sudanese, Travel, War on May 19, 2009 | 9 Comments »
Imagine growing up in a country full of war and distress.
Imagine leaving your country in hopes of a life for you and your children.
Imagine traveling almost 2,000 miles across deserts, borders, trials, and dangers surrounding you in order for that life.
Imagine finally reaching your destination, only to be put in jail in order to receive [...]
Homeless, but not brainless
Posted in Lets Change our World, Life on the Outside, tagged City life, Homeless, Tel Aviv on April 6, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Today when I was walking down Ben Yehuda St. I saw something that made me uncomfortable, yet smile a bit inside.
Seeing homeless people asking for money is nothing new; its a sad situation to say the least, which encompasses the city. Today, though, I saw something that I haven’t seen before. There sitting right next [...]
Inauguration thoughts

Last night was the first time in my life I have ever watched a presidential inauguration. I know, sad…but in my defense I really haven’t had a TV since living outside the US. I must say, I was pleasantly moved by the whole thing. Its amazing how a country like ours, who [...]
Mediterranean Monday: Ashdod

Today’s Med Monday will be a bit different; I am going to tell my account of our trip to Ashdod yesterday. If you haven’t been following the news, Ashdod is one of the cities in Israel that has been being bombarded with missiles from Gaza for over a week now. Its located south of Tel [...]

NBC has finally posted the video from the shelter I am helping out at. I couldn’t get the video to work so click here and you’ll see the heading Tel Aviv: A Door of Hope for Israeli Prostitutes: http://worldblog.msnbc.msn.com/
If you look closely you’ll see me lurking around (I’m wearing a black shirt and a [...]
Only one of many
Posted in Lets Change our World, tagged Food, Homeless, Street life, Tel Aviv on November 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
She is only one of many. She has a past. She has a family. She has a story. Yet, here she is living on the streets of Tel Aviv. Homeless. Desolate.
She was a Jew living in Iran, experiencing the hatred thrown her way every day. (Can you only imagine that scenario?) She wanted a [...]
Quick note…
Posted in Lets Change our World, tagged Making a Difference, NBC, News, Prostitution, Tel Aviv on November 18, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Just a quick update to let everyone know that NBC (that’s right, the peacock station) came to the shelter today to do a segment about the work we are doing here in Tel Aviv. This is HUGE for the shelter and for future funding! They will be running the excerpt on the NBC website under [...]
A day unlike any other
Posted in Lets Change our World, Life on the Outside, tagged Drugs, Tel Aviv, Prostitution, sex trafficking on November 14, 2008 | 4 Comments »
As I walked down the dark, dreary alley, I was preparing myself for a day in my life that would be the beginning of something monumental. Each door I passed was marked with a red X, significant in this ‘red light district’ of the city. My mind overloaded with images, questions, and of who, what, [...]

If there were ever any doubts about where I’ve been, and where I’m going check this out……
This is a table runner a friend of my mom, Brendasue Warford, made her a while back (I think it was when I was actually in Brazil). At that time Africa and Israel had not even come into play [...]

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. There are pushes all over for women to get tests, support the cause, and participate. I don’t have any family members who have suffered from Breast Cancer, but I do have friends who are survivors. I think its awesome to see women coming together for the cause and even [...]
