You have been an inspiration to me when it comes to social justice and raising awareness for those who don't have a voice in this world. Thanks for all you do! I understand exactly what you are saying. I often feel the same way, especially when it comes to CrossWalks projects in Ethiopia. Alas, I am not Bono, I am not a lot of things, but I can keep trudging on doing my part, using my voice when I can. Hi Carrie, thanks for your comment.

You know that I love and admire U2 and also that I have been a local volunteer with ONE since CrossWalk had it's ONE meeting several years ago. I have found myself still concerned with Africa, but loosing the motivation to stay involved with the volunteering. I have found it extremely difficult to motivate others to be involved and stayed involved. I believe that ONE field organizers find it extremely hard to keep us as volunteers motivated too. Just as I experience highs and lows with my spirituality I have found that I experience highs and lows with some of my other passions as well. I'm hoping to bounce back soon or at least be able to find the balance between no involvement and too much involvement. ONE has had several victories for those living in poverty and I believe it will continue to in the future as well. When Bono and others like you remind us of the needs and help us keep a global perspective, it is good. We all have the power to create positive change, sometimes we just need the reminder to do what we can to make it happen. Thanks. You may see me volunteering for ONE at the Rose Bowl. Last I heard from the field organizer they were wanting the ONE Redlands group to possibly help with tabling. Crossing my fingers for another hand shake from Bono.
