Welcome, Wastelanders! I realize now that I didn't post anything last week. Whoops.
In other news, tensions are getting higher and higher over the issues with Syria. I mention this because this is news, though this is not the main purpose of the blog. I just feel I should bring it up at least once, that I do acknowledge the danger, though I won't go into my own opinion about the matter. The news has both sides covered.
I was recently informed about a non-profit organization, named Reagan's Journey. They are a group that give help to special needs children and adults, and they have a very interesting history. Reagan was a little girl who had birth complications. She was told that she would be a vegetable for the rest of her life. With a lot of effort from both her and her families, she was able to crawl, walk, and finally start Kindergarten this year. Stories like this give me hope that people do have goodness in them, and that all hope may not be lost.
If you know any caregivers for special needs children in the Kittanning Area, Reagan's Journey will be having a conference for them on September 21 at Harvest Community Church.
Tune in later in the week for more updates.
Signing off.
I thought I knew what I was getting into when I saw your title (great title, btw). Then I get a short announcement about a local charity that is neither "wasteland" or "news."
ReplyDeleteBy the end of the semester, I have to see a clear theme.
Also, always, always, always proof before you post.
On a positive note, it's great that you got started and you have a potentially interesting topic. Looking forward to seeing what you do with it!
