Day 3: For the first time, I visited the new and very lovely Ronald McDonald House that serves as a temporary housing facility for families and their children who are undergoing medical treatment, typically from out of town. The tour blew me away with the neat Ronald McDonald room that even included a large M headboard (insanity) and some of the best and most colorful paintings I have ever seen. The facility was very cozy with a fireplace, sofas, low lighting, a clean kitchen, and well laid out dining area. There were even kids' playrooms downstairs and a library. I was truly impressed with this building and high quality is definitely apparent here. As for volunteering, we made St. Patty's Day necklaces and decorated mugs. Yes, I made a PCW mug. Don't judge me! We also provided dinner for the kids and families. I hope and pray that these children have a safe and speedy recovery. This is for sure a place I will be returning to soon!
Hello there friends, thank you for stopping by my blog! I 'm Suzanne and I'm the creator and founder of Project Change The World. I began this movement from the childhood dream that I could make the world a better place. Yes, I know, most children dream of being astronauts or rock stars but I've always been slightly different than most. Nonetheless, my dream of living life to the fullest by making a difference in the world was fully realized back in May 2010. I was tired of sitting back and helplessly watching bad things happen to innocent folks. I was sick of not doing anything about it. I decided it was time for a change. I scribbled some notes and ideas into my composition books and began the planning and research phase. Shortly later, PCW began to come to life. I realized that if no one else was going to do something like this, someone had to. Someone had to stand up for what's right. Even though I don't like scary movies and people have let me down one too many times, I decided that it was time to be brave and step out of my comfort zone. I thought of all the greats (MLK, Rosa Parks, Lincoln, Einstein, Washington, etc.) and realized that if they too had been afraid, where would our world be today? So here I am writing this, in hopes that one day others will step up too and join the movement to save lives. My ultimate goal is to live in a world where kids can safely play on the streets, people are strong enough to do the right thing despite temptation, no child really is left behind because they are our future, nature is preserved, no animal is abused. cancer is cured, teen girls don't starve themselves, and so on. Some will call it all naive and unrealistic but anything great in life never comes easy. I dare to do what others deem impossible. I want to live in a world where good deeds and spontaneous, warm-hearted gestures mixed with strong yet gentle love are everywhere to be found. Don't you? But wanting is not enough; it's time to do something with that dream. We must enable, empower, save, help, restore, give, heal, and change. Join me?
