In early April of this year I told you about a homeless girl named Brianna and how I was able to assist her by donating a domain name, hosting, and the setup, configuration, and maintenance of her site, The Girls Guide to Homelessness. I was moved to take action after watching a series of videos from InvisiblePeople.tv that features interviews with homeless people from across America. I’m extremely happy to report to you today that, among many great accomplishments, Brianna has earned the opportunity to blog on ELLE.com. You can see a couple of her posts here and here.
If you’ve been wondering how you can give back to your community and make a difference, I urge you to just do one thing. No matter how simple it may seem to you, your act of kindness CAN affect others. Whatever your expertise, whatever your passion, share it freely with others and it WILL make a difference.

Kudos to you!!!
We ourselves attempt to make a little difference in India, and an American lady we met there summed up your point so well as… “the power of one”.
We do it (like you?) not because of some sort of patronising, high-minded, concept of ‘charity’ but merely because we saw a problem and felt we could just do something about it.
The world needs more people like you who look ‘outwards’ rather than ‘inwards’, with no expectation of immediate reward – we find that comes from the satisfaction of seeing the results of our little catalyst injection and the unexpected blossoming of a person/project that can result, just as you saw with Brianna.
Get out there people!!!
