Hunger comes in many colors
It is true that once one becomes a humanitarian, you lose your sense of loyalty to man's divisions. You begin to see people as people. Of late, I have been emerging into something new, different and wonderful. Something in my life has stretched me far beyond where I ever thought that I would go. It has caused me to see things so differently. It has caused me to see things as they are. Once upon a time, I used to believe in causes that went no further than my own church, my own family or myself. My world was as small as a fishbowl and hunger only had one color. As I have been stretched by my place of employment to see disadvantage, hunger, cold, and illiterate in what ever color shows up on your front porch, I have become a humanitarian. I am not the champion for the black person. I am the champion for the down trodden and those denied the basics of living. I challenge you to begin to see beyond yourself and into a bright world that needs another King, another Ghandi, and another Mother Theresa.
