Off Topic / Please Vote for this Charity
« on: August 12, 2015, 05:47:46 am »
There has probably never been a topic like this one in the history of this clan but I request your help from the broad community my friends, my fellow clan members, and VC:MP players.
In Jamaica currently, there's a competition called "Story of Excellence" where the president, CEO, leaders etc. write a short summary of how over the course of a charity's/community organization's life have impacted the lives of others in a positive manner.
Such are the stories is from my friends named Jordan Bennett. He is the founder of the "Feeding of the 5000" Outreach Foundation. He made his charity at age 17 back in 2012 and his goal was well...to feed 5000 people. Over the 3 years he has passed that goal and has fed at least 6000 Jamaicans across the island. His highly noble efforts at such an age has made him iconable figure and he has been awarded the Prime Ministers Youth Award in the category of Youth in Service as well as other awards.
If you ask me, personally I don't like the idea of having to win a sponsor but such is the way of this world where no matter how noble, how selfless and caring you are, money determines your actions & impact in some way but I digress. I ask that all of you who have Facebook accounts, take the time to vote for his story so that he has a chance of winning the monetary funds he needs to keep up the charity; share and spread the word if you wish. Your help is greatly appreciated.

I have one final word though regarding this and this is especially for the younger folks in the community currently. I've been here for a lot of years and the one thing I can assure you as a life lesson is that that old saying of what goes around comes around, you reap what you sow? Be kind and virtuous to everyone you meet because you never know when or how you're going to need their help. Even if you don't receive any help, be humble & never stop because good does come back if you hold the faith.
I thank you.
