the work of play, the play of work
A master in the art of living
draws no sharp distinction
between his work and his play,
his labor and his leisure,
his mind and his body,
his education and his recreation.
He hardly knows which is which.
He simply pursues his vision
of excellence through whatever
he is doing and leaves
others to determine
whether he is working or playing.
To himself, he always seems
to be doing both.
-French writer Chateaubriand
Peace Corp's 50th Anniversary
Sargent Shriver passed away a few weeks ago, before seeing the 50th birthday of the organization that he helped to create. If you want to honor his legacy, or support existing volunteers, or to promote the work of the Peace Corps, or to build peace through small projects around the world, I fully support doing it
here.
Peace Corps Partnership grants (which I have touted before) allow you to choose the project you want to support and 100% of your donation goes directly to that project. They are small and they all have at least 25% of local community support usually through in-kind labor or supplies, so your financial contribution goes a long way.
Peace be with you.
