The Make a Wish Foundation made a strong impression on me when I heard of it a few decades ago. I actually had a good friend go on a family trip  to Disneyland with her cancer-stricken young daughter thanks to a spirited effort by one dynamic woman and others. That took the edge off the sad news that the young girl likely would not live long, and she died about twenty years ago.

Learning about "one day of peace throughout the world' as advocated by a 'man with a mission' and his supporters to get the UN to adopt a resolution claiming 24 hours on Sept 21st each year as an International Peace Day (one for a respite from war so medicine and such could be delivered in strife-torn lands, and for valiant efforts to be made in each town, state and country to promote peace such as is done at The World Peace Sanctuary in Amenia NY year-round.)

There's much to learn and grow from by taking part in small initiatives and larger ones as one is able.

To the Editor:
There's hardly time to tell everyone about the largest March for Climate Change Awareness in NYC on Sunday, September 21st. But no one should miss out on this momentous event planned to encourage UN leaders to prioritize the need to set goals to keep carbon dioxide (CO-2) levels in check (ideally at 350 parts per million, see more on www.350.org.
 
 Every state, town and school deserves recognition for rearing not only successful students but activists who can protect the environment with laws and practices to reign in corporate and political tactics that could create

On occassion my monetary funds run short of what I'd like to see unfold in my life. I ask the divine to create and fulfill a day for me. I used to think I was to request that the divine deliver a Plan for the Day, but upon re-reading www.drsha.com I see he actually suggests to ask for the whole day (planned and fulfilled as part of the bigger picture of living and breathing successfully and somewhat mindfully during  the opportunities and lessons that are part of the day).
