Chewonki.org Celebrates Covid-19 Heroes including Callum Becvarik

Callum Becvarik is a heroic high school volunteer who answered the call to help in Gallup NM for 12-hour shifts (the night shifts included.) I was concerned about the intense hours this young man was putting in (and still am hoping he can get good support to rebalance his metabolism and sleep quotient, God bless him.)

I heard of his work through the Chewonki.org website and encourage people to appreciate what youth in their 2nd or 3rd year of high school are pursuing voluntarily (and sometimes without getting credit but I hope to figure that out soon so I'm clear about what factors into such

Smiles and Shout Out to Shelly at Amazon: Thanks for helping me feel okay that I was not the only one without an account

What If you were to pick up a pen and paper today and 'see what comes along' with a prompt of the Acorns to Oaks theme, the month we're in, the times we're in...

As tricky as it is to have JWs and such... they have been a helpful model for showing us all that We Have the Freedom to do these things in this country...So let's not throw the JWs out with the bath water.

That said, we could all give a lot more thought to what every person would need potentially because Not Everyone Knows What they need, what's available, how to ask for help. what and who they will really get with some outreach of longterm outreach and interactions.
