A little late in posting about BLOGGERS FIGHTING HUNGER

but hunger does not go away

8.8% of our population is unemployed - that is 13.5 million people

15% is the true percentage of our population that is unemployed which includes those who have given up looking, and those who are still looking for jobs.

Please do something today...or tomorrow...or the next day.

The google doodle often sets the tone for my day...I like to figure out what the doodle is about, especially if it is not obvious.

Today is the 50th anniversary of JFK's inaugural address; a speech that I will never tire of listening too.

Yesterday, Sargent Shriver, first director of the Peace Corps, died.

So many good programs have grown out of the Peace Corps, all with the idea:

"Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can for your country" JFK

Peace Corps - " a program that builds peace and friendship by sending Americans to work for human dignity and human welfare in the third world." Peace Corps website

So today, a nod to the spirit of volunteerism.
