We Care to Share – Medical Mission to Haiti

(January 2013) We Care to Share (WCTS) is a non sectarian, 100% volunteer, mission of doctors, nurses, dentists, pharmacists and lay people serving the needs of remote villages in Southwestern Haiti. Led by Father Yves Francois under the 501c(3) of his church, WCTS formed following the disastrous 2010 earthquake. Since then we have provided 10 medical relief missions to the village and will travel again in January, 2015. Team members come from throughout the US, Canada, and England and cover all their expenses of participation.

Recent missions have been supported by Rotary Clubs within District 7610 in Virginia. Spearheaded by Dr. Sarah John, a Rotarian in the Rotary Club of Centreville & Chantilly, grant applications have been successfully funded for the last two years with another grant application pending.

The Icarus Deception: How High Will You Fly?

The Icarus Deception(Jan. 10, 2013) I love Seth Godin books. It’s interesting how he has evolved and adapted over the years in his writing. He talks a little about that in this new book. He makes a compelling case for paying attention to the new connection economy. I see what he’s talking about because I work in the field of social media consulting and teaching people to connect (rather than advertise, market and sell) is what I do. I also embrace his concept of “making art” – which is a concept label that works for the idea of creating something original from what we are passionate about. There is value to being an original and creating what is original. I highly recommend this book. I found it very motivating.
