I found a great example of going above and beyond one's title in helping the community. In this case it happens to be the elderly community, and this Social Worker is doing her best to provide the best care possible.

CENTRAL FALLS, R.I. If you were to assemble a city from scratch, you would need a few things to make this place of yours more than just a functioning municipality; to make it a community. The city of Central Falls, Rhode Island is in the process of not having a library that they can call their own. There is no place for kids to go and rent books, no place for high school kids to go and use the computers or have a quiet place for homework assignment, and no place for unemployed adults to have access to computers to look for employment. The building could be boarded up along with so many other building in the city. There are no funds to keep the building open and no money to pay the library staff. Volunteers have stepped up to staff the library on a few select days with only a few hours. This gives people the opportunity to at least have access to the library a few times a week. The people that have stepped up are not being paid and doing it all on their free time. It is nice to see that there are some people who believe in helping others and trying to make a difference in their community

The Mother's Day Walk for Peace began in 1996 for families who had lost their children to violence. On a day that we celebrate mothers and children, the Walk became a place for families and friends to feel support and love with thousands of others who pledge their commitment to peace.

Rashaun, are you going to walk? The expirence is amazing!!!! A few years ago, I was on the Board of Directors for the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute and Tina Chery and I have a relationship that spans many years. I was honored to be asked by her to serve on the board for around 2 years. I try and support the walk and her efforts every year. Last year my mother was very sick (dying) and it was a litttle too much for me to walk, but this year, I'll be there.
