Pittsburgh Against Hunger in Haiti
This Saturday our church, West Hills Christian Church, conducted our 2nd Annual Pittsburgh Against Hunger in Haiti (PAHH) event. During this event, we bagged food for the hungry in Haiti, one of the world’s poorest nations. And to add insult to injury, they have been recently hit by 4 Katrina-like hurricanes, devastating 60% of their crops! The food we bagged was a simple, yet highly noutrish bag containing rice, soy, chick boullioun for flavoring, assorted Vitamins, & dehydrated vegetables. This package was developed by some of the world’s leading food scietists. We worked with Kids Against Hunger and the Lifeline Christian Mission to make this happen. At the end of the day we sent over 100,000 meals to Haiti! What an awesome but more importantly, humbling experience! |

Well, Senator Obama won the election (if you were living under a rock). I can’t say that I’m too enthusiastic about our country’s decision. However, I won’t pour out my policy thoughts (unless you really want to hear them!). Though, I will make a few points regarding things I noticed.
One, I’m glad our country (for the vast majority of people) has been able to elect a bi-racial candidate to the land’s highest office. Well done America! Two, I’m glad to see that many people still hold to the traditional & conservative values that has defined America for always holding her virtues. This is defined through the many ballot referendums on social issues which were voted on across the individual states! Three, I believe it is evident that the Republican Party (or Republicanism), not conservatism, is what failed in this election. The message of conservatism was not broadcast well from the Republican Party’s lead candidates. I believe this to be true, not just through my observation of the campaign’s across the country, but more through individuals I’ve listened to over the past year, many I’ve known for years. Many of these people are young, extremelly bright, self-motivated, hard working, and morally stout. However, many of these people set aside these very ideals that I’ve come to know has defined them, many tentatively and with great contemplation, but all for a change that has the deep potential to change/shift this country in a direction many would not hope for. |
