We Have the Power!

There is a Non-Profit organization called The Sparrow Club. This organization is founded when a Teacher in the Central Oregon area had a family problem. His Son had some medical issues and the medical bills were extensive. Their family didn't have the funds to pay for the bills. One day in his class, a young child came up to his teacher and asked how his son was doing, thereafter he gave his teacher a little money. Then the next day, a few more students came into the class and offered some of their money to him. This is how the Sparrow Foundation was dreamed up and came to life. This teacher, a few years later has started Sparrow clubs in many schools, and each school has children in their school that they sponsor along with businesses to help out with medical expenses. The cool idea behind this club is that the students of the school all work together to raise funds for one of their peers. Its also really cool because the way they raise funds is by doing volunteer work and getting pledges for each hour of volunteering. SO not only are they raising money for a family in need, they are also doing volunteer/good work for the community.

I have been in many schools where there are Sparrow clubs and a few of the Sparrow assemblies. In the sparrow assemblies the organizer gets up and talks about what the Sparrow club is and how the students at that school can help. They also show a Video Clip about the Sparrow Club using an illustration from Transformers. It talks about how we too have the power to change the world.
Well, I just watched Transformers again and it reminded me of the Sparrow Clubs illustration and made me wonder, what am I doing right now to change the world with the incredible power that I have. (We all have incredible power to change the world). As I think about this, I want you to ponder the same; What can you do to change the world you live in? How can YOU be a TRANSFORMER?
