A Look Back — and Forward

Sure, the competition is greater (there are more charities), the technology is more advanced, costs are up, the donors are less trusting, there are more experts telling us what we should be doing or that what we are doing is all wrong, and the work requires even greater thinking and creativity than it did 10 years ago. But the need is still very great — people are, unfortunately, still hurting, still hungry, still sick and still dying for ridiculous, solvable reasons. Wrongs still need to be righted. Injustices still need to made just. Civil and human rights still need to be protected and fought for, and the past few weeks have made it very clear that there is still a great deal of change that needs to happen in our government.
