2007 National & Global Youth Service Day
“Creating Bridges Among the Youth of our Community” -2007 National & Global Youth Service Day in Kingston, New York- On April 21, 2007, the Sharing the Blessing ministry organized the 3rd annual National & Global Youth Service Day project in Kingston, New York. More than 100 people attended, with a predominance of youth between the ages of 16 and 26.
‘Sharing the Blessing’ emerges from the belief that every human being has a unique gift enshrined in his individuality like a rough diamond stone. That gift is of greatest value one carries. It is a blessing not to keep for oneself but to share with others. Knowing that we have such precious gift within, no matter who we are, where we live, of what’ s our present situation, knowing that such gift is to be shared in order to give joy to oneself and to others, that’s the door towards a world of one big family.
