What charitable event in your life are you most proud of DU?
Edited on Mon Nov-22-10 10:24 PM by applegrove
I helped a woman start a learning disabilities resource centre. I built her a webpage she used for 7 years (I've only just given up managing the webpage). Ten years on she get upwards of 70 low income kids a year to read books like crazy. It was mostly her and her daughter doing all the work (I've lived in another city most of the time) but i am so proud of them and thrilled that I have such good eggs and good works in my life.

4. I bought a homeless guy a hoagie last night. Not earht shattering, but seemed like the
right thing to do at the time. AmeriCorps for two years would probably be my big one.
