Inspirations: "I Love Living Life. I Am Happy"

by John De Castro

It's pretty much accepted that people feel good when they do good by helping others and here at 1BuckStrong we're all about connecting people with opportunities to do good.  However, in order to do that we need to share with you the stories of hurting people and quite frankly that can get pretty depressing... So to counteract that effect we've decided to make sure we share inspirational stories with you as well.

Coincidentally (I don't believe in coincidences but anyways...) I saw a very inspiring video today at church, thanks to Pastor Ronnie.  As I sat there, inspired, I decided in my mind, "this has to be the video we share for our first Inspirations blog post." So take a few minutes and watch this video... Then go out and make a difference!

National Make A Difference Day 2011 (Monrovia)
by John De Castro

Everybody loves a hero, but it's time to bring some attention to the hero's much less appreciated and acknowledged side kick - Volunteers!  Volunteers may not have the chance to save a life everyday, but they intentionally donate their time and skills to make a difference in someone else's life.

Make A Difference Day is celebrated each year on the 4th Saturday in October. Created by USA WEEKEND Magazine, it is the nation’s largest day of volunteering, thanks to the passion of millions of people like you.  This year it was on October 22, 2011.

There were thousands and thousands of projects going on across the country and I just wanted to share what the youth of His Glory Community Church, and I did on the 500 blocks of E. Cypress Ave and E. Maple Ave.  Now go and make a difference every day!!
