Profit Machines To Help Improve The World!

Hi, guys (that's a midwest thing, I've heard) Really I mean girls, ladies, etc. What is your preference? So I have Sirius radio in my car for a while and I love it. I'm a bit of a spiritual seeker (actually, more than a bit). I have gotten to hear many of my favorites on the radio while I'm driving. I also listen to progressive talk radio, and outQ radio station. I find it all so interesting, sometimes I sit in my car and listen to the radio longer than I should. I don't do it at home, but definitely in the car. I got a new car this year and it happens to be a Subaru Outback - that brings the jokes about Martina Navratilova, and the fact that Lesbians and Subarus were associated. Although those days are long gone. But Subaru is about outdoor lovers, animal lovers, environment lovers, people of a different thinking. I don't know why, but it is, and it fits. Although I'd prefer that Prius gas mileage.
How about you? What lights your fire? Today on the radio I learned about a program called Wine Into Water which is an engineer trying to help third world countries develop their wells or fix their wells so they have access to clean water - to become self-sustaining. People built the wells, but when they broke, the people had to again walk miles. He is helping them learn to fix them. I also heard about Care which is about empowering girls and women in third world countries, which I love. I was so impressed with the 3 women from underprivileged countries who won Nobel Peace Prizes for the changes they made for women. Impressive. I am working on these internet money-raising programs to enable me to have more money to help pay off debt and to help support making the world a better place. I also am a school counselor and I'm very concerned about the young people who feeled bullied at school for being gay or lesbian. It is truly a travesty. I would hope to develop some programs to help with that. Michelle Bachman's anti-gay philosophy coincides with an increase in the number of teen suicides in her district, along with her husband's anti-gay therapy - taking the gay away! Yikes. A second program which is about people helping each other make money to use for good is called Empower Network. Check It Out!!
