Better World Part 3

Spread the Love Foundation ~

We all have things lying around the house that we have but don't need. Maybe you have some old pans or utensils sitting in the back of your cupboard. These little things may mean nothing to you but have you ever thought that someone people don't even have things like that because they simply just cannot afford it. Spread the Love Foundation works to get people to find these unnecessary items in their house and get them to donate it. We will then distribute it to people who are in need of these specific items.

I am very passionate about my organization and what we plan to do because I am grateful for my privileged life and just want to give back and help those who need it. I was fortunate enough to grow up with more than enough. More than enough pots and pans, more than enough pens and crayons, and definitely more than enough clothes. I have so many school supplies from when I was in elementary and middle school that I have no use for anymore. If there was a foundation that would collect them and give them to someone who wanted it, I feel like that would be so great since it would be a waste if I just threw them away.

This organization is unique from others because it doesn't just focus on one thing. You see food, clothes, shoes drives etc.. but there are no organizations that focus on things that you don't really think about. There's stuff lying around the house that people don't want anymore but are still usable and there needs to be a place that collects this stuff to distribute to others.

Anima Mundi Development Partners should support this organization because some of the main issues in the world today is people's lack of compassion for others. With this organization around people will see that they don't have to throw away the stuff they don't want and they will start thinking about other people and want to help out more often. When you know you're making a difference in someone else's life it makes you feel better.

First Step to Making a Better World 

In the world we live in today, I believe one of the biggest issues is that most people are selfish and only care about what is going on in their own lives. Although it is not on the news, we know that there are many people suffering in the world; children starving, people living on the streets, etc. I'm not saying that everyone should give up everything they have to help these people out but if people cared just a little and made a small effort every once in a while, the world would be a much better place, with compassion.

To start off, I find it that some days I don't have anything to do and I just sit at home and watch TV. If I would just go outside and find a way to help someone, maybe volunteer my free time it would be nice. Now I'm not trying to make up excuses for myself but if I had a more consistent schedule I would probably have done this. I believe that people should think this way and just try to see what they could do to maybe make a difference in someone's life. I love the idea that everyone wants to help and feed the homeless on Christmas, but why not try to do something like that throughout the year instead of just one day out of the year. It would probably mean a lot more to them than for yourself. Also, little things that you don't even think or care about. Instead of leaving them around the house and never touching it or throwing it away, maybe you could go and donate it. Maybe once a year my family will go and clean out our closets. The clothes we get rid of are not worn out, maybe they just don't fit or are not trendy anymore. These things that we don't want, other children would love. Just like chapter 1 in the blue sweater, something that could mean nothing to you could mean a whole lot more to someone else.

So everyone should really just start thinking about others a little more.

Malibu Wine Safari

I recently went to the Malibu Wine Safari in Malibu to do wine tasting since Napa is too far.

First off, you have to buy your tickets online. If it is a special/ important day, you should order them early since they do sell out. I got tickets for Friday at 10am in March. At first I thought 10am was WAY to early for wine tasting but I actually feel like it's the perfect time. The weather was perfect because it was a little chilly, but when you start tasting the wine it gets a little hotter and the sun also starts to come out.

We took a huge safari cruiser that fit around 30 people and first stopped at the animals. Here we got to feed donkeys, horses, llamas and bison. (They really love taking selfies).


   

It was $65 for this whole part including two parts of wine tasting. The first part was three white wines and the second part was three red wines. All six wines were very good and very sweet. It wasn't too hard and they give you seconds if you want more of a certain one.

 

They included these little snacks with the red wines as well. We were able to see the whole vineyard which was really nice.

I also paid an extra $30 to see and feed Stanley the giraffe. 



The whole tour lasted about an hour and a half to two hours. Overall it was very fun and if you don't want to see Stanley, the wine tasting part was worth the $65. I'm not sure if I would pay $30 for Stanley again but I obviously had to instagram this last picture since I did pay $30 for it. :)
