Related, in a way...

One of the questions we sometimes get at OMB is why we spend our time working for people so far away from  us.  There are a couple different answers that we can go into at some point, but what I wanted to share today is that while our focus may be on people who live far away, the work we do still impacts our people, in our community.

One of the things we talk about when we do workshops is intolerance and how that leads to bullying.  And bullying is something that many children in our own communities have to deal with.  We're obviously not saying that intolerance = bullying = genocide, but we recognize that they are all points on a long continuum. Whenever we can make a connection between what we experience here and what other people experience where they live, we are strengthening our bond and commitment to each other.

Today I want to share this video, that I saw posted on facebook.  It calls out bullies and offers kind words to those who are bullied.
