       Thank you for all you do worldwide to help people, including spreading awareness about drought and how to help. I found some useful information on your website which I presented in my recent article series on the drought of 2012. Your admonition that we each do something every day to conserve water really jumped out, and I admonish my readers likewise!

      I would like to become a member, I feel God has given me a special gift to help others in so many ways. Its been told to me by special people of my gift, Ive help many over the years in many different aspects of life, Most of my family was in the fire department, I am a driver, I always felt ive gone the wrong way and been told that by many! Ive saved lives over the years, One of my most special gift was years ago when I was younger, I work with a lady who had a new boyfriend, when i met him, i felt evil, he went to prison for 53 years for what i uncovered that day, all from a handshake, Ive been called a hero, Ive been called a gardian angel. I go broke cause i cant let one starve. I feel my gift is bigger than I know, I feel its time to spread my gift in life threw a major passion I have, I feel major destruction is coming our way in life and I want to be on the field to help others in a way that I feel God wants me to, i could write all day, but would like ur feedback on how u feel, thank u, Stanley,,? stanleykalis@yahoo.com
