a blog about being a lorax to the world. a lorax is anyone/anything that stands as an advocate. the lorax is literally a smallish, brownish creature from Dr. Seuss's The Lorax. He "speaks for the trees, for the trees have no tongues". the ending quote always resonates with my humanitarian efforts, "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot; nothing's going to get better. its not."

Putting the Christmas Sprit in a Toy Store
Christmas Village Toy Store is the christmas spirit wrapped up in a church turned toy store. Warehouse 242 partners with other local churches to run the Christmas Village Toy Store. presents are donated to the toy store and priced at discounted prices. they are then shelved and ready to buy. families in the area can then come and buy the presents for their kids. the parents keep their dignity because they're still allowed to buy the presents but they're at a discounted price so the kids still get their presents. its fantastic, and i loved being involved and the toy store hasn't even opened yet!! i am going to volunteer friday to exit greet and then take some pictures so keep updated and you'll see some more!
