While KONY 2012 is on everyone’s lips, I am quite curious about
something closer to home. Fellow blogger @ We Want More (http://wewantmore.tumblr.com/) posted this
and I found it to be quite amazing.
What I find surprising, is that people are trying to solve issues in other countries, be
"superhero" and become widely popular while still having an impoverished neighborhood
next to their gated community. These men are fed up. They live in or near of those neighborhoods and are committed to get rid of the problem that affects their
community. While most of us would complain, ignore it or perhaps create
meetings and ask our government to do something about solving our issue, these
men gathered and set a course for action. They will not allow anymore of this
senseless violence. What would you do if a 9 month old baby was murdered by a
drive-by shooting?
Detroit 300 somehow, follows a few things that I spoke about
here;
While not all of us live in these conditions, these men show
tons of courage and are ready to face the worst we have in us.Let’s wish them the best of luck and I hope that you will
have such an impact onto the world and onto your surroundings.
Cheers,
Yvens
