I came across this website today - http://www.orangeskylaundry.com.au/, basically these two young men decided to make a difference to homeless people. The way they chose to make a difference was to homeless people, by organising a mobile laundry which could go to areas where homeless people feel comfortable and get their washing done.
Imagine getting an organisation like this up and running, it would have been quite a tremendous job, both logistically and personally. Just think about it - you would need power, water, transport, drainage, volunteers, finance, legalities etc etc. What an amazing amount of dedication and motivation it would take to actually see it to fruition.
So why would anyone do it - right? So many people go out of their way to make small and big contributions to other peoples lives, whether its for sick people, animals, the disadvantaged, environment - the list could go forever - they often do this humbly and discreetly with no ulterior motives and often without thanks. So to all of you who do a little or big something just to help out I want to say a big THANK YOU on behalf of the community.
If we all took a small amount of time to do something to benefit others in need our community would be a much better, sounder, happier place for us all to live in. So well done to all of you.
