I decided to inform a little bit about my new project here, in order to perhaps pass some inspiration unto my dear fellow human beings; both Christian and not, who frequent these forums.
During the past week, I have been working on getting started with a special project, using inspiration and energy bestowed upon me by Him. I will in the name of charity and good will, in my free time, open a non-profit center in my area for children, where they can freely spend time after school. Everyone will be welcome to participate in the range of activities I have planned (which from the beginning will alas be somewhat limited due to lack of resources. I am not a wealthy man, working for 11$/h as a "hygene technician" on paper, or "janitor" in the common tounge. I am content and ever so greatful for my life however, and hope that you will not judge me for my profession. I do not need material things, and know that even I have the possibility to help people in dire need, especially children who have their whole life in front of them, and can be more easily guided from a path of sin. I hope that as the project grows, parents of content children will volontarily aid the project economically and ease the burden that I now take upon myself.)
Luckily, money is not everything - even in these modern times, in this world on demand. I will be able to use the building of an old firedepartment free of charge, and a local priest has already agreed to attend to and govern the center on Thursday evenings, and be there for the children who have questions or need someone to talk to. He will demand nothing for himself. As for me, I will be there on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings to start with, and hopefully, I will be able to gather more personel to aid me with this, as time goes by and the project prospers. Hopefully, the doors will open some two-three weeks from now, and not be shut again during my lifetime,save for when they merely close for the evening.
I believe that it is a big problem in my area that children spend too much time engaged in unscrupulous activities, and think that bringing them together in this way will offer great possibilities for making new friends and having fun together. I also wish to grant them mental stimulation, and teach them the ways of Christ - although I am not myself finished with my own studies, for the teachings of Christ have the span of a lifetime, and beyond.
As said, my intention with posting this is in no way to claim credit for what I do for others, but merely to try to inspire. I do believe that you are all good people, but if I with this post can only inspire one individual to do just one additional good deed, I will see it as a success.
With blessings to all,
Leon.
