The Problem

If we could solve this problem we would do it without a second thought, but for now, that's not the case. I want to take this club to the highest level of greatness that it can reach. Making Christmas Memories is one of the great projects we try to do every year, we take underprivileged children from near our communities and take them "one guy to a one kid" shopping for christmas presents for them for a couple hours. It benefits the people that get involved with the project, the kids that get a sense of love and appreciation and finally it raises awareness among the community. I believe that one day there will be no kids who need us to help them get something for christmas... for anything. One day that might just happen.

Why It's Important

My name is Fernando Ramirez and i am tired of this reality being a reality, i am tired of no one out there speaking up for those who can't raise their voices and scream and plead for help and justice. I am tired of a generation that looks at the problem then walks away, i want a generation that cares about the poor, the orphan and the widows, those who had their rights stripped away from them, because maybe one day, no one will speak up for us when we are in that situation.

The Plan Of Action

The steps where simple, look for the children in need-Unite people and create awarnes and publicity- get help from stores and such- finally give a child christmas.

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE, we can ALL make an impact on someone's life, we can all leave a legacy and send a message, so look at problems and create solutions.
