Speaking of helping others self-actualize, we've first gotta tend to their basic survival needs as the good Dr. Maslow says. Here's a great way for you to do that:

Everyone Deserves A Roof

It's All Relative; We're All Relatives
Most of us would loan a brother or sister $25 if they asked for it. Chances are it would help them with some relatively minor issue they were facing, and may make some temporary positive difference for them. If you're lucky they might even pay you back someday.
But what if you could loan that same amount of money to another brother or sister knowing that it would help radically transform his or her life for the better? And what if you'd be almost certainly guaranteed of being repaid by the date when they told you you'd be repaid?
Sound like a good deal? Then visit www.kiva.org and start being a part of that transforming power in the life of someone you meet there. It's hard to imagine a better return on your investment.

Charity Begins At Home
I don’t have a sermonette to offer tonight. :-) Just a recommendation to check out a website, especially if you have kids.It’s www.markmakers.org. They provide a way for kids (of any age) to feel like they’re making a difference in the world. It’s a great concept and an excellent way to help foster a deeper sense of connection between your kids and the rest of the world.
1/25/10 update - it appears the website is either no longer operational or is down for upgrades. You can check it again later or search for other similar sites online. Either way, getting your kids involved in something of this sort can only help to develop a new generation of more genuinely connected people.
