Yesterday morning's Leader-Telegram carried a story about a young man who volunteers in Rwanda with Engineers Without Borders. Matt Carlson graduated from high school here in the Chippewa Valley and is a student at UW-Madison's School of Engineering. He has been to Rwanda twice and will go again in January with Engineers Without Borders to help repair the infrastructure within that country.
The activities of such organizations and individuals point the way to effective peace- making and genuine assistance in other countries (and perhaps in this one). These activities provide much-needed help to ordinary people around the world. May there be many more volunteers and projects. And, may both those who are helped and those doing the helping be blessed. AMEN.
