Central Asia Institute

The Central Asia Institute (CAI) is a school where many under privileged kids are given the opportunity at an education. Watching the video made me realized how much people these days take for granted. In a village with no clean running water, with no proper health care, with no one being able to read and write, one man gave this small village the opportunity of a lifetime. The kids are educated and are even given the chance to expand their education by going to college by being given scholarships. The women are able to go to school as well and are taught the trade if sewing which will provide income for their families after they master this skill. Places like this exist all over the world, and all it takes is the thought and dedication for one person to impact so many others.

Peace Within Our Own Reach

Peace

Some say that peace might never exist, some say peace is only an arm’s reach away, I say that peace does exist and is within our grasp. Peace exists in many ways, the biggest way this exists is with the little things that come by us in our everyday life. It is only when we lose something we truly understand its important significance it had in our life. Peace exists in those small moments where we find comfort and peace. Whether it be from a hug from a loved one or a night out with those who are important in our life, peace exists in those little moments where everything just seems to come together and only a bright smile comes to our face. I personally find peace when I’m either listening to or playing. Without them in my life, I cannot find peace. Although the world may never find peace because it is plagued by war and famine, its people may find peace with those that they surround them with or in any way that may brighten them up.
