Stand Up for Mom and ONE this Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is quickly approaching. So what am I going to be doing this weekend? As an Ohio ONE member and a volunteer for StandingWomen.org, I’m going to use StandingWomen.org’s Mother’s Day event as an opportunity to spread the word about the fight against extreme poverty.
On May 13, led by StandingWomen.org, men and women will be gathering at 1 pm in local parks, school yards, and other gathering places to stand in silence for 5 minutes to think about all the children in the world who still need access to clean water, food and
education.
What will you be doing? I invite you to gather with your family and the ONE members in your area too. We hope that you’ll wear ONE shirts and bands and talk to others in your community about what we all can do to make this a safer, healthier world for our children.
