Inspirational thought for your day!

MSC archived stories - June 26, 2018

from Mexican actress, ErĂ©ndira Ibarra  [youtu.be/mkZOPOLsrt4]

"My mom was an anti-war activist and my dad was a war correspondent and part of the guerrilla in El Salvador. I was raised to feel in your heart in the deepest way possible any injustice in the world as if it were your own, and to be of service for others. My father was fighting for justice and for the well-being of a whole nation, and giving a voice to those that had none, and my mom was always giving more than she received. She was literally this living giving tree, constantly volunteering at schools and taking us to Habitat for Humanity to build houses and teach us the importance of service and volunteering. I always believe if we redefine justice as love, the moment that children learn the word, they understand that justice is something that we practice every single day. That’s why I support Gonzo Soccer and Children International and I was a part of Amnesty International because I believe profoundly that if we teach children human rights, they will be the politicians that change the world." (Forbes, Aug 2016)
