October is the Month of Service in my organization. This year I volunteered for the Leukemia Society fund raising event "Light the Night Walk" on the 19th. Freedom Plaza looked colorful with balloons and tents. We had several tents pitched all along the Pennsylvania Avenue and 13th street. It was quite a humble experience when you see the courageous cancer survivors from all ages came to support the walk. My colleagues and I managed the merchandise tent.
With the band playing slowly the event gained momentum. The weather co-operated even though there was a prediction for rains. This great experience of meeting people from all walks of life, bestowing collective compassion is certainly the moment to remember forever.
PEACE ON EARTH
