Volunteer UCF
set up a special day
for local nonprofits
who've got something to say.
Thus began the friendship
to stand up for those in need
between Clean the World
and the Mustard Seed
Stationed right beside me
with their coffee, dougnuts, and soap
was an awesome group of people
fighting to give kids hope.
I had no tasty treats
to entice my hungry peers
but I recieved free soap
to wash away my tears.
At this time I realized,
"These guys are legit!"
I asked them of their mission
to get involved with it.
Washing our hands often,
it may seem like no big deal.
But millions of little children
can't wash up before a meal.
How does one group deal
with such a dyer situation?
You'd need a ton of soap
for even the smallest nation!
Hotels, motels, and cruise lines
donate soap and shampoo.
Then it's cleaned and rebatched
for use by someone new.
Oh Clean the World,
saving lives by making suds.
You've helped over 7 million
wash away bad germs and muds.
I hope you liked your poem
it came straight from the heart.
Feel free to hang it in the office
its a priceless piece of art.
((kidding))
Let us join together
come this Saturday,
to endulge in some pizza
at a local CPK.

Lo Lesson #6:
-the key to promoting your organization at a job or volunteer fair-
If you find yourself at a table promoting an organization and the neighboring organization has high-tech video footage, food, bevs, and free soap..do not feel discouraged. All of these exciting items will entice people and attract them to your general area. When they walk away feeling satisfied from their doughnuts and energized from their coffee (and excited to use their new soap) they will feel obligated to go to your table too! Yesterday I learned the real secret to success at a job or volunteer fair: strategically place yourself next to the organization with the most stuff, that way you get attention (for free) and you walk away with some free items yourself. Out of office supplies? Sit next to the table with free pens! Left your water bottle at home? You know what to do..
In all seriousness, Clean the World is an awesome organization and I hope we get the opportunity to work with them in the future!
