In Western Society we often hear the phrase, ‘The End Justifies the Means’.  But Mahatma Ghandi is quick to point out that indeed the means IS inherit in the end.  To quote Ghandi: ‘Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.’

It is our desire to engage as many people as possible with our mission.  Both with respect to the people we are serving as well as those at home.  That is why we have developed the website  journeytosolidarity.org .  This website is a blog style website which will allow you to see the most recent news every time you log-on.  You can always go back and read past issues of the newsletter at the website and you can also get involved and learn more about us. Stay tuned for a new page on the culture of Madagascar and photos.

Just when you think you have it all figured out the Universe throws a curve at you.  Well the Universe threw Journey to Solidarity a little curve this week and we needed to change the date that we started creating positive physical change in Madagascar by two weeks. Initially Dr. Breitlow was going to be leaving Feb 2nd, however due to some minor political things on the ground in the capital city of Antanarivo, the date is changed to Feb 17th.  Please click here to read the updates or cut and paste this link into your browser.  http://journeytosolidarity.org/2009/01/feb-news/
