Do The Right Thing

I saw something that really touched my heart. President Obama's team responded to a classroom of children who had produced a video from the Village School in Pomona. I'm not exactly sure what the video was about, but I believe it was about the needs of the people in the area and when President Obama visited Pomona last week, he made it a point to invite that classroom of underprivileged kids to attend his meeting and gave them VIP treatment.

Afterwards these children met with the President for 15 minutes. That meeting transformed their lives and perhaps their future. We have to give our President "kudos" for taking the time to touch the lives of these kids. Also, thanks to their teacher who inspire them to make that video and send it to the President.

Because of this extraordinary visit, these children will never be the same again. They have hope and they are thrilled. Instead of gangs and drugs, they are looking for opportunities to help and encourage one another and families in the community.

Thank you President Obama, you surely did the right thing!
