Building well being in a person is like building a strong house—it requires certain materials, resources and opportunities.  When these materials are not available, we may have a hard time surviving the storms.  For so many kids around the world, The Salvation Army is a key part of their building materials.  Did you know The Salvation Army operates more than 2,700 schools—including schools for blind and disabled children, and residential programs for orphaned, neglected and trafficked children?  These programs are supported by people like you and like me and the lady at the center of connecting it all for The Salvation Army on the U.S. West coast is Rachel Thieme-Ramirez.  In this episode, Rachel shares how she aims to do good and how you can be part of providing for the essential needs of children right where you are.    Find show notes for this episode and more at caringmagazine.org/podcast.
