Just Neighbors

Do you ever think about who is your neighbor? At my job I deal with issues of disaster relief and sustainable community development on an international level. As a result, it is very easy for me to get wrapped up in thinking about my neighbors as those over "there" and forget that I have neighbors who are "here" as well. In preparation for a Habitat Blitz Build that will occur this spring, I have been reviewing a curriculum called "Just Neighbors". I find it to be extremely thought provoking but not only that, it also makes me want to act. My neighbors who live right "here" are living in poverty and I am failing if I do not confront the injustices associated with it. Check out the materials at http://www.justneighbors.net/
