Those of you who’ve been following the blog know that I’ve been very concerned about the future of Antioch College, where I got my degree with a year abroad in France. Earlier this year, the college announced its intention to close its doors after the current academic year. In the months since then the alumni have made enormous strides in getting organized and raising money. The decision has been reversed and the college will remain open, but more funds are needed. To find out more, see antiochians.org/
Will next year be the year you move abroad? Or will it be further in the future? Sometimes the stumbling block is simply having too many possessions. If you’ve reached the point of having more of everything than you need, why not ask friends and family to make a donation that will help in parts of the world where help is really needed? Or start a new tradition with your family and friends by making donations in their names to an agency that helps poor people help themselves.
In any event, have a joyous holiday!
