When you look around it is easy to find a number of great causes that we want to lend our support to. But often the first question is how do I know that this is the organization I want to help out? We all would love to help every cause we hear about but the reality is that we just can’t. Many times we choose an organization that is near and dear to us for personal reasons and sometimes we hear the story and are compelled to help. I came across Restore A Voice because I knew the founder, Larry Megason has been a great friend and has been involved with other organizations that have done and continue to do great thing around the world in effort to do his part.
The Color Factory was invited to the initial meeting to brainstorm the name and the beginning of the process to create the brand. As I heard the people in the meeting discuss the main purpose was not to be a drive by mercy mission but more of a hands trying to be part of the community type solution. I heard the passion behind the purpose and I saw that what Larry wanted to do was not a pie in the sky dream but a tangible plan to give people the voice that has been lost whether through a disaster, social economics or having their lives being snatched away through the hideous crime of human trafficking.
The first thing I asked was the same question we all probably ask at this crossroad, what can I do to help. The goal is in concrete but our plans are in sand and what I am finding out is that as tough as it gets we have a choice to step off this ride, the people that we want to help do not. Please visit our site @ www.restoreavoice.org and see if you are moved to help as well.
