Circle of friends

You know when you have one of those days when you look at friends, your friendship circle and even the people you are acquaintances with and just take stock in how they play in your lives.  Sure we have those friends that maybe we wish we could do without for some reason or another, or that random that you know enough for them to be on your BB list but never actually talk to, but I am sure the majority of the people you would choose to surround yourself with, carry out your life with are people you love and enrich you in some way or another.  My tight group of friends are people that I adore, BUT this post isn't even about them...

I have a friend I met over a year ago through Church, we would spot each other around at certain events, hang out and talk about wanting to mix creative talents and careers with humanitarian work.  After a few months she moved to Uni to Wales and we spoke less, then last week out of the blue comes an email and she tells me about all the things she has been doing and...its AMAZING!!!

While studying her Architecture course she, with a couple of friends founded a non-profit called:
ORKIDSTUDIO
What Orkidstudio actually is, is an non-profit humanitarian design organization that focus on helping young people and communities, through innovative and sustainable architecture, art and design.  They work alongside communities in developing countries to design sustainable infrastructure as well as holding classes and workshop for the children in the villages.  They are also developing ideas of creating transient shelters for places that experience sudden physical and political disasters.
Please check out their website and see how you can help, even just by spreading awareness.  www.orkidstudio.co.uk

I am actually so blessed to have people around me that inspire me in what they do in helping the poor and needy.  Using skills that they have, and used so commonly in Western world to benefit those with less services available to them.  It spurs me on in persevering with what I want to achieve through The Bamboo District and I am glad I have people in my life I can learn from.
