It is this along with the continued opportunity stay engaged that sustains my sense of hope--up and including the opportunity I had to serve as Principal for the Day at the John Malcolm School in Laguna Niguel to understand the challenges of our public schools.

Some 400,000 people are in the path of the floods and the reporting from the VOA's Radio Farda has been tough to listen to.
As I was pleased to see how the International Committee of the Red Cross Red Crescent Society underscored how there was no prohibition against helping. I released this courtesy of Tavana--sometimes images are worth trillions of tweets and words:
