We die a little each time we stay silent about things that matter – that’s my message to the world.

It’s 10 :  26 AM on day 2234 of my journey towards independence and I managed to have breakfast, pray, read 1 Peter 2: 9,  learn one new thing – The English word alphabet came into Middle English from the Late Latin word alphabetum, which in turn originated in the Greek ἀλφάβητος (alphabētos), from alpha and beta, the first two letters of the Greek alphabet. – and work on my  25 Smiles Campaign    –raised $8 136.04 only  $4 363.96 more to raise to reach my second goal of raising $12 500 for Smile Train before Jan 10 2017 (SO SO SO GRATEFUL to everyone who has supported this campaign so far ).

Yesterday I posted a video titled “25 Smiles for Smile Train and the Western Sahara” it’s basically an update on 25 Smiles (for my YouTube subscribers) and an introduction to the Western Sahara. Watch “25 Smiles for Smile Train and the Western Sahara” below:

[Update January 12, 2017: Campaign ended 2 days ago. Final total raised is $10 317.04 [enough money to sponsor 41 smiles]]
