Best charitable work ever. :) It is SO overwhelming to know about all the difference causes out there. I try to spread the love around, but you can't save everything and everyone.

Sometimes volunteering and things can help us in our grief if it shifts our focus into gratefulness; other times, it can set us back if it makes us focus on negative and sad stuff. Neither is right or wrong for every single person.<br /><br />I agree ALL the way with your last paragraph about making YOUR world a better place.
