Topic: General
You're probably wondering "Who are these people and what are they all about?" That is what I'm going to talk about tonight.
WINGS is a group of writers that has joined together to bring about awareness and change in the world. Too often people in certain areas are overlooked--or disregarded--and left to exist in a world that holds no future and no happiness. We want to change that.
We want to help Mary see she doesn't need to be some man's punching bag. We want little Suzy and Gary to know their bodies are not toys and there are people who care. We want to make the government aware that Aunt Jane and Uncle Joe need medicine they can't afford, and may well die without it. Cindy needs to know that her baby is well-taken care of while she works and know she can take care of her health needs as well as his.
Those living on the streets, facing death every night need warm homes and full bellies and those stuck away on reservations need to be allowed to regain their pride, allowed to live the lives of their ancestors. Children suffering emotional disorders need early and effective treatment, not tossed aside as bad and shoved off alone to "get out of the way". They need to be recognized for the talented, intelligent humans they can become with proper treatment and guidance.
Can we do this alone? The answer is NO--we need you, every one of you. We need all who can to help make the world aware that a great many of this world's population is being tossed aside. How many of these could work near-miracles if given a chance to spread their wings, know their own worth--and learn to soar?
If you believe you can help in any way--maybe you write or run a program for those who need it. Maybe you are a government official who is willing to listen--and work for changes in the law. Maybe you are a doctor and lawyer a housewife--you have something to offer. Contact one of us and we will work with you and be greatful for your help.
