WFW
Women for Women International (WFW) helps women in war torn countries rebuild their lives, families, and communities through financial and emotional support. [My Company] works with WFW to help us better understand the diverse situations that women and girls face around the world. We’ve teamed up with WFW for a second year to offer a volunteer opportunity to our employees.
So here's this awesome charity that gives money to women in war-torn countries, and if I sign up to do it, I don't have to pay money myself even, my company will do that part! All I have to do is write a letter to her once a month.
There's my problem. I am all for helping people, but I'm something awful at correspondence. I'm awful at getting back to PEOPLE I KNOW VERY WELL AND LIKE through email, and that's to discuss things of great awesome. I have no idea how to properly carry on a conversation with someone in dire straits. "That sucks that your house blew up. My house feels like a fire, too, that's why I have to keep my Pocky in the fridge!" I am the worst pen pal ever.
But I want to help! I'm just shit at being social! Does anyone do something like this? Advice on how to be a good person?
