? #MandelaDay - Today I spent my day packing food for 58 000 children. It's always good giving back because we forget how fortunate we are and how we can take out fortunes to help those in need. It felt good to know I'm doing good, to forget my problems and remember that there are people out there with bigger problems than I. So in my pic are expiration dates for the food, I'm hurt that at some point this is all they'll have and some of them won't get anything beyond this. I wish we could extend such campaigns or days instead of having them once. Anything that actively makes change is for me...long term change. Thank you @timesquareza for the invite and initiative on this day! #MandelaDay #Rise4Good
