    Thanks for the add I am deeply inspired by the common ground foundation...I am working at a small university in Utah were I started from scratch building a student life program. I moved from Colorado after college knowing it would be a challenge but I knew that that the power of love would help me thru. I am proud to say that our student life program has been outstanding and we have been able to build our own student senate, we have now over thirteen clubs and organizations, I get to take my student's on trips in the community Jazz games etc. and we have outreached to organizations around the community such as make a wish foundation, and others. I believe in the power of education, and that love is the movment..Organizations like Common Ground Foundation keep me doing my thang...Thank you I wish I lived closer so I could be more involved with this ...I looked on the website is there anyway that I can order a common ground founation shirt?? I did not see any info on this...Have a great Friday in Peace...Vee
