Doing the Right Thing

Can you remember a time when you wanted to do the right thing, but didn't want anyone to know?  We’ve all been there for whatever reason.  At one of our recent language programs, there was a young man who wanted to do the right thing, but he was trying to avoid the public ridicule that would come along with that decision.  He said if the other boys saw him learning sign language he would be teased… so he wanted to learn apart from the group, behind the building.  Eduin, a Deaf young man who has been volunteering with SofL offered to teach him.  The two sat, hidden from sight, and as they were communicating, Eduin was able to remind this young man of his worth and his coolness. 
 
Eduin on the right teaching Dilber sign language & that
he's all the more cool for learning it! 
Everyday we get to stand up for what’s right, and let those who are never told know that they are worthy and priceless.  In doing this every day, we fall deeper in love with The One Who Created all of us, and we’re impassioned all the more.
