Back to our more interesting and important week's topic of helping others and giving back. Please read this lovely story by Irene Sage in today's Boston Globe about Ruth Adomunes, a BIDMC staff member who is helping to build a school in Haiti by making and selling bracelets.
I like the final paragraph: Wherever Adomunes goes, she carries a large tote bag filled with bracelets. "This is my portable store," she says. "If someone says, 'Do you have any bracelets?' 'Yes, I do.' "

A heart-warming story for sure. One person can really make a difference! I'm looking forward to seeing her Web page up and running.
This is fabulous! Is there a link to the website so people can purchase?
Dunno. I'll ask Ruth.
To answer, the website is under construction at present.
I also received a phone call from a Board Member from Maine Medical Center. She wanted to buy a bracelet for herself and told me how impressed she was that I worked at the BIDMC and the PACU's involvement. I told her how fortunate I was to work with such an outstanding group. She told me there was a Board Meeting Thursday and wanted to know if I would be interested in talking. She is planing to share the story with the Board and asked for a few bracelets to show! I told her I would be happy to talk. She thinks this as a wonderful avenue to raise money for the hospital! Thank you for your support and interest. Have a Great Day!!Ruth
I nominate this entry as "best use of a biblical passage while telling a story about someone named Ruth!"
