Yeah, I Know Its Late!

I am doing this blog entry late because I did not have internet access for the pass couple of days. I was not on campus to use their many resources and I was not near any library and Wi-Fi spots. And plus I wanted my blogging partner to have something to blog back about. But anyways, I read the AVODAH website article, AVODAH is a Jewish network group, where the programs recruits Jews from all over the United States to spend a year working on urban poverty issues as a full time employee in a non-profit organization. The program is to help Jews become more aware of Jewish life and become aware of community activism. Religious affiliations, practices, and beliefs can shape advocacy because they can the best of both worlds. You can learn more about a religious culture while promoting some kind of cause and advocate for it. Having a religious background or a cultural background when starting an advocate group can be very beneficial because you already have supporters, who share the same beliefs as you so you can gain supporters through your religion or group. When everybody has a common goal, it is much easier to work with people who are on the same level as you. Compare to working with someone who disagrees with your belief.
