The feeling ive had in the pit of my stomache sense i was 5 to help people has grown much stronger lately. 
 
I want to help the needy.  Really help them.  I dont want to go to a shelter and direct traffic.  I dont want to stand in the food line and sling potatoes.  I dont want to just donate a box of food to the food pantry for the welfare people.  That isnt the way that i want to help.
 
If u catch what im saying, im not interested in helping the people that have made bad choices.  I want to help the people that didnt have a choice.
 
I want to go to foreign countries and help the children.  I could do a number of things to help.  I could simply be the laborer to all the "professionals"...I could be a scheduler.  I could help cook.  I could pass food.  I could teach them english.  I could read stories to the little ones.  I could do just about anything.  They also need haircuts right?  I could do that.  Im a licensed CNA too, im sure i could help with minor injuries. 
 
What im saying is that im perfectly capable of being an asset to the volunteer world.  They should be glad to have me.  They should BEG to have me help.  They are always bitching about needing MORE help on television.  They just would rather take my money than my hand. 
 
I know this because, a  few weeks ago i submited an application to enter the peace core.
 
I was rejected
 
They said that i wasnt Qualified enough, that they preferred people to have bachelors or masters degrees...
 
As though people with degrees are the only people qualified to help another human being.
 
That is unfair, to say the least. 

That is twisted and a very skewed point of view.
 
Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth.
 
I supose ill just stick to my plan to save all the abused and neglected animals in the country.
 
Sense im not educated enough to help a human being in the most basic ways of providing food and shelter...

    Hey Star!  I think it's silly of them not to take you in the Corp too, but why let that stop you from helping people.  Many charitable organizations started when one person found a cause they were passionate about.  Raise money, send materials, go in person to help someone or something you are passionate about and you cannot fail.
     
    A college degree is not the measure of a persons heart.

    Even if i did raise enough money id be a one person army and not able to do much on my own...

    I am thinking about doing that to open my no kill animal shelter...

    I just dont even know where to begin.  I live in a small town...how could i raise that kind of money?  People are already broke...

    Id have to take a loan out, but id have no way to repay it.

    Id need land, lots of land.  And lots of fence, lots and lots od fence.  Id need so much, but those would be my main obstacles...

    I think you might want to contact some of the larger non-profit groups and talk to their administrators.  They can tell you how to recruit members, find donors and such.  I think you can do more this way (organizing and running such a group) than by doing the work yourself, but that doesn't mean that from time to time you won't find yourself on the front line.
