Here is a latest for Florida Job SEEKERS:A JOB SEEKER CENTER ON WHEELS coming to a library near you.
Are you familiar with a blood bank on wheels ? Here is something else on wheels :A job Center !!.Yes , I saw it and visited it at my neighborhood library.Great innovative idea to have a" job opportunity bank" BUS equipped with a state of the art information technology searching for job seekers to donate their resumes instead .I did my own donation!
I like the idea of COMMUNITY OUT REACH.I support the way of life that treats all with EQUAL OPPORTUNITY as WELL EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL!
I have lost my only transport :my van to a junk yard after I could not come up with money to repair it.They took my only way of transport without giving me a dime.My neighbor lost his home to the bank because he could not come up with the money .He owed the mortagage guys $190,000 .The bank sold his foreclosed home for $35,0000.Heand his wife were working THREE JOBS together.The mortgage payments were much more above the masrket value of their house.How many of you can relate to me and to my neighbor?If not now, may be it will happen to you along the way...
There is a joke about DEPRESSION AND RECESSION.Do you know the difference?If it happens to you and you lose everything, it is a DEPRESSION.If it happens to your neighbor,it is RECESSION!
I am a positive person , so I like the POSITIVE idea of THE WORKFORCE ALLIANCE initiative to send HELP to JOB SEEKERS right on wheels.I had to use my bicycle to reach them..They told me this is a PILOT PROJECT..Taht was a GOOD initiative!But,it was only a trial to measure the response from the public.Well the library printed few flyers to inform us, like couple of days ahead of time.The outcome was a show up of 13 people.I am sure there are more job seekers than that .The thing which we must adress is :LET THE PEOPLE KNOW!
There are stimulus money for many other than the banks , but the problem is that MOST OF THE PUBLIC DO NOT KNOW .
Awareness is the key.It is always GOOD TO KNOW!Thank you WORKFORCE ALLIANCE for the sending HELP on wheels.Next thing I love to see:ORGANIC Locally grown fruits and vegetables on wheels for those who HAVE NO MEANS of TRANSPORT TO visit the soup kitchens or the food pantrys (mostly distributing canned food and bread)!. .At least we have a lot of job seekers who are eligible and qualify for a plot at a community garden ,to grow their own organic fruits and vegetables.The question is :Where are the land that still holds on the fertile soil here in Florida?Do not ask the developers or the officials who helped this to happen.They have erased two community gardens with good fertile soil not long time ago ,which I know of.Where are the LAWS that protect AGRICULTURAL LANDS WITH FERTILE SOIL in our COMMUNITIES?
Top soil out.Hydroponics in.What happens if safe potable water be next to miss ?Where will we grow our food?The Florida Areage community of 45,000 is now battling a Cancer Cluster that is being allegedly traced to the well water.It is time to raise the WATER AWARENESS level to higher STANDARD ,before we end up with WELL WATER ON WHEELS!
