there are many groups organizations and individuals who are given a lot of time as far as volunteer in their time their talents even their money for certain groups and individuals today we're going to try to cover some of this and we cannot there's no way they we came to begin to talk about all the groups that are doing volunteer work and also of course all the individuals so we're going to highlight just some people and some organizations like i said we can't get to all of them first of all i would just like to start  background but we had community issues group would like to give recognition to reverend samuel mckinney this is taken from the scanner newspaper from the seattle area and it talks about reverend samuel mckinney list of accomplishments and achievement is lengthy it

mckinney of the mount zion baptist church courageous and anybody that knows anything about this to soldiers knows she's very outspoken she doesn't buy her time and she embraces different philosophies in her thinking  to address his congregation i thought was very you know like i said courageous very courageous so i wanted to add that to his list of comps are going to be some of the can mccain he has been very courageous know the years you know he's he's picked up the popular thing it is also picked up the unpopular thing so i think it's good that he has paid tribute and we'd like to like to also a communications group to pay him tri way we see it our day to day life i know that we see many many parents who volunteer many many levels and i think we also know that a lot of times into the same parents that volunteer over and over and over where their time it's so extended i just want to make that comment but let's go into your comments about parents well you know we're talking about volunteerism and when i think of a parent volunteering i'm talking about inside the home ok and you know it when you think about what does a volunteer do a volunteer basically is doing something without it in the expectation of getting paid with monetary money and volunteers who do it from the heart and they're not trying to put a show on you know to impress someone they're doing it from the heart they see a payoff that is bigger and greater and more valuable than money terry pay off so they can really get involved in it now you think about a parent a lot of a parent's job is dealing with maintenance of the home you know paying the bills keeping it clean making sure the necessary things are in the home food clothing you know safe environment comfortable environment you know things of that nature that's basic maintenance you know a lot of parents have to perform basic maintenance but now to go beyond the point of basic maintenance to sit down with the child stroke to make sure the child feels loved make sure the child has healthy self esteem make sure the child is geared and direct d away from the normal influences that can affect a child we're talking about television magazines books you know make sort of more or less monitoring the child in the home activities that's the kind of thing that i'm talking about  now having a dialogue with the child letting the child know hey you know i understand what you're going through you memorize the child want to mysel you say let's talk about this issue let's talk about that issue having a personal one on one with a child  these things i believe and i have vanished from the family scene you know and so for parents who i don't want to say volunteer because for your personal life and your family is not volunteering but in a way it is volunteering because you're going above and beyond what's expected because a lot of times you know you see a lot of parents because they have so much work to be done you know most most of the time both parents have to work just to more because i want some personal time to themselves all right and it's not done in a malicious way you know it's done in a humorous way but the child knows my time's up with the parent and i'm going to go in a room play i go do something else but  v and it takes a lot for an adult and a parent to look away into the future look twenty years into the future to say i better spend some time my child so next time my child  plant certain seeds and cultivate disgruntled here that is much of this is my child i'm responsible for how this trial influences on this child so he can or she can think in a certain way so today in this show we want to applaud it and celebrate the parents who take that extra time away for their own personal unwinding time in the day to spend actually time to help guide that we want to applaud those parents because this is very special it's necessary and it is is this is the type of work they create that could above average child cut above that extra choice that extra level of development added dimension comes from that type of parent so we want to thank you the parents that do these type of things and we want to encourage the parents that made that they know they should be doing it but just haven't found  time to do one occurs those parents to get involved because parenting is more than just maintaining parenting is also creating and developing and helping to evolve so we want we want to ask those other parents to get involved their children on that level because it will pay off and how it will play out it will pay off in the society because when we leave you know we're going to we're going to pass on who's going to be the ones there's going to be running around here every day going through changes are going to be our kids they're going to be adults though and how they handle life is going to depend on how they think about life inside and how to think about themselves inside and somewhere somehow there's an influence is molding that impression and it can come from outside we can come from inside now when we if we love our children we should want that our children get it from us directly from the inside rather than depending on and i say it's important that the children because of it in a proper atmosphere just like it would cultivate anything else let's move on because we have some other topics to hit  and there's another word in terms of teachers and we had a conversation just before the show and we were saying that really teachers should be one of the highest paid profession but it's not and this is such a critical thing all the politicians there once talking bubble education education you know and we all know how important that is but i would say it's not one of the highest paid professions  and i know many of us there might be a teacher the made a difference someone that believes in or pushed us forward and helped us out so i guess what we're saying well what we're saying here is that those teachers that are going to extra mile for the students we want them to know that they are appreciated we know we've heard about the other ones and you know just kind go there for the little paycheck or or whatever but there are some teachers that are very serious about education to you and a lot a lot of times they don't get you know recognition they work overtime they don't get paid for it  so we want that just to be brought out that they are educators that are you know going above and beyond you know the college and let me add that you talk about the pay t teachers again it is i will say conspiracy i will use the word conspiracy but it's the social engineers that put teachers in a right almost like fast food chain you know there's cranking out describe them out and completely disregarding the effect that teachers have on a child's mind you know a teacher is like an extended member of your family because a child leaves your home and goes into this school environment and that person is an authority that teacher is still molding and shaping that child's mind so if you have an underpaid staff there that br frustration and then you know some of these parents send these kids to school without teaching them how to be respectful you know they're jumping around all over the place they cross in the teachers out they never come to school prepared  that's a job that is a hell of a job to sit there and try to impart some knowledge to a child where is maybe only five children in the class want to learn something and the other twenty five are just acting a fool to maintain discipline you see that is a job so then you go underpaid as person and then they wonder why so many teachers are crackpot value of themselves but you know the social engineers are just cranking them out and the reason why i say it's a conspiracy because i honestly believe that the social engineers in the society want to keep the masses the general population on a certain level they want to keep him on a certain level so they can keep him in the workforce because if they if they're if if something happens where everybody's getting a premium type education that's going to elevate the moderns of the masses and that's going to bring competition to those who are in control and i don't think they really want that and the other issue is do they might begin to think for themselves  it people who are using their time their money their energy who don't you know get extra money for who or who don't get the recognition that it's deserved to you know they just work at it work out or work at it you know and help help he their you know they might if they're lucky to get a thank you know no one really you know pays a tribute let's let's move on from teachers and we might come back to them a little bit later but let's move on into the field of coaching and we know that there's all coaching you really get it's hard at first and then as you see that particular person grow and develop and whatever skill it is that's great but the greatest thing is to say them grow and develop intellectually and also how they are able to develop as young adults that's when i think the real pleasure comes when you see them at a certain age and see them grow up and how they really develop so i think further down the line one hundred percent are agree with coaching is that a lot of times has been taking the place of babysitters than you know because some parents who just showed to kids into sport say you know going to sport after school you're a good sport so here again you have an adult this face with the challenge of teaching discipline and respect at the same time developing a skill in  a child but they don't get paid and so why do they do it you see and like you say we hear community issues group want to want to make it known that you are appreciated very much appreciate because a lot of a lot of children there are faced with the temptation of this gang thing and you know a lot of young men and a lot of young women you see we have to understand what is it there's being have to have discipline and you have already have sort of something and you're part of something you belong to something you have some type of power image you know you have leadership all these things are developed as well as protection so a coach be talking about we're talking about the gangs we're talking about to read the road to destruction we're talking about shootings killings drugs teenage pregnancies we're talking about all these things so here here's a coach now you know he is he is  manufacturing an environment for this young adult to still satisfy those inner longings but yeah steer that to a position of productivity being able to contribute some to society and know their area tutors right all these people i mean you know we should have a day was a year should be a national holiday where every city every state should just celebrate you know all the volunteers i mean it should be something like the like for christmas and new year's you know you should be volunteers day than because this is so important to our well being and these people go overlooked so again we thank you for your after year   you know sometimes even take a kid out you know to a different you know maybe a sporting event or whatever to a movie just to help them out there is another group that we need to talk about a religious energy money food and expectorate but that's something we need to touch on is the religious volunteers and what motivates them to do what they do well you know here again a s with all of volunteers i believe that they're looking at a bigger picture and they're looking at every wars that can't be contained and money they're looking at a reward of really the salvation of the so l and they're also looking at it to be impressive in terms of people can remember when they were down and out you know who was who was the word that fed him gave them a blanket gave them a place to sleep that night it was a religious organization so if they ever get to the point where thinking that they they want to turn to god or become a part of something they can remember well it was this christian organization that helped me now it's time for me to you know pay something back here or was this jewish organization or was this  organization or was this muslim organization it was the heart of the religious community restart to me when i was you know down on my luck so now you know i should i should you know want to associate myself with some of this so it's different motivations but the thing is that you know people are looking at trying to win the soul but affect the heart and let people know that life is not as rough as you think it is and life is not all  you see true god has touched our hearts and our soul in our lives to give us that compassion to go out and reach those that no one wants to deal with you know to to give because this is very rarely do i hear religious leaders speak in behalf of other religions that's true and this is so encouraging to me because there's only one g right so of different religions have different ways of worshipping that one god it seems like to me that we still should be working together on issues in this society since all the issues in this society that we seem to be against othe ones that the devil's in both that's true you know and on that note that i think will happen maybe about wait a minute or so ok on that note i would like to hopefully the camera can get this shot then this is a very very profound this shot here this is the muslim journal and this has a caption hope you can read it ok this is pope john paul the second and he ma'am wallace mohammed this is this was done and at the vatican and those are the types of things that i think we need more and i stayed in another program you didn't see this on mainstream the news and you just kind of wonder why i guess because it was it was too positive we always hear the negative and eccentric center but this is the type of thing that we hope we see in the future so i think that this is the man whilst he is the muslim american spokesman for human salvation paul the second i think we almost have to wrap here there's other areas we can go into there was another thing that this real briefly there was one hundred two career volunteer firefighters from thirty four states who lost their lives in
