I take a moment and praise the work of the International WeLoveU Foundation, which I am proud to say is located in Oradell, New Jersey. The organization and supporters are dedicated to improving the lives and conditions of people across the globe. They focus on the belief that we are all human beings, and when we help each other out, we bring out the best in all of us. Last July, I attended one of their events, a walkathon in Jersey City's Liberty State Park. They raised $50,000 to support disaster relief in Mozambique. Basically, the country was hit by two hurricanes in 2 months that devastated towns, farms, and homes. Most people did not even know it happened, so I was impressed to see 2,500 people donate their time and effort to help people thousands of miles away. But that is what the WeLoveU Foundation does and continues to do: help those less fortunate during times of crisis. I am proud to support the work that they do and hope to praise more organizations like them in the future. ____________________
