National Non-Profit Day

 

Yesterday, I saw a post on Instagram saying that August 17th was National Non-Profit Day and that we should pay tribute to our favorite non-profit organization.  It just so happens that I work for a non-profit organization.  

It's called Southwest Human Development and they provide services that uplift the lives of children, families  and other child-care providers.  We provide Head Start programs, Healthy Families programs and a variety of mental health programs along with foster care and adoption activities.  

I work in the information technology area as an analyst so I'm not one of hundreds of childhood education specialists who work directly with clients.  I admire the work those people do very much.  

This picture is from the front of our main office building.  I actually had worked here many years before I spotted those colorful panels on the front of the building.  I guess if you park in the back or underground, you miss some details.

I didn't know you worked at a nonprofit! For some reason I thought you were in banking. Or is that your old job? It's funny how we can pass some details every day and not quite see them. I do the same thing, I'm sure.
