Sowing Seeds of Change

Years ago I heard Shirley MacLaine sum up what she learned from her round-the-world spiritual search: "What you give is what you get."

So true. Still when and where we get what we give can be remote. Ten years ago when Physicians for a Violence-free Society was still alive and well, we developed a four-hour domestic violence documentation course. At the time, digital photography was still an infant and had not yet legitimate standing in the forensic world. Therefore, each registrant went home with a top of the line Spectrum Polaroid camera.

Recently, Dr. Rochelle Wilson from southern California wrote to report that she attended one of our courses and, "The camera I received helped commit a child molester since then."

Good work, Dr. W! Every person can make a difference to make the world a better place. Thank you for making a difference in that child's life.
