Finishing off, our Arts Moment shows how epoxy can turn simple things into works of art.
Impact – NAACP
Our country’s Black history inherently includes the fight for civil rights. We take a look at the nation’s oldest and largest civil rights organization – what they’ve achieved and the issues they’re facing today. If you want to get involved, join your local branch such as the one in Lake Elsinore, CA.

Spotlight – Water Equity
Water is a natural resource that should be available to everyone – but it’s not. For 1.42 billion people around the world – including 450 million children, water is scarce. Communities with access to fresh clean water not only experience the economic benefits, but also improved sanitation and elimination of water-born diseases . Philanthropies like Servant Leader Charities are working hard to solve the global water crisis
