DAILY POINTS OF LIGHT NOMINATION

Donneth Wedderburn
FFC President/ Founder

Family & Friends Connection, Inc (FFC), President & Founder, Donneth Wedderburn has been nominated for a Daily Points of Light Award from The Points Of Light Institute.  

Points of Light Institute embraces service and civic engagement as fundamental to a purposeful life and essential to a healthy world.   For more than 20 years of history, this  bi-partisan presidential legacy, the largest national volunteer footprint in the nation, has been recognizing volunteer leaders in our country.  In his Inaugural Address, President George H. W. Bush called on Americans to engage in hands-on, active service to their country and communities.  He called the individuals and groups doing this kind of work “points of light.”  

 "Points of Light are the soul of America. They are ordinary people who reach beyond themselves to the lives of those in need, brining hope and opportunity, care and friendship." -- Former President George H. W. Bush  

DAILY POINT OF LIGHT AWARDS
The Daily Point of Light Award honors individuals and volunteer groups who are helping to meet critical needs in their communities and creating change every day. It is through their stories that people are inspired to serve and begin to recognize their personal power to transform themselves and the world around them.

When Donneth takes home this award, she will share it with her husband of more than 20 years, Kevin, and daughters Shaneil and Karena.   She always give thanks to them for giving her more free time to help others in need.  

Not by any coincidence at all,  her daughter Shaneil is a dual enrolled student.  She is enrolled in college and high school at the same time, and maintains a higher than 5.0 GPA.  She helps her mom and the Family & Friends Connection, Inc. organization, by providing tutoring to neighborhood kids, and you will always see her volunteering at FFC community outreach events.   Last time I saw her at an even, was at the recent FFC Community Life Empowerment Conference where she was one of the official photographers.  

Her youngest daughter Karena, attends middle school, and is a budding pianist.  She is enrolled at a magnet school for the Performing Arts.  She too uses her talents to support her mom when she sometimes plays at FFC events.

Mr. Nathan, you should be here.  You were so instrumental in helping Donneth keep this vision alive.  Without your support in the early days of 2006 when she saw the needs of the marginalized families in her neighborhood, and surrounding communities, and founded Family & Friends Connection, Inc (FFC), she probably would not have been able to keep going when there were so many skeptics.  You were a guiding light and a source of strength and encouragement.  She thanks you every day.

All the foundation members of FFC, who are too many to name, you helped her to get this nomination.  She led by example, and through your help with the hard work, she had been recognized for her selflessness, drive and determination to make lives better.   Congratulations to all of you for helping to get the job done.  (Get some rest because your work is just beginning).

So in a sense, when  this award is won, it will be shared by her immediate family, and the entire FFC family.  Congratulations to all of you.
