The Blog of Helios: Pop....Thump Thump - Oh Cr*p

This is certainly something I continually rave about. The Helios Project now Reglue has always been one of my favorite causes. It is in a nutshell all about the kids they help and they do it very well.

Today Ken is asking for help in grant writing. This is definitely not a strong point of mine but perhaps someone browsing this blog might be able to lend some time. This is a non-profit organization dedicated to getting computers in the hands of the Austin, Texas and surrounding area children and teens that would otherwise not be able to afford them. This is a project worthy of helping. Browse their blog and within you will find many wonderful deeds and pictures of the smiling faces that say it all.

If this is something you can lend a hand with please extend it to Ken at Reglue through their blog.

Big rave for all that they do everyday.

I'll say it again, I love the community that Linux fosters. The Helios Project is a living example and when the call goes out people respond.  The project's normal mission is a task unto itself. Now Ken and the team are responding for the needs of Autistic children. Someone should be creating an award for the Helios Project and all the people involved. I love to read such positive stories. This is certainly a project worthy in purpose. I wish them the best. I give the Helios Project a big rave and please visit this page and read the story. I guarantee it will move you. If it moves you enough and you are in a position to help, see the sidebar of their blog for ways to help. This is a worthy cause.

Community is one of the biggest draws for myself to Linux. I follow a blog, The Blog of Helios, which is about a project in the Austin Texas area. Their mission is to bring technology to those in need. Mainly households with children and teens in school. I have been following this project for about two years and it never ceases to amaze me the trials Ken and his small staff go through yet they continue on.
I personally am not in a position to help The Helios Project right now. I wish I were because I believe in what they are doing. But perhaps a few of my readers, friends and friends of friends can help. The word needs to go out to as many as possible to help this project meet the goals of bringing access to the Internet to these households. It is not enough to bring in a computer to a home without giving some access to the Internet. Society does not look at computers as merely number crunchers and word processors. If it isn't connected to most people it isn't useful.

If you can help monetarily that would be fantastic. If not keep spreading the word since somewhere someone can. One last thing to remember, this really doesn't ever end. August is really just another chapter for the Helios Project.

I can't say enaough about the work done here. Raves all around for Helios Project and the work they do.
