Better People With More Good To Do!

People saving whales,
And giving your thanks to our seas,
My respect to the ones in the forest,
Standing up for our old treesThem giving food to the hungry,
Hope to the needy,
Giving life to a baby,
Giving care for free,
‘Cause there is freedom around us,
We have everything we need,
And I will care for you,
‘Cause you care for me.
And we all have opinions,
Some of them get through,
But there’s better people,
With more good to do.
Good to do

And what I have could be my search
Or just some words
From my heart
My respect to the ones making changes
For all the lives they’ll give their allLike…

When our world it keeps spinning round and round it goes
Human nature keeps spreading its disease
And our children keep growing up with what they know
From what they teach and what they see
And it’s only a question of the time we have
And the lives that our children need
Cause they can only keep growing up with what they know
And what we teach, and what they seeLike…

Good to do
Oooo good to do

Zatoun “Dear friends and supporters of Zatoun,  For many this is a joyous time of year when we focus on the “light” which is given from above.  Regardless of specific religion, they all exalt the light and give it a special role in rituals and festivals. A Gift of Light for family, friends and teachers - everyoneZatoun Fair Trade Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a meaningful, inclusive and delicious gift for everyone (almost) on your list.   However much Zatoun helps Palestinian farming families, press operators, bottlers, carton makers, laborers in the West Bank - its other great benefit is to connect us here in North America with Palestinians living the daily reality of brutal military occupation and its inhuman consequences.  This awareness helps to spur us on to solidarity and finding a voice within our communities, the media and our political leadership to counter this dark reality.” From Zatoun - products available at The Better Good.
