Finding a Need and Filling It

7/28/2023

In 2008, first grade teacher Alvin Irby stopped by a Bronx barbershop for a haircut. Before long, one of his students came in. Alvin noticed the child looking bored, and he was thinking, “He should be practicing his reading, but there were no books in the shop.” So he started Barbershop Books, a nonprofit that has delivered more than 50,000 free children’s books to more than 200 barbershops in predominantly Black neighborhoods across the country.
“The secret to success is find a need and fill it; find a problem and solve it; find a hurt and heal it.” – Robert Schuller
Affirmative prayer: Today I am of high service to another. I invite the opportunity and inspiration to give something, to do something, to care for someone with Divine intention. Thank you, God, for the blessed moment of connection. Amen.
