Zithunzi zankhanza ndi zosadetsa nkhawa zomwe zajambula mitu yankhani ndikudzutsa mkwiyo pakati pa anthu padziko lonse lapansi mwezi uno zimatikakamiza kuzindikira kuti, monga dziko, tikulepherabe kutsimikizira aliyense za ufulu wachibadwidwe waumunthu ndi kufanana kwa Dr. King's Dream ndi zomwe zinalonjezedwa mu Constitution ya US. M'malo mwake, ndi chikumbutso chomvetsa chisoni kuti dziko lathu silinatsimikizirepo aliyense za ufulu wachibadwidwe ndi kufanana.
California ReLeaf imagwira ntchito limodzi ndi mabungwe achilungamo m'madera ambiri osowa kuti amange midzi yamphamvu, yobiriwira, komanso yathanzi kudzera m'mitengo. Kuwona ntchito yodabwitsa yomwe mabwenziwa akugwira komanso zovuta zomwe amakumana nazo kwatithandiza kumvetsetsa chifukwa chake tiyenera kusiya zomwe timazidziwa ndikutulutsa mawu athu kuti tithandizire zoyesayesa zomwe zikulimbana ndi kuthetsa kusalungama kwamitundu ndi chilengedwe komwe maderawa amakumana nawo tsiku lililonse.
Ngakhale tikudziwa bwino lomwe kuti zochita zathu sizingathetse kusayeruzika komwe kumachitikira madera ena, m'munsimu muli zina mwa zinthu zomwe California ReLeaf ikuchita pofuna kuthandizira chilungamo. Timagawana nawo ndi chiyembekezo kuti izi zimayatsanso kwa ena chikhumbo chomwecho chotuluka m'malo awo otonthoza ndikukankhira patsogolo:

Onani kalata yathu yothandizira pano.
- Wolemba nawo a Mndandanda wamasamba 10 wamalingaliro oti mungoyankha ndi kuchira kwa COVID-19 kuti muthandizire madera olimba.

Zopereka zathu zidzapangidwa mogwirizana kwambiri ndi omwe akhala akugwira nawo ntchito zachilungamo kwa nthawi yayitali ndikupereka chithandizo chofunikira chaukadaulo kwa omwe akufuna thandizo latsopano omwe akufuna "kuphunzira dongosolo" la thandizo la boma kuti atukule madera awo.
Tipitiliza kuwunika ndondomeko zathu ndi machitidwe athu kuti tiganizire zomwe tingachite kuti tipite patsogolo ku California ReLeaf, popeza tikudziwa kuti pali ntchito yambiri yoti ichitike. Tidzakulitsa mawu a POC mu ntchito za anthu a m'nkhalango za m'tauni kuti tiwonjezere kusiyanasiyana, kuyanjana ndi kuphatikizidwa mu ReLeaf Network.
