On the Tazo tea box on my desk, there is a description on the back which reads: "A delicately balanced blend of green tea, spearmint, lemon verbena & lemongrass." If the advertising department at Tazo can write such a eloquent description of simple tea, I wonder how LINC North Texas's work would be written about: "A superb and robust blend of teachers, students, volunteers and donors gives LINC NT a strikingly bold and reviving capacity for transforming the lives of families and their students, drawing out sweet harmonious notes of community with a nicely developed warmth . . . "
But kids are not tea, and despite all the eloquent wording that could be written about what we do here, one would be hard pressed to measure our impact in any other currency than this: action. Our aim is to change the lives of those we reach, and we can only do this because of the actions of our teachers, donors, and employees. These actions not only speak louder than words; they shout. Though words are powerful, it is the 'walk' that truly fights in the trenches.
At LINC North Texas we strive to walk the walk. We know that like farmers planting seeds, the grounds are fertile for an abundant crop - that even if we just reach one person, that person has the potential to reach many others. We thank you for your continued physical, spiritual, and financial support - your actions speak for themselves.
