broached the subject. But we need LOTS of voices chiming in alongside you. Not just you. I'd hope that ANY of us who had a chance to get involved with such organizations as Habitat for Humanity plant this seed. I'd bet you've already thought of all these things, but since it remains a problem, one might assume that not too many others are trying to plant this kind of seed, or perhaps it hasn't even occurred to anyone.

I wonder how many people who do donate to Habitat, or who volunteer, ever get into conversation while they're at it, with some of the officials (if any are present, onsite) and ask them about their rules, the details of their mission statement, their bylaws, board meetings, etc., or challenge them on any of the finer points.
