THE MORATORIUM ON SELFISHNESS WALK

Author/Motivational Speaker Jovan Roseboro walks from Fayettesville, NC to Washington, DC in an effort to encourage selflessness amongst Americans.

Fayyetteville, NC – Jovan Roseboro, author and speaker, will begin the “Moratorium on Selfishness” campaign on Thursday April 23, 2009. A walk that is expected to take 15-20 days beginning in Fayettesville, NC and ending in Washington, D.C. While traveling Jovan will be keeping written and audio records of his travel as he encourages people to be more humane to one another. Mr. Roseboro ask that all recipients of this release forward it so that the message is dispersed throughout the region prior to his arrival in the nation’s capital.

Updates on Jovan’s progress and his location from day to day information will be loaded daily to www.changeispossible.bravehost.com. When available video will also be uploaded to http://www.youtube.com/user/JovanRoseboro. Those willing to sacrifice their time and body to the campaign are encouraged to meet Jovan on the road and join him, those who are unable are asked to during the 15-20 period perform a selfless act for a person in need within in your own community. These acts should continue to pay it forward is Jovan’s desire.

Mr. Roseboro attributes his motivation to spearhead such an undertaking with little resources and finances to Pres. Obama, he believes that showing children an ordinary person making an extraordinary sacrifice will encourage others to be more selfless. Jovan considers this his contribution to the change that our country desires and needs. His devotion to the project mirroring the title of his book “The Only One Who Can Stop Me Is Me”, Jovan has began this journey alone. Whether others join him on the road or not is not as important to him as the acts of servitude and philanthropic spirit that he is trying to be a catalyst for.  Hourly updates are also available at https://twitter.com/jovanroseboro

R. F. Maldonado

“Having been clean and sober more than 21 years of my life at this writing, I firmly believe that it was all a part of God’s grand plan for me to live while so many had to die… and possibly for two reasons.

I believe the first reason is for me to be able to pass on the message of hope to others still suffering from any addictions.

Once I became capable of understanding that I wasn’t just simply weak or crazy, but that I

The Moratorium on Selfishness

Servant Leadership

In the perusal of the issues that exist in our communities today…I’ve discovered that there’s an immediate need for a moratorium on selfishness. Over time ,…we’ve somehow.. Inconspicuously become less humanitarian and less compassionate…There’s an immediate need for… a call to action.

This call to action requires the masses to be proficient in Servant Leadership. It requires that we expeditiously..become philanthropic creatures. There’s a demand for love in our world, yet the supply seems..to be abating as each day goes by.

Jason A. Dingus – His Writing

- Jason A. Dingus, author of My Judge and Jury: Convicted For My Differences (Candalyse Publishing, 2008), is an inspiration to many. He possesses the strength of character that many, much older than he is, only wish they had. Perhaps, it was the constant verbal and physical abuse suffered at the hands of small town folk who refused to accept his differences. Or, maybe his strength comes from his strong desire to show others that we are all the same in reality and we must accept those who appear different. No matter how Jason obtained his inner strength, he draws from his life experiences to compile a powerful book of poetry that chronicles his life.
