Ever wonder how can you maximize your visit to Tybee Island? We have gathered the best insider tips so you can plan a dream trip to one of the most unique places you'll ever visit. BEST PLACE TO LAY DOWN YOUR TOWEL Park near the Tybee Beach Beach and Pavilion ( Tybrisa St, Tybee Island, GA 31328) use the bridge in front of the Tybee Island Marine Center turn right and walk towards the rock formation close to the sand dunes. This portion of the beach has a smoother sand, lots of shallow areas that are perfect for little kids to bathe safely, is less crowded, and because it's close to the sand dunes you will see a large variety of seaside birds.
Housing is a Human Right
Today I'm joining hundreds of bloggers, social media users, vloggers, podcasters, designers, infographic and data producers for "Blog Action Day". Blog Action Day is the one day of the year where thousands of bloggers, from all over the world can work together to focus on one important global topic, and help raise awareness and money for charities and social causes.
When it comes to human rights I strongly believe that every human being has the right to have access to adequate housing. The need for transitional housing in metro Atlanta and across the country is greater now than ever before. According to homeless census data estimates, more than 10,000 people in metro Atlanta experience homelessness on any given night, with more than 40 percent being women and children. A comprehensive, three-county survey of Atlanta's homeless shelters found a shortage of 1,700 beds for all single homeless people, including children and youth. According to the National Alliance to End Homelessness (NAEH), between 700,000 and 800,000 people are homeless on any given night in the U.S., with between 2.5 and 3.5 million people experiencing homelessness during the course of a year.
Is hard to believe that Atlanta is the poorest city in the U.S. for children - more children in Atlanta live in poverty than in any other city. There are several non-profit organizations in Atlanta that work day and night to help families overcome homelessness. Please visit their website and learn about events, fundraising initiatives, and volunteering opportunities. When we work togheter, join our skills, and pour our heart and soul toward people who in many ocassions only have the clothes on their back, amazing things can happen. To change one life is to change the world!!
