We've done something really really exciting--designed a volunteering web portal for every major city in America. 
Join World Vision's ACT:S in organizing a Day of Prayer and Action on your campus, church or community. October 1 is the first day of the federal government’s fiscal year. To kick-start this new year, join us in telling our elected leaders that we are praying for them.
