Esteemful acts of Lydia Pendley

“Any person who in any way suffers because of hunger or suffers because of poverty — that affects me. We are in a world that is truly interconnected and we need to all realize that we play a role. No matter what we do, small or large, whether it’s dramatic or not — all contributes.”
These are the words of 66-year-old Lydia Pendley of Santa Fe, NM who has dedicated her life to helping others.
Her esteemful actions are based on her respect for the dignity of every human being and her desire to work for peace and justice in the world.
Lydia Pendley celebrated her last few birthdays a little different than most of us. She registered her party as an event on Stand Up Against Poverty Day. She asked her guests to make a donation instead of bringing gifts and collected more than $2,100.
Lydia Pendley has found her unique expression of giving esteem as a sign against poverty. Her dedication and esteemful actions encourages other people to follow her example and express esteem in a similar way.
