It's Not My Problem...Or Is It?

An elderly woman in Haiti handed me a small plastic bag and thanked me for items she had received from us earlier in the day. I opened the bag to find seeds. It was a gift beyond
measure. No matter the size of the gift, others need what we have to offer. We all have much to give, but it starts with realizing that others' problems are our problems.

It's Not My Problem ... Or Is It? will take you on a path of discovery on how experiences can change your life and the life of others. Follow a journey of stories and encounters that grew a nudge into a nonprofit serving in Haiti.

"I couldn't put this book down From start to finish, I was engaged and saying to myself: We
must go deeper. We must do something. We must listen. We must make a difference-person by person."-Jeff Veltkamp, director of development, South Dakota Community Foundation

"In this exciting book, Bruce Blumer wants to help you combat the impulse to assume that someone else will respond to the needs of the world. This book will encourage, inspire, and
challenge you to do something about the needs that are inches away from you and a world away from you. As it turns out, it is your problem."-Dave Campbell, lead pastor, Invitation
Church, Sioux Falls, SD

"This book invites us to see with new eyes and then take action to make a difference.
The colorful stories found within It's Not My Problem ... Or Is It? bring Haiti to life-the
challenges, the beautiful, generous people, and the poverty that seems insurmountable. If
you've ever asked yourself, 'But how can I make a difference?, ' this book provides a path to
take the first steps on a journey that could be life changing."-Sarah Kaspari Baker,
family nurse practitioner and friend of Haiti

"I thought it was a great call to action. Feel the feels and then do something. Here's how."
