Dr. Lewis Aptekar: Ways to Make the World a Better Place


Dr. Lewis Aptekar was a Professor in Counselor Education at San José State University’s Connie L. Lurie College of Education until 2016, when he entered retirement. Throughout his career, he’s maintained an excellent reputation for compassion, kindness and humanitarian drive, and he continues to do so today. For decades, he’s worked to make the world a better place and to encourage others to do the same, and his published works display this passion in raw detail time and time again.
If you want to join Dr. Lewis Aptekar in making the world a better place, consider reading “In the Lion's Mouth: Hope and Heartbreak in Humanitarian Assistance” (2010) for a deeper look at his efforts. Meanwhile, simple actions like these can help you better the world in meaningful ways:



·         Donate Clean Water
Many people around the world live every day without clean water to drink. There’s a drought epidemic underway, and donating clean water to those in need is an excellent way to give back. Look for organizations and charities working to end this epidemic, make donations and get involved with volunteer work, if possible. Along the same line, conserve water by taking shorter showers, turning off the faucet when it isn’t in use and otherwise limiting your usage.

·         Volunteer at Schools and Youth Programs
School children need loving support so they can learn, grow and develop to become tomorrow’s leaders. Whatever age of children you enjoy working with, explore opportunities in your area to volunteer with them at schools and youth programs. From tutoring and mentoring to leading an after school youth program on your own, every effort to help children in your community and around the world makes the world a better place.

·         Get Friends Involved
If you find a volunteer opportunity that you love, or a charity you want to support more, get your friends involved. Ask them to volunteer with you, give what they can and otherwise spread the word. You might invite a friend to travel to another country with you to help during a time of crisis, or you might simply ask them to do a charity walk around your neighborhood. Whatever the case, involving others spreads the spirit of compassion and further improves the world.
