Inspired by a wheelchair tennis exhibition held at UCLA in July '04, we decided to take action, thus founding the Watering Seeds Organization. The name was created on the spiritual principle, "it is in giving, we receive...You reap what you sow!” In order for a planted seed to grow, it must be nurtured and watered. Watering that seed symbolizes the time and energy it takes in order for it to take root and produce fruit. It represents the power of God's love through His kingdom. "I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow." (I Corinthians 3:6) One person can start a positive chain reaction that impacts thousands of lives by "watering seeds" of hope and encouragement in a time of need, just like a little water in the summer can provide for a garden full of flowers. By watering one seed at a time, we are empowering lives one by one to fight the "good fight of faith!"

Our wounded veterans who once enjoyed the benefits of being an athlete have that opportunity once again! We at WSO are working diligently to help our injured service men and women lead healthy, active and productive lifestyles. Consequently, this fruitful lifestyle change brings hope and new meaning to one’s life after a disability. From sports wheelchairs and prosthetics, to a multi-million dollar Paralympic training facility, our inevitable goal is to ensure that each and every individual afflicted with a physical disability is aware that we exist to help them at any time!

Society can physically knock us down on the outside, but we must get back up on the inside. With a perseverant spirit and a "can do" attitude, we can learn to grow and bear fruit in the midst of adversities. Strength and character are built during these tough times, and this, ultimately, is what our unsung wounded war heroes exemplify. With courage and fortitude, we can live a fulfilled life of victory and excellence. This is the challenging message of The Watering Seeds Organization.
