Tired of election ads on TV? Yes, me too. Stressed out about the economy? Oh yes,  for sure  me too. Well the World is still turning and people are still doing remarkable things to help others. Whether you vote or not, read this CNN synopsis of remarkable people  and the kind of work they are doing in this Country and out in the World.

There are ten people. One gentleman uses heavy equipment, at his own expense, to clear roads after tornados and hurricanes so relief work can get to the people who need it. One woman and her boyfriend quit their jobs in DC and went to St. Bernard’s Parish to help rebuild homes…they had no carpentry skills but locals helped them learn. Several are promoting literacy and schooling efforts in their home towns or country of origin. In a lot of cases, the $100,000 reward money can provide a big bang for your buck to these kinds of programs.  One woman sends one third of her monthly salary ($1,000) to her home town to keep learning alive. Another woman started a school in her grandmother’s home while she was still living in this Country.

And it was remarkable to see that once young people started learning, they became entrepreneurs.  Their own idea to help fund the school. It began with learning how to bake.  Then they learned how to make things like dolls. 

Not only will reading about these people and the remarkable organizations they founded make you feel good, but you can vote for one of them and maybe get them more funding.

There will be a show on CNN on Thanksgiving night about these amazing people and the person chosen as hero of the year.  Of course they are all heroes.

Peace out – 3C
