President Obama may have won the Nobel Peace Prize for perception, but there’s a candidate in that group that put his money where his mouth is, and today could have really used the million to not only give hope, but bring real change.
Check out Greg Mortenson. He has a fascinating story to tell, and is bringing peace to the world one child at a time. Isn’t that what we are called to do? Love and charity. Astounding, the power in that action.
He didn’t get the Nobel, but as far as I’m concerned, he is far more Noble. I encourage you to look at this man’s life work, and consider donating to his cause, Pennies for Peace. It’s a clever idea. Educate girls. Empower them with knowledge and skills. Teach them to raise boys that aren’t savages and respect women. Clever.
