Me to We

I have been reading a book Me to We written by two Toronto young people Craig and Marc Kielburger. It is categorized as a self help book. "Imagine waking up every morning believing that your actions can make a difference". They founded a charity called Free the Children. In their book they describe a Yugoslavian lady called Agnes. She trained as a teacher. She became ill with the potentially fatal disease of tuberculosis. She recovered, took in a dying woman. In 1979 she won the Nobel Peace Prize. she formed the Missionaries of Charity organisation which has 500 centres in 120 countries. We know her as Mother Teresa. One person can make a difference. I recommend the book.
