words i am pondering today



Do your little bit of good where you are; it is those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world.--Desmond Tutu

oh, i love to share something good in the world!

Check out this article, on an innovative program in India that is raising up women from underdeveloped nations all over the world, and using them to better their home countries.  So inspiring!  Just look at the women of all different ages and hues gathered in one room, learning, each in their own traditional colorful garb.  Just think about the two women from Afghanistan who could not attend the school without their husbands going along as chaperones, but who then taught and literally empowered 27 more Afghan women to bring electricity to their villages.  This must affect how women are viewed in such a male-dominated country. 

Made me cry!

  1. What a vision! I love the reason he wants to teach women rather than men.
