Making a Difference

One of my greatest passions is reading (and writing) about people making a positive difference in the lives of other people. I came across a great article published in the Daily Herald this week about a man who lives in Alpine, Utah. This man had the opportunity to visit an orphanage in Indonesia. This experience had such an impact on his life that he decided he needed to take action and help the children in Asia and South America with much needed school supplies and scholarships.
I am impressed with the fact that this man saw a need and acted on it because he not only had the means to do so, but also the desire to make it happen. He wanted to share the gift of knowledge and found a way to make it happen. I believe that it doesn't matter if we are rich or poor, we can find ways to reach out to other people in the community and make a positive impact in their lives.
I know that I personally have a lot of work to do toward reaching my goal of making a positive difference in the lives of other people. I am inspired to do better in this area as I read articles of people who take action to help others in need.
