Be the change

Do you ever get the feeling that someone else came up with your brilliant idea right before you had the ability to act on said great idea?  I have.  Do you ever feel like you aren't able to do enough to help those who need it in a big way?  I do.  Daily!

Ghandi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world" which I believes you have to stand up and take action.  There is no time for excuses or hypocrisy.

This gentleman certainly found a way to "be the change" in a simple, yet creative way.  He gets the used soap from hotels, recycles it by breaking it down, has it reformed again, and brings it to Africa to help fight their simple problem.  Clean hands reduces the rates of deaths associated with diarrhea 40%.  As he says, "we're humans, we've gone to the moon and back, we can do this!"  Amen.
