The Power of One

With issues like the Darfur crisis, many people question what kind of a real impact a single individual (such as you or me) can have on something so far away from one’s own backyard.

To these people, I would like to introduce the story of Spencer Brodsky, a Maryland teenager.

Brodsky, just 17 years old, has worked to provide over 400 fuel-efficient stoves to the women of Darfur. These stoves allow the women to reduce the number of times they must venture from the safety of their camps to gather firewood.

The power of one is alive and well. Brodsky made a difference. I can make a difference. You can make a difference.
