Making a Difference


I ran across this article on CNN and really found it amazing. Here, Spencer Brodsky, a 17 year old Jewish boy from Maryland created a project to buy stoves for the women of Darfur. Now we're not talking about GE Profile, rather smaill efficient wood-burning stoves. These stoves are important because firewood there is scarce and many women are raped or murdered as they roam miles and miles from their homes foraging for firewood to cook their food.
Many of us talk about making a difference, but seldom do. Here is an extraordinary young man who is making a tremendous difference before he is even old enough to vote! If you are as moved by his effort as the ABM was, I hope that you will consider donating $30 to buy one of these stoves to support this project. Below is the link to Spencer's website, where you can read his story and about the women of Darfur. There is also a link on it for donations.
