World: A Somali-American's Improbable Return - nytimes.com
“If each man or woman could understand that every other human life is as full of sorrows, or joys, or base temptations, of heartaches and of remorse as his own . . . how much kinder, how much gentler he would be.”

This is a really touching video and I really do agree with "One person can change the world." It's amazing to see a person who put others' needs in front of his own and accomplish so much in just one area. It's interesting to see the town support him since he technically is from the states. Even if he left 16 years ago, things change and most regions don't accept outsiders very well. It's also interesting to see how many things he's accomplished since he was there to help the people and how he's trying to improve the area. You can tell that he's really passionate in what he's doing and yet is very realistic in his goals and what he can and can't do.
ReplyDeleteThanks for finding this video! It's wonderful to see what one person can do for the world. :)
