17 year old changing the world and follow up from yesterdays micro finance story

A Teen in Mozambique--Clinton Global Initiative 2007 This is an incredible story of a 17 year old in Massachusetts who is on a campaign to change the world. He's also the kind of kid who, when he was 13, instructed friends and family to donate money to a nongovernment organization called VillageReach, in lieu of bar mitzvah gifts.

I'll let you read the story (here) but the point i want to make is. One person can change the world; in this case a teenager.

1. get over yourself
2. give of yourself
3. go beyond yourself
4. leave a legacy
