Okay, there is this really great website out there - ted.com - that has speeches about all sorts of topics, by famous people from all over the world. The site also selects some of the participants (I think three a year) to "Make a Wish". Dave Eggers (an author) has made a wish in relation to schools, and volunteer help. Its a great speech/explanation that he gives, and can be found here:

In relation to the wish that he has made, there is also a website that he has set up here:

I think the idea is fabulous, and wonder how (not being famous, or rich), I could start the same idea here in the big city!
Check it out when you have the chance, I found it extremely inspiring. |
