At my local library, I heard John Breen tell the story of how he had wanted to help his friend, a doctor taking care of children in Africa. John had wanted to send crayons and coloring books to the children, but his friend said that they were too hungry to color, that what they really needed was food. John went on to create the website freerice.com. Students go to this website to test their English vocabulary and grammar, and their correct answers donate grains of rice to the poor. I love using this kind of story in my classroom; one person can make a profound difference.

I have found several true stories like this on the program Sunday Morning, a CBS news program. For example, there was a story about a woman who started a school for refugee children. Another story was about a woman who founded Beads for Courage. Volunteers make glass beads for children who have cancer. For each particular medical procedure the children go through, they receive a specific colored bead. These beads form necklaces and serve as reminders of the procedures. Showing their necklace, a colorful badge of courage, the children are able to tell their stories to others.
