INSPIRED

I have been stressed lately due to various things in my life and I've been feeling really down but I just watched the most amazing documentary (see below) and all I can say is the following:

Someone always has problems worse than your own - Be grateful for what you do have and pray for others!

I just watched the most amazing and inspiring documentary on HBO called A Small Act!

The documentary was moving and awe inspiring.  Here is what the movie is about - this was taken from the A Small Act website:

When Hilde Back sponsored a young, rural Kenyan student, she thought nothing of it. She certainly never expected to hear from him, but years later she does. Now a Harvard graduate and a Human Rights Lawyer for the United Nations, Chris Mburu decides to find the stranger that changed his life. Inspired by her generosity, he starts a scholarship program of his own and names it for his former benefactor.

The top students in Mukubu primary school are in the exact same situation as Chris once was. They are bright, but can’t afford to pay school fees. With the creation of Chris’ fund, these students have new hope. But the program is small; how many will qualify for a scholarship?

Using a strong narrative, the film interweaves seemingly separate lives into a cohesive whole. With clarity and grace, A SMALL ACT, bears witness to the ripple effect a single action can create.

AMAZING!!!!  ONE SMALL ACT CAN CHANGE A LIFE!!!!  ONE SMALL ACT CAN CHANGE THE WORLD!!!!
