How YOU Can Make a Difference in the World TODAY
"These inspiring teens show us that by giving to others, we realize our best selves. Jackie Waldman has written a deeply moving book about the power of young people to change the world." -ANDREW SHUE, actor and cofounder of Do Something
Meet an amputee running in the Paralympics and spurring others on with his inner resolve la cancer patient's son creating support groups around the country for kids with sick parents; a girl who helped her mother and younger sister as they died of AIDS and is now an AIDS awareness and prevention volunteer, and one of the students from the Littleton, Colorado shooting who has gone on to create a teen drop-in center. The author of The Courage to Give and Oprah! guest Jackie Waldman profiles thirty amazing teens and invites you to go with them on their incredible Journeys of self-discovery.
From the book: Let these teens share their pain and their healing with you. They want you to experience what they have learned-when you help others you help yourself. As Tessa Thompson, one of the teens profiled, says, "The courage to give is the fuel to live."
