Montel highlights people who make a difference in others’ lives
Two organizations referenced on the Montel Williams Show this week are worth mentioning.
Voices, with the tagline “one voice can lead to a chorus for change”, is looking to “honor five extraordinary women for their passion, leadership and achievements as everyday women who raise their voices to make a difference in their communities.” Deadlines for 2005 nominations is August 31, 2005. Last year’s winners are all extraordinary in their success and passion to help others in their own communities without a national spotlight and/or major financial donors. I hope that I, too, in my lifetime will be able to do something meaningful to help others on some scale.
And The California Innocence Project profiles one University’s success in helping four men who had been falsely accused of crimes they didn’t commit by eventually getting their sentences overturned. Three of these four men had already served over a dozen years in prison. Makes me look at my perceived problems in life in a whole different light.
