Grassroots Movements

I was on the 9News website checking out the news in Colorado for the day and I came across a story about a single mom who decided to start a journey to find people who work to serve their communities in creative ways. It's an interesting idea and made me think of our discussion this week about what we can do once we see something (the movie about Nepalese trafficking) that moves us. 50 in 52 Journey. Dafna Michaelson's journey also reminds me of my favorite Sunday night radio program etown which is also Colorado-based but recognizes caring community members through the e-chievement award. Listening to these stories remind me that there are a lot of ordinary people out there in the world doing extraordinary things, even if it's just a normal day to them.
