Whether we are talking about making a difference for people in Africa, kids in the inner city, or animals on a factory farm, it is so important to show compassion by taking action. This story shows that you can make a difference by supporting a worthy cause. If you look at the big picture of global poverty, violence against women, or violence toward animals it can seem overwhelming. But just look at the difference these two young people, one Kenyan, one American, are making for the young girls in this Kenyan slum! It's amazing and I hope we can all find some way to take action that can impact individuals who need a little hope in their lives.

You Can Make a Difference
I know this blog is about food and health and veganism, but I have to share a link to an amazing editorial I read in the Times this morning by Nicholas Kristof. Kristof's columns are frequently about the plight of women in third world countries and the stories he shares can be compelling and disturbing but he brings attention to situations that would otherwise remain in the shadows. Please read this hopeful editorial today.
