Have patience! In time, even grass becomes milk.

"On her first visit, Rachel walked alone among the poor of Smokey Mountain, also known as 'trash mountain.' She visited slum areas, distributed food, medicine and clothes, all purchased with her own money. Back home in Norway, she lectured about poverty in Manilla. Her advocacy became so great that the Ma'Ma Children's Center of Norway (MMCCN) was founded, which is still led by 80-year-old Rachel Tovi.
"MMCCN says it aims to 'help people help themselves' by educating the poor in the Philippines so they can become financially independent. MMCCN's work began with children and single mothers, but now includes older people, underage prisoners and slum families. MMCCN runs six preschools, three orphanages, a center for single mothers, a home for the elderly, a drop-in center for families in slums and a community center. The organization has paid for the education of some 26,000 children."

Dibujando con Niños / Drawing with Children
Authors, Roxana Salazar and Maria Carmen Schulze, describe in words (English and Spanish) and photos their work in Bolivia teaching children to draw using elements in their natural environment. This short (24 pages) book combines both a theoretical framework as well as real life examples, woven together by the amazing passion of the authors.
Modelando con ninos menores de seis anos / Modeling with children under six years old
Children represent their understandings and develop hypotheses through modeling with clay. Stunning photography and text in English and Spanish share the authors' premise that children can learn and express themselves through materials, given the nurturing of adults who see the possibilities in the resources and the potential of each child.

There is one supreme power who keys the universe . So everywhere there is
ONE whose power is spread ed out among the others through which everybody works with power of that.

Another person came to mind when reading this...Greg Mortenson and his schools in Pakistan and Afganistan. A huge movement of work and people began with his initiative to obtain a school for the children who had none.

What an uplifting story. This is most truly an inspiration for all of us. She reminds me of the work of Mother Theresa. She did what she did because it was necessary. Someone must take the first step. Others will follow by example.
