One person can ALWAYS make a difference!
From time to time, I post stories from the news which I believe are inspirations to all of us. Today, I am writing about a wonderful 100-year-old British gentleman, Sir Nicholas Winton, and his courageous efforts to save children at the beginning of World War II.
At the end of the summer of 1939, 669 mostly Jewish children were boarding trains in Prague’s Wilson Station, headed for safety in England. Today, in London’s Liverpool Station, Sir Nicholas greeted 22 Holocaust survivors who had recreated their journeys of 70 years ago.
This is a story for the ages. It illustrates one of my most basic beliefs: one person always has, always can, and always will make a difference. Read about this most miraculous effort by following this link to the story which aired on ABC World News this evening. It will warm your heart, perhaps make you cry, and surely will reinforce the truth that there is much good in this world.
We can all be part of something greater than ourselves. We can begin in our own communities - what a wonderful world this can be!
