I'd like to acknowledge all those who have contributed to making this world a better place. There are millions of unsung heroes around the world who do good deeds in secret and seek no recognition for themselves. Probably, the original St. Nicholas was one of them.
There are human angels today that you may know or not know who do many good works. To begin with, the TV show, "Extreme Makeover, Home Edition" gives worthy persons a home tailored to their needs and desires.
Big stars, business men and even children have their own foundations for the poor. The late Michael Jackson is one, Oprah Winfrey, is another. The list would also include billionaire, Warren Buffet, Poker Pro, Barry Greenstein, and Hannah Taylor who started "The Lady Bug Foundation" when she was nine years old.
I also appreciate Mother's Teresa's selfless work with the poor, Muhammad Yunus's microfinancing for impoverished women and Tim Berners-Lee's development of the World Wide Web. Probably, the best tool there is in fighting ignorance and prejudice.Most of us may not be rich or brilliant, but we can give some time, food and clothing to reputable charity organizations. We can also pray about the evils that afflict mankind and publish those prayers on a website like www.prayway.com.
There are also those who have created positive and inspirational websites. One of them is "Clarissa's Inspirational Pages". Check out the wonderful songs there.
