A little story shared by Christine, our auditor:

Author and lecturer Leo Buscaglia once talked about a contest, he was asked to judge. The purpose of the contest was to find the most caring child.
The winner was a four-year-old child, whose next door neighbor was an elderly gentleman, who had recently lost his wife. Upon seeing the man cry, the little boy went into the old Gentleman's' yard, climbed onto his lap, and just sat there. When his mother asked him what he had  said to the neighbor, the little boy just said, 'Nothing, I just Helped him cry.'


See "Giramondo" Globetrotter! You can add your special photos taken around the world and add comments to the posted ones.

What can I do now to help make the world a better place?

I canplant trees and take good care of them. I can save the water and ask myparents to do so. I won't throw any litter onto the ground and I cancollect them for recycling. I also can educate people to think aboutthe problems.  Vicky, China
