How Local Touches Global

From Shannon Daley-Harris:

A local book group picked the book as one month's selection. After the group had read it, they had me come speak. One of the participants, who had been featured in the book, was departing the next day for a return trip to Burma/Myanmar. Another participant had been inspired by one of the Our Day actions, and brought to the book club meeting several of the dolls she had knitted that will serve as cushioning for medical supplies being sent overseas, and then the dolls will be given to children there. Another couple were inspired by the water chapter and have committed to taking each of their grandchildren to a developing country to build a well that they will fund.
