I'm not saying digging wells or feeding the hungry or setting slaves free is easy. But this whole thing of one dollar supplying enough clean water for one person for one year gives me hope. These scarcities and their pesky cousins (disease, famine, homelessness, death) do not have to have the final say. There are tangible, doable solutions. Today, as I think of all that's wrong with the world, I am strangely filled with some kind of hope.
