CNN Heroes winner 2015- Maggie Doyne

I was watching the CNN heroes of 2015 and i really got inspired by the stories behind the contenstants but mostly i was touched by the winner's give back story and best of it is that she is just a young lady of 28 years old but living what i have dreamed of doing.

Her story in summary is as follows;
Maggie Doyne created the BlinkNow Foundation to sustain, grow and support Kopila Valley Children’s Home and School in Nepal, and to serve as a vehicle to share her ideas with young people, especially children in the U.S. Maggie believes that in the blink of an eye, we can all make a difference. At age 19, Maggie used her life savings to build a home for orphaned children in war-ravaged Nepal. Today, this home is the legal guardian to 44 children. In 2010, she opened a school for the region’s most impoverished children. The school now serves 350 students and is rated top in the region. Maggie was honored by the Dalai Lama as an Unsung Hero of Compassion in 2014. Her work was championed by Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist Nicholas Kristof in a cover story for The New York Times Magazine. In 2012, Maggie shared her story at the Forbes 400 Summit on Philanthropy, and in 2013 she received the Forbes Award for Excellence in Education.

Well there is nothing noble in this world like doing something from your heart, it always works, and sometimes it is not about having a big capital or having lots of money when it comes to giving or doing something for others.
I have always believed that we were created with a special thing in us. Yes everyone has got something unique that the other doesn't have. whatever it is use it to give life to someone.A giving hand never dries..

a great week to you all.

In order to achieve something great in life,you need to be ready to take some chances that might be quite hard, challenging and even fearful. Life is not that straight as we all want it to be. Most of the times people know what they want and what they should do but they are always afraid of taking chances, putting their vulnerability on the line because of the outcomes that are unknown but also could turn to be very positive.

We are constantly learning new things everyday and sometimes when we think we know it all, the wonder of them all explodes on our face. We are human beings and so humanity comes with error.
