In his pocket was only $ 25 ... but a great desire to help him change the lives of millions of children!

But that's not every such high-speed and effective pill is right for you. Happiness is something everyone has their own. You can have a great job, a stable salary, the points painted and fully controlled by life, but do not enjoy it. It seems to be the mind understand - that's it, happiness.

At night I woke from a restless inner voice keeps talking, I realize that a lot better if I start to measure life goals rather than dollars. I wanted to be a part of something big, extending far beyond my reach ». I>



You know, it happens that overwhelms you so desire, that seems to be close to him inside you. And the main difference between people for the realization of their dreams and those who always wanted to do but did not do - the decision to turn their desire into the desire to act immediately.

Adam did it. The first thing he did - went out of their comfort zone and decided to get away from the bustle of the city on a trip to faraway India, Vietnam and Africa. It is only by examining the unfamiliar, we cease to dwell on the labels that define what we are and we know who we really are.



During a trip to Asia Adam Brown faced a hopeless poverty. The guy on his way to meet a large number of children who beg passers detail. They say you never know what can change your life. In the case of Adam, it was a meeting with the boy, a beggar in India. Brown looked at the huge brown enormous eyes of the kid and asked him: «What would you put forth, knowing that your every wish will come true?» I> said the boy touched him deeply. The child replied, sincerely: «Pencil». I>



When a pencil in the hands of the boy, his face lit up - he was looking for, as a jewel. Residents of the village explained that the baby simply has never been to school, but had seen other children write with pencils. For all of us a pencil - the usual supplies, but for him - this is the gate to work, the world of knowledge and capabilities.



«I am shocked that a person can not go to school. It was then that I began to realize that this is the fate of a number of children around the world. Maybe a little thing like a pencil - the basis of education, can unleash the potential of the boy? » I> - tells Adam.

We now and then repeat, that we may not affect anything and without more donations can not change someone's life. But when Adam made a mere trifle - handed the child a pencil, that belief shattered. Even big waves start with a small ripple.

In life there are moments when you realize that nothing will not be as before. Since then, the life of Adam Brown changed dramatically. When the man returned to America in his pocket it was only $ 25, but it did not become an obstacle for him. Returning home, he left a prestigious job consultant and plunged into the charity. Brown registered non-profit organization "Pencil of Hope", whose aim was to build a school in Phathenge, South Africa: «Almost everyone I knew, and parents in particular, thought it was complete idiocy. We did not have any permanent employer, or the general sponsor ». I>



We have to admit, the man had to go through a lot and go through the mountain of difficulties, but he never gave himself up the slack and did not stop. In addition, there were kind people who have supported the good intentions of a Man. At the time of the collision priority you should always guide the values, not imaginary needs. Buyers are changeable and depend on the mood and values ​​are timeless and stable.

Just some 5 years around the world have been opened more than 300 schools. And Adam Browne does not stop - it plans to increase the number of schools "Pencil of hope" to 500 by the end of 2015.
