Recently divorced in my 30s, I had no job and was on my way downtown on a rainy day to go to the employment offices. I had no umbrella, for my old one had 1 apart, and I couldn"t afford another one. I sat down in the streetcar-there against the 2 was a beautiful silk umbrella with a silver handle inlaid with gold and bright enamel (珐琅). I had never seen anything so lovely. I 3 the handle and saw a name on it. The 4 procedure would have been to turn in the umbre la to the conductor, but I decided to take it and find the 5 myself. I got off the streetcar in a downpour and 6 opened the umbrella to protect myself. Then I searched a telephone book for the 7 on the umbrella and found it: I called and a lady answered. Yes, she said in 8 , that was her umbrella, which her parents, now dead, had given her as a birthday present, but it"d been 9 from her locker at school years before. She was so excited that I forgot I was looking for a job and went 10 to her house. She took the umbrella, her eyes filled with tears. I was only too happy to see her get back the lost umbrella, and get a job she offered me. |

The project started taking form well before anyone knew where it would lead-which is to test the power of like-minded people working together to turn inspiration into action. Four years ago Bobby was in Rwanda offering help to the people there and taking photos of a child soldier named Moise with his"soccer ball", which was a pile of rubbish tied together with a string. This "ball" was the only thing Moise could call his own-no family, no home, no place to go. Forced to fight in the Congo and having killed three people at the unbearably young age of seven, the boy"s spirit was broken. And Bobby knew, as he took one photo after the next, that he"d never forget him In fact, he returned the following year to tell Moise he had stayed deep within his heart-but he was gone. I recently helped Bobby launch his new book The Power of the Invisible Sun which features a photo of Moise, his ball, and kids from wartorn areas around the world. All of his earnings go towards the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT for the kids he visited over the past decade. They caught the emotional landscape from heartbreak to joy, but share the undeniable longing for recovery and hope. Bobby and I share the unchangeable belief that delivering hope is really a game-changer, especially to a child. We believe that each indestructible ball will come to represent a lasting symbol of hope. A light no matter how small-The Power of the Invisible Sun. This holiday season, I ask you to think about whether you are doing enough to help someone else in the world. Or as Bobby likes to put it, consider "taking a concrete baby step", which added together, can create transformational change. It"s my great hope that the HOPE IS A GAME-CHANGER PROJECT will change the lives of children the world over-one book, one ball at a time. | 1.

It can 1 all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the 2 for each child to find their light. I would like to 3 a story about it. For a few years I was 4 with the opportunity to teach disabled students. One of my most 5 students was a five-year-old girl called Vanessa, who had difficulty walking, and could not speak. We 6 sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to 7 on my lap (膝上). One of her favorite songs was "John the Rabbit." It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students 8 twice while singing the repeating phrase, "Oh, yes!" Vanessa liked to 9 her hands together with mine and clap with me. We probably performed that song during every class, Vanessa and I clapping together. But she 10 said or sang a word. One day, when the song was finished, Vanessa turned around, 11 me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands twice and said the words "Oh, yes!" I opened my mouth in 12 and for that moment l was the one who could not speak. When my heart 13 started beating again, I looked over at the assistant teacher to find her also 14 . Through music, we had made an awesome connection. Several years later, Imet Vanessa on the street in town. She waved with a big 15 on her face and then clapped her hands twice, imitating the song we had 16 so many times in out music class. The little girl, 17 her connection with music, left an impression on me that will last forever. Every child has the 18 to learn and grow. It is up to us to 19 the way to reach each and every one of our students.
