  1. Thank you, Evan, for sharing this video with us.

    Sometimes we are tricked into thinking that we can’t do anything about all the horrible things that are happening in the world, or even in our own personal experiences.

    But, down deep, WE DO KNOW HOW, and Mary Baker Eddy tells us: “I am able to impart truth, health, and happiness, and this is my rock of salvation and my reason for existing.” Miscellany 165: 20. sas

  2. I googled Wangari Maathal (have to admit I didn’t know who she was). What an amazing woman, and if you read her bio you will see that she WAS like the hummingbird, always doing her best to address and solve first AFrica’s, and then, global problems. NO wonder she won the Nobel Peace Prize. What a legacy she has left. Thank you for sharing this, what a wonderful video to share with children. Thinking of the time wasted in our culture celebrating celebrities of no substance or accomplishment. Now this is a heroine, deserving of front page news and attention!
