One person CAN make a difference.

I am sure we have all either heard someone else say, thought, or said it ourself - "I am only one person, what I do won't REALLY make a difference". Well, here is the story of one man who was not rich, famous, or talented; who made a very BIG difference to the entire world. One man in a third world country was shopping for a bargain ans saw two words on a label that he had been hearing about in the news. Unable to believe what he had discovered, he spent his pennies to buy the item as proof. The next business day, he took a "vacation" day and spent it going to various government offices and waiting in lines until he found one that would listen to him. Three days later, a worldwide search was started for the product he had paid for and turned in. He received no recognition, no thank you; but, he had a major impact on all of our lives. It took months before a major newspaper was able to track him down and get his story.
