Since Stevie Wonder made an astounding surprise special guest appearance at a Jazz concert I was lucky enough to attend recently at the Hollywood Bowl, I've been visiting his music all over again. This has always been a favorite of mine.  But then again, there are so many more I love equally as well. What can I say? Absolutely Wonder-full!

I have found myself in absolute admiration for Jeff Skoll and the work that he's doing with the Skoll Foundation and the Uncommon Heroes documentaries. After seeing his TED talk "Film producer Jeff Skoll (An Inconvenient Truth) talks about his film company, Participant Productions, and the people who've inspired him to do good." It led me to looking further into his career of shedding light on Social Entrepreneurship.


"I started Participant Productions with the vision to be a global media company focused on the public interest and our mission is to produce entertainment that creates and inspires social change." –Jeff Skoll

I know that most will never see what AIDS can do to a person, how sick and debilitated one can become from the suffering caused by this disease...I have. Even at the young age in which I encountered myself watching the havoc tear apart a life that I cherished, I felt the sad feeling of helplessness. At that time AIDS was not as prevalent and treatment was scarce and experimental, eventually her only way to end suffering was suicide. This experience left a need for me to be a constant voice for the cause. I have become one of many that is whispering, speaking, pushing and shouting, when need be, just to get the message out that the need for every one of us to intervene, in any small way we can, is vast. We cannot standby and let the poor, underprivileged and geographically unfortunate suffer. We should all find a role of responsibility in the line of global support to facilitate treatment and better living for those that we will never meet. There are approximately 301 million people in the US, if we all just gave $1, just one dollar to support the cause globally, we could change people's lives, ease suffering and help find a cure for this epidemic. It's a small gesture that could make an enormous impact on the world.

I especially feel for the orphaned Children of Africa, the children that may not even have the fortune of an orphanage, they live alone at very young ages, siblings caring for each other. Most are unable find means to  acquire HIV testing, causing the spread to continue weaving it's deadly web. It is a sad state and one that we could never understand. Imagine an 8 and 10 year old living alone here? Yet through such pain and loss I've read and seen so many inspiring stories of ways that they find to help each other, truly amazing spirits and I have a goal to head to Africa, be a physical servant there but for now, I do it here and ask for everyone to I know to join me.
