Many of you may know the story of Amy Biehl (see http://www.amybiehl.co.za/) and my story today is not to repeat Amy's story. Their official website does that perfectly.
Last weekend Kevin Chaplin, one of the world's most inspiring people,(CEO of The Amy Biehl Foundation) hosted the Amy Biehl Youth Awards. I left the event so engaged, motivated & determined to do more to support this remarkable cause.
Linda Biehl, made a decision that very few of us probably could have made, after Amy's tragic murder in South Africa, 17 years ago. She didn't seek revenge as most of us would have done (I cannot even imagine how I would react after such a huge personal loss), and quite simply generated her efforts back into South Africa to found the Amy Biehl Foundation.
Seeing how the Amy Biehl children from the Cape Flats townships performed with such energy, passion & zest for life touched everyone. Linda's determination & spirit of forgiveness has given life to these beautiful young people. Kevin & his team, work tirelessly to raise funds, enabling the programmes to touch the lives of 1500 children per week.
Back to the point of my story. We all deserve inspiration in our lives, and probably give it to others without even realising it.
Linda & Kevin shell out bucket loads of it - but not for personal glory; quite simply to better the lives of others. wow!
hello! how are you?
