Here's a story that's sure to give you hope for the future of our world, even if it makes you sad at the same time.
Rachel Beckwith was a 9-year-old girl who was so moved by the plight of children without water in Africa that she asked her friends to make a $9 donation to charity:water instead of giving her a birthday present. She had raised $220 of her $300 goal when she was seriously injured in a car accident and died a few days later. Now, the birthday page she set up for donations is closing in on $1 million raised.
