I watched 60 Minutes last night, this famous Sunday documentary show on CBS, which, by the way is a show that I loved watching since I got here in the US, and oh... I am until now in awe and admiration about this man I have to feature in this very post.

So what is Mr. Carr gambling for? His very own $40 million. "Wow!!!" may be your initial reaction like mine, but when you get to know the real score, man, you'll be amazed by the so big a heart this guy has! 

This Boston entrepreneur is out in the country of Mozambique to help build a new life for all the people in the villages there and to basically help boost their economy which will eventually become a huge part in this African nation. The Gorongosa Park-- its ecotourism, that's what he's gonna build and that's where his unordinary $40 million bucks will be spent. It sure was a huge gamble I must say, but with all of his efforts he's been extending, I think success is getting there. It was so touching to see hundreds of residents there who have gotten jobs and another hundreds who were able to go to school and become literate, while still, another hundreds got access to medical care and hospitalizations all because of what Greg Carr has done.

The country of Mozambique, after its 16-year-struggle of civil war, in 1992 became the poorest country in the whole world will millions of people died from poverty and HIV-AIDS pandemic as well as malaria. But Mozambique is so rich in natural resources before the war that Gorongosa Park was so well-known for such vast ancestors of rare and exting animals that only in Mozambique can be found, but all those were gone when the battle was going on. And here comes Mr. Greg Carr, a man so worthy of admiration for his humility, BIGGEST heart, and such a never idle helping hand. With that, he's got my hats off and I will continue to wish him greater success in the future and God's guidance in all of his endeavors.

Mr. Carr is no ordinary man. He is such a hero for taking such an unprecedented plight that takes courage, determination, and unselfishness to share his money and give back to millions of Mozambique people who have lost everything. It is amazing to know this very simple man living a simple dreams and truly giving what he has to many others. May there are many Greg Carrs in today's politicians but  I doubt there will ever rise as one. Mr. Carr is one of the very few who literally heal the world, not just in words but in really living it.

It clearly states this young boy is originally from Philippines. I hope he'll make it! If not, he still deserves my pride.

I'm not sure if Medina is a Filipino, too. I'm just basing from his name and his looks. He he. Nevertheless, I wish him and all other 40 semifinalists the best of luck and the most peace and presence of mind during the competition which will start at 10am today via ESPN and the finals will be aired tonight on ABC primetime. I sure won't miss it!

I have been a daily browser of inquirer.net but among all those clicks that I've made, never was I brought to the Filipinas page when in fact, this publication is sort of like an affiliate or subdomain to Inquirer. So after taking time to scan and read the entire magazine that Ma brought, I found it to be a good one, simply worth my time. I've finished reading the whole 58-pages in just less than an hour and wondered where can I get the next issue of it. Well, thanks to my online life, when I googled it, I successfuly found the homepage and there, all of the writeups can be accessed so I thought how awesome it is. Being away from my home sweet home for years now always give me the uncanny desire and longing to get in touch still with the latest happenings back home. With this magazine, it may not have the writeups written from my home country itself, but at least, the writers are all Filipinos who have the same views like me.
