Boken.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

P\u00e5 v\u00e4gen mellan Alagoinhas och Itaborai, d\u00e4r jag \u00e4r nu, b\u00f6rjade jag l\u00e4sa en bok som heter Kisses from Katie<\/a><\/em>. Den handlar om en amerikansk 19-\u00e5ring som flyttar till Uganda f\u00f6r att arbeta p\u00e5 ett barnhem och som snart \u00e4r adoptivmamma \u00e5t 14 flickor och ordnar mat varje dag \u00e5t flera hundra. Hon har varit d\u00e4r i ungef\u00e4r fem \u00e5r nu.<\/p>\n

Boken bygger p\u00e5 hennes blogg, som man kan l\u00e4sa h\u00e4r<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mycket i boken \u00e4r helt underbart, och ungef\u00e4r lika mycket tycker jag \u00e4r ganska st\u00f6rande — men vilka nitton\u00e5ringar uttrycker sig helt nyanserat om allting, och vilka m\u00e4nniskor \u00f6verhuvudtaget \u00e4r beredda att g\u00f6ra det som Katie g\u00f6r?<\/p>\n

Det som jag vill dela med mig av \u00e4r en liten bit av bokens f\u00f6rord. Jag tror att \u00c5sa och Anita och Carol och Maja och Linda och Klockarbarn och m\u00e5nga av er andra som har varit med och arbetat f\u00f6r olika insamlingar och forts\u00e4tter med det kan k\u00e4nna igen er i det h\u00e4r. S\u00e5 vars\u00e5goda! Det \u00e4r Beth Clark, Katies medf\u00f6rfattare, som skriver:<\/p>\n

People who really want to make a difference in the world usually do it, in one way or another. And I\u2019ve noticed something about people who make a difference in the world: They hold the unshakable conviction that individuals are extremely important, that\u00a0every life matters. They get excited over one smile. They are willing to feed one stomach, educate one mind, and treat one wound. They aren\u2019t determined to revolutionize the world all at once; they\u2019re satisfied with small changes. Over time, though, the small changes add up. Sometimes they even transform cities and nations, and yes, the world.<\/em><\/p>\n

People who want to make a difference get frustrated along the way. But if they have a particularly stressful day, they don\u2019t quit. They keep going. Given their accomplishments, most of them are shockingly normal and the way they spend each day can be quite mundane. They don\u2019t teach grand lessons that suddenly enlighten entire communities; they teach small lessons that can bring incremental improvement to one man or woman, boy or girl. They don\u2019t do anything to\u00a0call attention to themselves, they simply\u00a0pay attention to the everyday needs of others, even if it\u2019s only one person. They bring change in ways most people will never read about or applaud. And because of the way these world-changers are wired, they wouldn\u2019t think of living their lives any other way.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ja, det kanske l\u00e5ter lite bombastiskt, men vad s\u00e4ger ni? Om att f\u00f6r\u00e4ndra v\u00e4rlden med en m\u00f6ssa i taget? Eller en skjorta? Visst \u00e4r det just s\u00e5?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
