Making A Difference

A small boy was running up

and down the beach, feverishly hurling starfish

back into the water before they died. An old man approached him, "Do you honestly think your work will make a difference?" he asked him skeptically. The boy looked at him with sparkling eyes, held up

a starfish and said, "It makes a difference to

this one!" and threw the starfish back into the sea.

It is important

They can do it

and

We will not give up on them!
