Millions of CNN Fans Vote For Teen Education Hero

We give thanks for millions of CNN fans who voted to support Efren Penaflorida as Hero of The Year. This remarkable Filapeno young man has formed www.dynamicteencompany.org with several other teens to create learning carts that they physically push to the many homeless children who live in garbage dumps in the Philippines.
They have one cart for literacy, one cart for games, one cart for computer. When these remarkable teens who managed to get some educational help from a mentor, roll their carts into the dump area, hundreds of little children pour out excitedly.
Efren Penaflorida's comment about education was aimed at "all the children of the world" :
"Embrace learning. Love it, for it will embrace you and love you back, and shall enable you to change your world."

The teens teach what they have learned. Theirs is a power we all have, to share what we know with others. Young Efren winner of the grand prize $100,000 as CNN Hero of the Year 2009, said, "There are many heroes throughout the world of different colors, shapes and sizes. Each person has a hero within. All they have to do is search their hearts and change their world. You are the change that you dream, as I am the change that I dream"
I would add the Efren has learned the secret of "Unlock Your Personal Power".

I celebrate and give thanks for all the CNN heroes and all the CNN fans who recognized the exceptionally clear and bright shining light of Hero Efren Penaflorida. He is a good role model for us all.
