We hear from Mel Young, the founder of the Homeless World Cup; Eli Beer, who founded an organization that provides lifesaving medical assistance before the ambulance arrives after an accident; and Wendy Kopp, who has made it her mission to bring education to as many people in the world as possible. | 9.2.12 | Kostenlos | In iTunes ansehen |
