I have an uncle who used to work in the heart of corporate America, was the CEO of a major telecommunications firm. When he retired, I wondered how he would keep busy, what would become of that competitive spirit.
As it turns out, my uncle has been transformed--has transformed himself. He now devotes a good portion of his time to a water charity in Guatemala, and we're not talking about a man who just sends a check. My uncle, along with my father (a physician), visits the country yearly, supervising projects similar to those initiated by Wine to Water. When I talked to my uncle and my father about their work in Guatemala, I was a bit jealous. I wanted to change MY life. Which is to say: I wanted to start changing other people's lives in a more profound, significant way. To those whom much is given, much is required. For those who have been given little, little is often required to make a change.
