After watching an episode of Oprah that featured Women for Women International I knew becoming a mentor for a woman was in my immediate future. WfW helps women survivors of war in a number of countries around the world. With only a few dollars so much can be done to help a woman feed herself, her family and maybe, just maybe, change her country.

Demorris Davis was about to leave behind his dream of finishing college. A mix-up led him to owe Western Carolina University money he simply didn’t have. So he packed up to leave. Little did he know that his secret trouble wasn’t so secret anymore. A true friend, Jason Speier, used his Facebook page and social networking to help Demorris, and prove once again that despite all the bad news there are plenty of wonderful friends in the world ready to help. Even when you don’t ask!
