If you are interesting in social change, then you need to learn about human rights activist Kimmie Weeks. I had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Weeks speak at U of M in October and his incredible story blew me away. The event was organized by fellow U-M student group Youth Hope Organization (YHO).

A native of Liberia, he grew up amidst the turmoil of the Liberian Civil War. The horrific experience inspired his to dedicate his life to helping others. Since then, he has founded Youth Action International as well as several other great programs. Click to read more about Kimmie Weeks on Wikipedia. The man is a true inspiration!
