Since its summer time, our family is heading east this week to Boston. I asked a friend from Boston if there is any cause dear to her heart that I should see, her response, One Hen.Org

Truly a great story about a few women taking their children’s book, One Hen, and turning the book’s message of microfinance into a real-life non-profit.  The book is a story of a West African boy who receives a loan to buy a hen and becomes an entrepreneur in the process. It is the story of one person creating change for himself, then his family and ultimately for his community.

The beauty of this real-life story is how one book, one message and one author can create change for thousands of children.
