I do not know Cindy Ollerton but she is proof positive to me of what is possible with clear thinking, good networking and a talent for simple, strightforward action. As a result of the desire to do something positive and healing in the wake of the September 11 World Trade Center disaster she wound up spearheading the building of a school for 250 children in an Afghan village. The final cost of the school is less than a median priced home in most U.S. cities.
She will follow this with a medical center that will serve 28 villages in the area. It will have nine treatment rooms electrical wiring, x-ray equipment and doctors paid by a gift from the Afghan government. We often forget how lucky we are. This clinic will be a ray of hope in a country that has ONE hospital for EVERY THREE MILLION people.
She has started a nonprofit foundation, the World Transformation Center. She now donates the fees earned from her corporate training fees to this and similar projects. You can read her story in the November/December issue of Lives of Real Estate also available online at http://www.loremagazine.com/
