  • Stephen Ritz is a dynamic inspiration for kids in the Bronx who used to believe there was no more hope for them. His enthusiasm is undoubtedly contagious, enabling troubled teenagers to secure a source of living with the use of the knowledge he equipped them with in and out of school. Besides restoring hope, Stephen helped the malnourished community reclaim their health by growing local produce right in his very classrooms. His non-profit organization called Green Bronx Machine harvested produce enough to feed 450 people. Now that’s what you call serving the community in the truest sense of the word.

  • Marlice van Vuuren is definitely not afraid of the wild. Growing up with wildlife impressed a deep love for the animals in her heart. So much is her love for them that she has lived most of her life caring for her lions, cheetahs, vultures, baboons, and hyenas. Not your usual pets? Truth is, they aren’t her pets either. They are her family. She co-founded the N/a’an ku sê Foundation with her doctor husband which gave way to wildlife conservation projects and livelihood initiatives for the San community, the aborigines of Namibia.

  • Ron Finley is not your typical gardener. His garden transformed the lives of the people in his barren community called South Los Angeles. Prior his initiative, for you to get fresh produce, you should brave driving 45 minutes. So to save on gas and beautify his front lawn, he planted food. Of course, he got apprehended for that. But 900 signatures got authorities off his back. Los Angeles Green Grounds was an organization inspired by his defiance to grow his own food. Ron is now quite a famous speaker but he remains to be a humble gardener. To read more about Ron Finley visit www.thextraordinary.org
