A crash course in changing the world.
This is Efren Penaflorida, a filipino, an advocate, a teacher and winner of CNN hero of the year 2009. With his mobile classroom (kariton), he reaches out to street children in different locations such as cemeteries and trash dumps to teach them education that will give them a choice not just a life they only knew of because of their parents or the life with gang members to be able to survive but also a choice to get out of poverty and live a better life.. Through facebook I'm able to follow his doings - "KALINGAIN BATANG MAHIRAP FOUNDATION's Giant Kariton will officially begin its construction".- a post that tells us their current project. He is a modern Hero.
