My hero is a good friend, Austin Gutwein.When he was 9 years old he came up with the idea of hoops of hope. This idea had an avalanche effect. He presented his idea to the company, world vision, and they worked with him to help make his simple idea of helping others, a lagitament organization. Today he is 17 years old and has been raising millions of dollars for freshh water, schools, hospitals, etc. for kids in Africa who are orphaned by aids.Many families in the povertous parts of africa have HIV aids. once the parents die, the children are left to fend for thmselves. Most of the older children are left to take care of thier sibling on thier own. Austin Gutwein is my hero because he recognized these peoples unfortunate situations and decided to make a differance in the world, to help.
