« How Common Human Spirit Prevails Across Varied Cultures - Courtney Spence »

In Chapter 11 of 15, non-profit executive and Students of the World (www.studentsoftheworld.org) founder Courtney Spence travels to developing countries and learns from the people she meets. Life and death issues, including famine, poverty, lack of clean water access and HIV / AIDS do not keep the people from being hopeful, cheerful, loving, and optimistic. Spence sees not only common themes across cultures but also a triumphant spirit in developing cultures not always present at home in the United States.
