Celebrating the Human Spirit Radio Spot

Spotted any Giraffes lately? No, not the ones found in zoos and on safaris. I'm talk about men, women and children from many races, religions and backgrounds-all sticking their necks out for the common good. Visit the web site of http://www.giraffe.org and you'll read what I mean.

Giraffes are truck drivers, students, retirees, artists, waitresses, doctors, homemakers, business people and teachers. Since 1982 the Giraffe Project has found over 900 of them, then told their stories-inspiring others to take on the challenges they see. Giraffes are working on many different issues, from poverty to gang violence to environmental pollution. One element that's common to all of them is that they lead meaningful lives. . They know why they get up in the morning, why they do things that may be scary and difficult but must be done if their cause is to be served.

The Giraffe Project President John Graham is a living example of a Giraffe hero. A near death in a lifeboat led him to direct his life to finding new ways of making positive changes in the world. Before coming to the Project, John stuck his neck out in many ways: as a trouble-shooting diplomat in revolutionary Libya, in Vietnam, at the UN, in NATO's Nuclear Planning Group, on Capitol Hill, and as a world-class mountaineer.

Listen for examples of more Giraffes in later commentaries. It's the Human Spirit in action for the betterment of us all.
