This week we are focusing on stories of people who have taken difficult circumstances they were born into and persevered to achieve something great. That doesn’t mean they became rich and famous necessarily but it means they overcame their situations to make more of themselves and their lives than you might think they could given those circumstances. 

Today we talk about Alcindo Soares, who lives on a tiny island off the west coast of Africa. When he saw his local beach becoming polluted with trash and debris, he decided to not only clean it up but to take that trash and build something with it that could serve the whole community.  

Listen to today’s short to hear what Mr. Soares did with all that trash and how it helps others.
