This page, Humans of New York is an outstanding website that looks into the hearts of human beings in New York.  It went to Facebook and now has over 9 millions people watching it and thinking and learning about their fellow man.  It's creator, Brandon, walks the city to find people to photograph and posts their comments on their life.  The response has been enormous. Brandon is now on a 50 day trip with the United Nations to see what is going on in the world and to make people more aware of what the rest of the world is going through.  I highly recommend this site to everyone, if you are human.  It is inspiring, funny, sad, and thought provoking.  Not visiting this site or his page on Facebook is a mistake.  It should be required reading.  Enjoy.

"We don't like pictures like this. It is not good to deduce an entire country to the image of a person reaching out for food. It is not good for people to see us like this, and it is not good for us to see ourselves like this. This gives us no dignity. We don't want to be shown as a country of people waiting for someone to bring us food. Congo has an incredible amount of farmland. An incredible amount of resources. Yes, we have a lot of problems. But food is not what we are reaching for. We need investment. We need the means to develop ourselves."
(Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo)
