Episode Description
Judge Jim Gray and his guest, Ronald Kohut, Esq. first discuss some of the blessings we have by being able to pursue our interests, like white water rafting, fly fishing and wine making. But we are also blessed to be able to furnish genuine assistance to people here and around the world who have not been so fortunate. The prime example used in this show is the Nepal Youth Foundation, which has established nutrition centers in Nepal that both revitalize young malnourished children and also educate their mothers about nutrition. The differences in the health and fitness of these children after 30 days at the centers are heartrending! A life is a life, whether it is in the USA or in Nepal. And one life there can be saved for only $250! In addition, NYF is establishing vocational centers for young people in Nepal to help teach them job skills. With a national unemployment rate of 40 percent, these classes furnish the difference between a productive life and one of despair.
