It is not unusual for high school graduates to take a year off to "find" themselves before starting college. And that's exactly what Maggie Doyne intended to do. At age 18, she strapped on a backpack and headed for the South Pacific Islands to start her trip around the world. Several months later, she traveled to a remote village in Nepal, where she felt a deep sense of belonging - a sense of home. Distressed by seeing so many working children, many of them orphans, she decided to sponsor the education of one child. Soon, one became five, then ten, and Maggie very quickly realized that she wanted to build a home where these children could live. In five short years, this 23 year old has built a home for 30 children, as well as a primary school for 230 children. Listen to Maggie's story and find out the dream she wants to realize in her lifetime.

    I also fell in love with Nepal. I did volunteer work at a school and with a organization that put street children in school. Over 20 years later one child now a young man picked me up in his car from the airport. I learned a lot from him about his journey and what happened to other children I knew. I would like to help fund your work. I no longer travel that far.

    Thank you, Maggie, for your heartfelt, hard work and dedication to this vital issue, especially the education and empowerment of women as we work for the betterment of humankind;) In addition to well-spoken and engaging storytelling, you are gifted with an intrinsic sense of Mahatma Gandhi's "You must be the change you wish to see in the world" (or, for younger generations, Michael Jackson's Man in the Mirror;). You are inspiring and beautiful through and through, I'm so grateful and happy to know you are in the world!

    To know that Maggie had the the life that she did without the struggles ...and yet she could empathize and do something about the struggle these children are faced with is inspirational beyond my imagination! Especially the extent of the action she took!!!!! I am 63 and having difficulty with my walking - but would love to help out by teaching in her school ....It would be such a privilege!!!!! I do think that she is right about youth in that they just" do " and don't think about whether or not they can!

    The way the world responded to this video inspired me. Its amazing to me that humans can be so supportive of one another and also so toxic to one another. When I see the supportive things I always think that its so obvious that this is how we should be treating one another. Its healthy for everyone. War, violence, and human injustice are basically a disease. We are not meant for that by design, in my opinion. Its not healthy for anyone involved.

    What inspired you about this video? FIGHTING costs WAY MORE than FEEDING !! Get with the program folks! Feed ALL children Educate ALL people to feed themselves and others Our right is to establish ideal human habitat; our DUTY for 7 generations. ALL kept as PUBLIC BENEFIT controlled only by real HUMANS, on GAIA our living planet. All women know we share feelings, because we are 52% of the world population and commit less than 2% of violent crimes. The majority of other crimes women commit concern food and life needs for their children. Women share/generate a CoJOINed Electrical Field. We all feel together! At least half the men also see/share the same electrical field, from birth and are able to feel the same consciousness of life as women. Note the name… Co means together as equals in collective agreement JOIN implies YOU have a CHOICE ….. the capital letters state ALL or NADA in OR out. The Electrical Field itself is the means by which we pray or meditate. Worldwide our faces signal our prayers hopes visions and intentions. Whether or not any human "believes" in any religion or pledges allegiance to any flag or cause, we are able to communicate using this network. Faces show our Emotional Reality.

    So fabulous! She inspires me to do what my heart has wanted for the past 30 years or more - bring more love by making art, music and helping people connect with the earth and find their own joy....! A mother of 30 at 23. She's so giving and just kept going and going, I love that. I want to do that too with my gifts! Does she have a website or project site to help the other 80 million? And how does she get money to pay for the kids ' food etc? I guess as she continues, God will continue to provide through the good people that know about her and her family. Peace and joy to you and your kids! God bless.

    her enthusiasm, her courage, the plans that she made with such lack of resources. The kids that have benefited from her dream and will continue to survive and thrive simply because she believes in herself and the "can do" attitude to reach her dream of providing a better life to the children of the world.

    I think Maggie Doyle is a prime example of what we need to teach our future generations! I guess we all need to awaken to look at what we can do to help. Even if we cannot help in a monetary way we can pray for those that need our help.The power of prayer and meditation can bring us into alignment to begin to change this beautiful world to a place for all to live in peace and security!!!

    Amazing story, but I am a bit confused. She showed a picture of a girl carrying the duffle bag full of stuff at the beginning and she said that girl broke her heart and is when she started to do something. Then at the end she showed the same girl and said it was only a year ago, and now she is in school. So the sequence of timing. And all the travel, she must have had more than $5000 saved up, she had money for the travel etc. I have to watch it again, but a few things did not add up to me. Otherwise I am truly inspired !!

    You are right when you say that being young makes all the difference . I 'm 32 years old , I have a 3 year old daughter and I am very happy that she dosent need to do anything to support anyone and she can just grow up as a... child. This is the right and duty of all children and God should punish how stils thatright from them, how deprive children of being children. But it's true ... and we grow fearful, we found 1001 excuses not to drop everything and go backpacking and make this world a better place to live. I've always had a similar dream... I am an architect and I think we all have a right to a home , a roof above ower heads to protect us from the rain , sun , cold and heat. I am a lover of sustainable architecture and I'm trying to do that, I'm giving my first steps for real! ... All I want to say is, I'll take my daughter and my husband along, but whenever you need just say somthing ... if we can do anything to help improve the lives of these children and can contribute to put smiles on those beautiful faces just get in contact and we will do what we can ! We are bouth architects, and we would love to help.

    It reminds me that we are so structured in our world. We would not be allowed to do what this girl did without permission and red tape and police checks and the cooperation of the CAS. If we just talk to a strange child on the street, we would looked at strangely or be accused of being a pervert. We tend to go to extremes in the name of helping, and sometimes the wrong people are given too much power. Nothing is simple anymore. She found a place without all the rules and red tape and where average people, with very little themselves, wanted to help. I say, Dream on, Maggie. Make that difference. Good for you.
