After visiting family in Inner Mongolia and observing a lack of resources, Melissa Khasbagan returned to Austin and gathered books to send to her cousins. “I collected 10,” recalls the Stanford University freshman, “then 100, and after that, I thought, ‘Why not a thousand?’”

It was the beginning of 1000 Books; today, in addition to books, her nonprofit provides English language curriculum to 400 teachers in nine countries, benefiting 35,000 students.

“Teens don’t always think they can change the world,” she says. “But I encourage them to take that leap of faith.”

I hope these amazing stories get your heart beating a little faster. There is a lot each of us can do, even teenagers.

We all need a little fuel to get our fires burning. These stories might be just the kindling you need.

Until next time.
