Videos: Helping, Healing and Loving Kids

From Denny: Anything that helps kids grow a better life works for me! More from the Making A Difference segments from NBC News.


Private school campuses host a summer camp to carefully selected students from public schools to help close the achievement gap. These kids are excellent and motivated students and it's wonderful to see they won't fall through the cracks. It's a real love fest on this video! :)





Goods for Goods accepts donations from companies of toys and school supplies, clothing, cloth for sewing and sends it to Malawi. You will be surprised at how many children they are helping: thousands!

Video: Healing Injured Through Horses

From Denny: These Making A Difference segments from NBC News are always uplifting! These volunteer programs help returning soldiers heal from PTSD, some even go back to the battlefield successfully. All have given back to their program that has done so much for them. The first video talks about how horse riding is beneficial for back problems, balance and other issues. The second one focuses upon the healing magic of the horses.

Video: Transforming Inner City Blight

From Denny: I really like these kind of stories where people go into inner cities and turn city blight back into thriving communities by building new AND affordable homes. Listen to their story of those who did well for themselves and then came back to give back to the community! From NBC News' Making a Difference segment.

Can Science Rekindle Romantic Flames?

From Denny: This video is a bit amusingly light-hearted but also serious about the science. Forget about those relationship counselors; go pay a visit to your local scientist as they feel they have the best answer. New research about the brain discovers how to rekindle a stale relationship!

Video: The Worst ‘So-Called’ Healthy Foods

From Denny: Boy! This video sure is an eye-opener. While I knew a lot of this, there was a lot I was not aware of that is masquerading as healthy food. We consumers get the truth massaged for us a little too much by the marketing and restaurant industry! Take a look and tell me what you think.
