- Business
This woman grew up in a household of strong values - values that centered on public service, integrity and education. And she found being a lawyer of public policy allowed her to practice all three. But by age 42, she had lost both parents and a brother within 18 months and what she loved doing now all of a sudden had no meaning. She left her high paying law career without a plan and began to travel the world. And in traveling to foreign places she saw things that touched her heart – extreme poverty, children begging and 10 year old boys laboring in the mountains. None of these children were in school…a place she knew they needed to be. And she realized that it was she that needed to make this happen. The “School The World'' organization was born. And through providing education to the extreme poor, to local governments and to communities, this woman’s path to greatness continues to unfold. It is my pleasure to introduce to you Kate Curran.
