Twenty years ago, he hopped a border fence from Mexico into the United States and became a migrant farmworker. From there, to community college to a UC Berkeley scholarship, to Harvard Medical School, 38-year-old Dr. Q, as he is known, is now a neurosurgeon and professor at Johns Hopkins University. His stated goal is to help cure brain cancer. Watch his amazing journey. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1549 Fri, 03 Jul 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Set to the backdrop of a 1988 chart-topping song by Michael Jackson (1958-2009), 'Man in the Mirror' speaks to the value of internal change. It features footage of some of the most iconic service leaders the world has known. Each one of us can impact this world if we take a look at the 'man in the mirror' and start to become more other-oriented and less self-oriented. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=264 Fri, 26 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Are you a Difference Maker?

A school bus driver by day and an angel by night. Every night for the past 5 years, he has gone home and cooked food for hundreds of people on his old stove. He then goes to a street corner in Queens, New York and feeds those that are hungry. He does this with his own money because "it's the right thing to do". He is a man that wants to help, and is the epitome of an everyday hero. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1606 Fri, 12 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Last year 50,000 Estonians got together and did in one day what it would have taken the government 3 years and 22 million euros to do - clean up all the garbage in the country! More than 600 volunteers came together to organize Campaign "Lets Do It!", a grassroots initiative to clean up the country from 10,000 tons of illegal waste in just one day. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1590 Fri, 05 Jun 2009 00:00:00 -0700 Lost in the hustle and bustle of our comfortable lives, we can often lose touch with the critical social issues that our society faces. "Ain't No Reason" is a creative music video that brings expression to that voice inside each of us. While making the video, Singer Brett Dennen himself wondered: "What would happen if you were forced to deal with something that you may think has nothing to do with you? If suddenly the world's problems came into your own home? You would have to realize that you are connected to everything and everyone on Earth." http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1483 Fri, 29 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700 We've heard the Enrons of the world file for bankruptcy. Massachussets based Malden Mills did the same -- but for entirely different reasons. In 1995, when the Malden Mills caught fire, the CEO and owner of the family run business decided to continue to pay his thousands of idled workers for a full six months! It was a decision that ended up bankrupting the three generation old company, but Aaron Feuerstein, the CEO and owner, says: "Maybe on paper our company is worthless to Wall Street, but I can tell you it's worth more." Watch this inspiring video as Aaron shares his rationale for making the ethical choice. http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1594 Fri, 22 May 2009 00:00:00 -0700
