friends to volunteer their time teaching kid from the slums. That small initiative with 15 children in a single borrowed classroom.

The Spiritual CapitalistsThe ideal of services may be old fashioned.

But there are individuals who still believe to live by it.Because they believe purity of purpose and selflessness

of spirit can transcend every limitation.
