can feel at peace. And this makes our work more meaningful and rewarding." In Renascer's headquarters there is a framed quotation from Goethe that says,"Whatever you can do or dream, you can begin it now. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now." Vera Cordeiro certainly lived up to that quotation in her life. Cordeiro displays an amazing determination and love for the children and their families that lived in the slums. She is someone who was able to put her city in order and benefit thousands of children and families around her. Erzsebet Szekeres Erzsebet Szekeres is from Hungary and is a disability rights activist and social entrepreneur. Her son, Tibor, was born with mental and physical disabilities. When Erzsebet had learned the chances of her son living into adulthood she felt led to help other individuals facing similar problems as her son. Erzsebet has contributed to the rights of disabled individuals, mainly adults, in Hungary by eliminating three big issues that they face; "lack of job training, few employment opportunities, and a housing shortage.." While solving these issues she has helped disabled individuals gain more independence, she has also replaced the outdated equipment and resources that her community had provided for these individuals. Erzsebet took a unique approach to this issue. Instead taking after other programs that were provided for disabled individuals in her community, Erzsebet used a "macro-approach," she didn't just focus on one area of the issue, she focused on the issue as a whole. "Her approach addresses all of the fundamental components for a happy and productive life." She provides educational and training opportunities for young adults, then she works to place them in work environments where they are able to apply what they have learned. She also is focused on the issue of housing, she has helped develop special housing designed to provide disabled individuals with the greatest amount of independence possible. Lastly, she is providing complete psychological counseling for the disabled individual and their families.

Erzsebet says that she checks every decision she makes against the statement: Would this be a good solution for my own son? Javed Abidi Javed Abidi was sick of seeing the
