STOP! If you are power surfing Web sites now, filling your bowl even as it spills over, please continue right on surfing. If you are interested in Sabriye, and you will be if you are a human being, you'll need about twenty minutes. Sabriye, one of the most amazing women I have ever encountered, deserves your undivided attention and no less. I will brief you on Sabriye, link to an article, link to her Web site and show you the area of the world in which she works.
Sabriye (pronounced Sah-bree-yah) is thirty-four years old and was born in Germany. She studied Central Asian Studies including Tibetology at Bonn University. At first Sabriye had a problem with Tibetology, a problem that never confronted one soul in the university's history. Sabriye couldn't read Tibetan. So she set about inventing a method that would allow her to read. Her method worked so well that she thought others could benefit as well...specifically, children in Tibet .
Now, if you would, kindly visit Rosemary Mahoney's article about Sabriye. Then, visit a spell with Sabriye at her Web site. Then, come on back.
Bet you didn't see that coming, did you??
I first saw Sabriye yesterday on the Oprah show. The minute this young woman opened her mouth was the minute in my mind, she separated herself from nearly every other person who I've ever heard speak. (The clip on her site just doesn't do her justice) I have heard folks with a cause and underlying passion speak before. I just have never heard the passion fill each breath so completely! It was an experience that I will never forget!!
In his book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill talks about Frank W. Gunsaulus. Frank was a preacher who publicized a sermon on "What I Would Do if I Had a Million Dollars." Then he gave the sermon. Famous businessman Phillip D. Armour was in the audience. Armour forked over the million bucks for Frank to start up an educational institution where young people would learn to do practical things, and at the same time develop their minds.
If ever there was a person who could benefit from such benevolence and apply that donation to multiply good in the world, even for a cause greater than Frank's, it is Sabriye! Anyone know anyone with some bucks?
