Preface
  
By Archbishop Desmond Tutu

     You and I are created for goodness. I invite you to dedicate your life to this goodness—to have an impact on the world. It will change your life and wipe the tears from God's eyes.

  

     As I look into the eyes of people who serve, I see into their hearts. They may not be the same eyes. Some are dark, some light, some old, some fresh—but they share a devotion to a cause that is dear to them. They may not share the same cause. They may dedicate themselves to the earth, humanity, or the arts—but I see the same passion in their hearts, and fulfillment in their lives.

   

     In Path With A Heart you will read the stories of scores of people from around the world who have chosen to serve. You will meet people from a variety of backgrounds who dedicate themselves to all types of causes and who started their path at different times in their lives. You will understand the delight they have in the small victories that add up to enormous impact. I will not fool you and say that it is always easy. People who choose this path may wrestle with many challenges, yet their rewards are countless and unquestionable.

    

      What I see when I look into the eyes and hearts of the people who serve is JOY. They don’t measure their work by finally reaching a Friday afternoon. Rather, they say their work defines who they are, and what they stand for. I invite you to read these people’s stories and gain from their many insights and recommendations. Most of all, my invitation to you is to join them—on the Path With A Heart.
