(NOTE: Posting may or may not show the right image of young Malawi woman helped by K.I.N.D. Click the long MSNBC/The Last Word link anyway to go see the video at MSNBC. Thanks.) The kids of K.I.N.D. are growing up and flourishing (thanks to the likes of you). Many aren't kids anymore. Those helped even just 3 or more years ago by K.I.N.D. are now young women and men. A growing legacy of kindness, pun unintended but relevant. :)
