WHO: Alexia Lomon, Kristine Frazier, Mallory Hanora, Roselyn Berry (clockwise from top right)

MISSION: To support working-class women in the Boston area struggling with family, financial and emotional issues. In addition to the five lead advisers (Cindy Printemps is not pictured), Reflect & Strengthen comprises a core group of 36 members, ages 14 to 30, who come together to help one another and other women in their communities. In addition to leadership development programs with professionals in various fields, the group holds multisession programming in the city’s high schools, works with girls in the juvenile justice system and has a street theater troupe.

MOTIVATION: “We came together in 2001 in a really organic way,” says Berry, who cofounded the group with seven working- class friends. “We talked a lot about how the city’s institutions weren’t meeting our needs. The issues we were facing were interconnected, so our response had to be holistic.”

A PLACE TO CALL HOME: “We’d love to one day have a house or a building,” Lomon says. “People could stay there if they needed to, and we could have meeting space, maybe even commercial space. That’s the dream.”

WHO: BILL AYRES

MISSION: To feed 50 million hungry Americans. “When I was a student, I marched with Dr. King on Washington,” Ayres says. “We’re trying to create that kind of movement to fight hunger.” His organization, WhyHunger, directs people to soup kitchens and food pantries, helps organizations get funding and works with government agencies to make relief more accessible, while trying to improve the quality of food and the lives of farmers who grow it.

MOTIVATION: “My cofounder and friend Harry Chapin used to say that hunger was an obscenity, and hunger in the richest country was an even greater obscenity,” Ayres says. He was just learning about the issue of worldwide hunger in the 1970s, when he was a Catholic priest and rock ‘n’ roll DJ. He met Chapin on his show, and the two started World Hunger Year (now WhyHunger).

ROCKIN’ OUT: Ayres is still heavily involved in the music world. He works with Yoko Ono and Hard Rock International on “Imagine There’s No Hunger,” an annual fundraiser in which Hard Rock sells wristbands to help WhyHunger.

WHO: DYLAN MAHALINGAM, 15
MISSION: “To empower and engage youth around the world to get more involved in making the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) happen,” says Mahalingam. Those goals, set by the U.N., include universal education, ending poverty and stopping the spread of HIV/AIDS by 2015. Mahalingam has used his role as a U.N. youth representative to reach out to 20,000 volunteers in 40 countries, and his organization, Lil’ MDGs, has helped raise $10 million for hurricane relief and $780,000 for tsunami victims. “Children are naturally empathetic. They want to do something, but they don’t think they can,” he says. “We help them do something.” That can range from taking up a collection to hosting a benefit to sending used clothing to disaster victims.

MOTIVATION: When he was nine years old and traveling in India, Mahalingam saw poverty firsthand—“children working in the street instead of going to school,” he says. He returned to New Hampshire and talked to his cousins, Courtney Fillebrown and Pooja Dharan, about what he’d seen and what they could do. “We talked to my sister, and she told us about the MDGs,” he says. So the three founded the Lil’ MDGs. “We began working to let other kids know about the MDGs, and the U.N. contacted me to become a speaker.”

IN HIS SPARE TIME: “I’m really into music. I play piano and guitar, and I compose some of my own songs,” Mahalingam says. “But what I really, really love is technology. I mean, of course I’ll keep going with philanthropy, but my future is definitely in technology.”

WHO: BILL TELEPAN, 44

MISSION: To replace processed foods with healthy, hearty options in all 1,700 New York City public schools. Telepan, chef and owner of an eponymous eatery on the Upper West Side, became the executive chef of Wellness in the Schools—a nonprofit dedicated to improving conditions in public schools—in 2008, after a visit to his daughter’s school. The organization has installed salad bars in 19 schools and recruited 60 culinary school graduates and chefs to help Telepan teach cafeteria employees and students how to cook well and eat right. “There’ve been a lot of obstacles for us,” he says. “But the end result is fabulous.”

MOTIVATION: Telepan didn’t realize just how bad the school meals were until he took a look inside a cafeteria. “I knew it was kind of gross…I always made my daughter lunches so I could control what she was eating, but I didn’t really understand. There’s sodium, fillers and sugar in everything.” Now kids enrolled in the participating schools are feasting on pesto made from scratch and salads with freshly made dressings instead of chicken fingers and chocolate milk. “The kids give you instant feedback,” Telepan says. “‘Oh man,’ they say, ‘that’s the best chili ever. I can’t wait to tell my mom.’”

YOU GOTTA HAVE FRIENDS: This year Telepan has recruited fellow chefs Zak Pelachio, Jonathon Waxman and others to sponsor individual schools. Since October the cooks have hosted café days (when they show up and cook a new menu for teachers and students), started school vegetable gardens and auctioned off their culinary skills to raise funds for the program. “The goal is to hit fifty schools next year, and all of them in the next few,” explains Telepan. “You gotta go big!” Another friend of Telepan’s is the New York office of SchoolFood.  Telepan adds, “Our program would never have the success it has had without a strong partnership with a very open-minded and progressive school food system like the one in New York City. They have opened up their kitchens and asked us to help implement their goals of adding salad bars and eliminating processed food. New York is a model for the rest of the country, showing how a public/private partnership can work.”

WHO • BETH DOANE, 27

MISSION • “To show the world the Amazon through the eyes of the kids who live there,” Doane says, “and to improve living conditions there.” Her company, Andira Rain Tees, donates school supplies to children who live in endangered rain forests, then prints their drawings on organic cotton tees. Doane ensures that the factories that produce the shirts have fair labor practices, and the company plants a tree for every shirt sold. “I’m not someone who can do things only part right,” she says.

MOTIVATION • Initially, Doane started a clothing import-export business called Andira, but she quickly grew disenchanted with the fashion world. “I was finding lines I really loved overseas, thinking of them as art, but no one else cared,” Doane explains. She wanted to do something that incorporated art and fashion in an ethical way, so she worked out the logistics as she did her research. “It’s really powerful seeing what these kids come up with,” she says. “The drawings are bright and fun at first glance, but then they’re also really strong images.”

CASUAL WEAR: “I travel to the jungle about three times a year, and I like to wear the ‘Tree of Life’ tee when I’m flying,” Doane says. The scoopneck, designed by an 11-year-old girl named Mariela who lives in Peru, shows a tree that appears to be crying. “It’s always a conversation starter.”

WHO • PHILIP LEAKEY, 61, AND KATY LEAKEY, 56

MISSION • To create an alternative business plan for a Kenyan tribe of cattle herders. In 2001, the Maasai were devastated by a drought so severe it made it nearly impossible for them to support their families. That’s when the Leakeys-who had been living with the tribe-stepped in. They taught Maasai women to make and sell jewelry from the remaining nuisance grass and fallen acacia wood, using natural dyes and glass beads at outdoor workstations spread across 150 miles in the Rift Valley. “We tried to design a system that doesn’t interrupt their lifestyles,” says Philip. A woman who works around 30 hours a week can earn enough in a month to feed her family for a year; after working three months, she can also educate her children for a year.

MOTIVATION • Philip is the son of famed paleoanthropologists Louis and Mary Leakey, so he and Katy have deep roots in rural Kenya. “Philip and I witness the positive change that stems from their learning and earning on a daily basis,” says Katy. “People ask what makes the Maasai so happy. It’s something that our ancestors knew: Make family and friends the center of your universe. It’s what they’ve taught one individual American woman who lives among them.”

GET INVOLVED • Leakey Collection jewelry is sold online and in shops in more than 20 countries worldwide. Visit www.leakeycollection.com.

WHO • WILL ALLEN, 61

MISSION • To promote urban gardening, particularly in low-income neighborhoods where people might not otherwise have access to fresh and healthy food. “I want to be part of the revolution that changes how we grow, distribute and eat food so that the process is healthier for people and the planet,” Allen says. He started Growing Power—a greenhouse complex that cultivates organic food and teaches people how to produce their own—in Milwaukee in 1993. He also operates farms in Chicago and rural Merton, Wisconsin, and has teamed with Michelle Obama’s program to fight childhood obesity.

MOTIVATION • “Food doesn’t just sustain our bodies—it can heal them,” Allen says, adding that wealth shouldn’t dictate access to healthy food. By teaching people how to grow organically and close to home, he is also helping to cut down on fuel emissions from transportation, thereby reducing pollution. “Much of our soil is contaminated,” he says. “One of our challenges is not just to grow healthier food, but to grow healthier soil.”

HOOP DREAMS • Prior to his career as an urban farmer, Allen played in the American Basketball Association and professionally in Belgium between 1971 and 1978. When he retired from the sport at age 28, he did a 15-year stint in marketing at The Marcus Corporation and Procter & Gamble before going back to the land. “I was raised on a six-acre farm,” he says. “I went back to my roots to start a farm in Milwaukee to keep my hands in the dirt.”

WHO • TOMMY HILFIGER, 59

MISSION • To aid Millennium Promise in reducing extreme poverty. Hilfiger has committed $2 million over five years to the Ugandan community of Ruhiira. “We’d like to make a difference and really teach the people of the village to help themselves,” he says. “We’re helping them get jobs, support their community. We’re not giving them fish—we’re teaching them how to fish.” He’s also opening the door for his staff to get involved: All 10,000 Tommy Hilfiger employees around the world are encouraged to take free volunteer vacations to Ruhiira.

MOTIVATION • After achieving tremendous success as a designer, Hilfiger felt compelled to give back. “We did a lot of research and found that Millennium Promise was one of the strongest organizations associated with the UN. Of the money that’s given, most of it gets distributed on the ground.”

HAPPY BIRTHDAY • The Tommy Hilfiger brand celebrated its 25th anniversary this year, and Assouline recently published a limited-edition 144-page book titled Tommy Hilfiger, which chronicles the label’s development. “The book is really a scrapbook,” he says. “It’s got lots of photos and little quotes from people I’ve worked with over the years.”

WHO • MARK PLOTKIN, 55

MISSION • To save the Amazon rain forest by teaching native tribes how to map, manage and protect it while spreading ancient wisdom about the healing powers of local plant species. A Harvard- and Yale-trained ethnobotanist, Plotkin cofounded the Amazon Conservation Team (ACT) with Costa Rican conservationist Liliana Madrigal in 1996. Since then, more than 75 million acres of Amazon rain forest have been mapped by almost 30 tribes using GPS technology. The ACT has helped establish a 22,000-acre medicinal plant sanctuary called Orito IngiAnde, as well as the 168,000-acre Alto Fragua Indi Wasi National Park, both in Colombia. Other projects include a Shamans and Apprentices program as well as the first certified indigenous park ranger training course in the northeast Amazon. Native lands comprise about one-fourth of the Amazon basin, and native tribes know best how to preserve biodiversity in the rain forest. Saving the land means sustaining the culture, says Plotkin, whose nonprofit’s “biocultural conservation” efforts won The Skoll Foundation’s Award for Social Entrepreneurship in 2008.

MOTIVATION • “I had the great good fortune, as a college dropout working at Harvard, to take a night course about the botany and chemistry of hallucinogenic plants. One lecture by Dr. Richard Schultes, widely hailed as the father of ethnobotany, and I was hooked on plants, indigenous cultures and the Amazon.”

BREAKING A SWEAT • “People often ask how I can deal with the heat and mosquitoes in some South American countries. I remind them I grew up in New Orleans.”

NAME • PROSPER NDABISHURIYE, 53

MISSION • To build houses in war-torn Burundi and bring youth from the rival Hutu and Tutsi tribes together. Since its inception in 1994, the nonprofit Youth in Reconstruction of a World in Destruction (YRWD, or JRMD in French, one of Burundi’s primary languages) has erected 3,167 homes, Ndabishuriye says, serving some 25,000 people throughout Burundi, where a civil war in the 1990s and 2000s between Hutus and Tutsis led to hundreds of thousands of deaths and left countless civilians homeless. Ndabishuriye sees an opportunity not only to provide shelter but also to heal the rift by having youth from both tribes work together to rebuild their country. The project has expanded to construct schools, latrines and an orphanage for 160 kids, as well as provide mattresses and a microcredit program.

MOTIVATION • “Peace education is not possible among families who do not have a home,” Ndabishuriye says. “That’s why we’re building homes for the survivors of the war and making communities. We’re building unity and peace.”

For more information, visit www.jrmd.org.

NAME • HOWARD SCHIFFER, 60

MISSION • Reduce child mortality worldwide by supplying infants and children under five with vital nutrients, especially vitamin A. Entrepreneur Howard Schiffer was running a natural products business in 1994 when an earthquake hit Southern California. After receiving a call from a relief agency seeking vitamins for displaced families, Schiffer coordinated a truckload. Vitamin Angels was born three weeks later. Since then, “it’s been like a rocket ship,” says Schiffer. Last year, Vitamin Angels reached more than 11 million children in 40 countries. This year, Schiffer aims to help 20 million worldwide.

MOTIVATION • Natural health has always been a priority for Schiffer. Amazed at how quickly Vitamin Angels’ reach expanded, he stepped away from his commercial business in 2005 to devote himself to his new calling. “It costs about twenty-five cents to provide a child with two high doses of immune-boosting vitamin A per year,” he says. “This can increase that child’s survival rate by twenty-three percent. There’s no better investment you can make.”

IN HIS SPARE TIME • He’s been rebuilding his home. “It burned to the ground in a wildfire after I returned from a visit to a refugee camp in Kenya, where people had been living under tarps for over a year due to war. Relatively speaking, my family and I were okay.”

NAME • YOSHIO TOYAMA, 66

MISSION • Donating musical instruments to schools and aid groups in New Orleans through Wonderful World Jazz Foundation, an organization founded by Toyama and his wife, Keiko. At age 14, Toyama started playing trumpet and fell in love with Louis Armstrong’s music, which inspired him to delve deeper into the culture of Armstrong’s hometown. “It was a shock to learn that schools in the birthplace of jazz had very poor musical instruments,” Toyama says. “I was deeply moved to read in Armstrong’s autobiography that he came from the poorest slum. He was sent to a boys home, where he learned to play music. It changed his life.”

MOTIVATION • “We want to remind people of Armstrong’s life and spread his music, love and spirit,” Toyama says. “After World War II, the U.S. helped Japanese people with the kindest of hearts. So this is also a big thanks from Japanese fans to New Orleans for giving the world such a wonderful present called jazz.”

FAVORITE SONGS • “What a Wonderful World” and “When the Saints Go Marchin’ In.”

WHO • VERONIQUE MATTHEWS

MISSION • Matthews delivers “equine therapy,” a well-established if little-known therapeutic speciality, to children, the elderly, chronic pain sufferers and people with Alzheimer’s, among others. She says being around the animals helps her patients overcome anxiety and trauma. While physical contact is often part of the treatment, she notes, “Our clients don’t need to touch the horses. Just looking at them can be enough.” Initially, she employed miniature horses; more recently, trained service dogs and full-size horses have become part of her treatment menagerie. Matthews works with facilities around Texas and has helped launch six similar programs throughout North America.

MOTIVATION • After surgery, Matthews became a chronic pain sufferer herself. When she adopted a miniature horse named Toby, he did so much to lift her spirits and get her up and moving again that she decided to share what she’d learned. “One story that sticks with me is a couple who came out with their four-year-old. He had some level of autism, I think, but I never ask. They wanted him to experience horses. And all of a sudden his parents said, ‘Oh my God, he made a facial expression!’ It’s hard to imagine, but they had never seen him do that before.”

FAVORITE SHOPPING BUDDY • “When I’m training new miniature horses, I take them to a big pet store, and that’s how they learn to be around a lot of people.”

WHO • ANTHONY MARTIN, 45

MISSION • To foster confidence and teamwork by exposing city children to motor sports (using half-size stock cars called Super Mini Cups). “Not all kids can slam dunk a basketball or run a four-point-two-second forty,” Martin says. “But they can race cars and work on a racing team, so they can be part of something.” His Urban Youth Racing School offers afternoon programs and a summer camp that help keep kids in Philadelphia’s and Washington, D.C.’s roughest neighborhoods out of harm’s way. “We’ve had kids who were on the verge of dropping out of high school, and we pulled them back from that,” he says. “Some of them have stuck with it and now work on professional racing teams.”

MOTIVATION • “Growing up in Southwest Philly, in the ’hood, as we say, I had people who helped me out,” Martin explains. “I wanted to give back to the community after I made it out.” Martin, who previously founded the Philadelphia Youth Recreation Association, chose to focus on racing primarily because it was something city kids wouldn’t have access to otherwise. “All kids love cars,” he says.

IF HE WEREN’T DOING THIS… • Martin had a successful career in sports marketing before crossing over into nonprofit work. Among his achievements: patenting the gold-tipped shoelace and breaking the world jumping jacks record, twice. Learn more about him and his organization at www.urbanyouthracingschool.com

WHO
SHAUN DUVALL, 55

MISSION
To deepen cultural understanding and provide hands-on support to dairy farmers and their Mexican employees in Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota. Farmers and workers are in a mutually beneficial relationship, Duvall says, but problems sometimes arise in rural communities that are unaccustomed to large influxes of newcomers. In the late 1990s, Duvall started Puentes (meaning “Bridges”) to teach English to farmworkers and Spanish to their employers, as well as to provide interpreting and support services—everything from arranging doctor visits to helping figure out bills. Later she began taking agricultural professionals on annual 10-day “cultural immersion trips” to villages in Mexico where the farmers stay with workers’ families. Duvall knew something special was happening on their first trip when she watched a strapping dairy farmer take the hand of two-year-old Lydia, the daughter of one of his workers. The toddler was the reason her father was in the United States—and the farmer, as his employer, was helping give Lydia a better life. On the Mexican side, the families were touched that a patron, an employer, would take the time to visit.

MOTIVATION
“Changing hearts and minds,” Duvall says. “Encouraging people to become more understanding and compassionate.” Of course, it’s also pretty flattering to be called “angel de los Mexicanos,” a nickname that makes her blush.

IN HER SPARE TIME
Duvall enjoys running, though she calls it “plodding.” (So far, she’s plodded through two marathons.) She’s also planning to write a book about Puentes.

HOW TO HELP
Duvall urges people to learn Spanish if they don’t already know it and reach out to non-English-speakers in their area. For more information, visit www.puentesbridges.org.

WHO
JON AZRIELANT, 27

MISSION
To circumnavigate the globe creating zero emissions, in an electric car (crossing oceans by boat, naturally). “We have this product that’s more convenient and more cost-effective than a regular vehicle,” he says. “If we can get people driving it, the impact will not only be environmental but geopoliticial. Finding renewable energy sources could go a long way to reducing conflicts.”

MOTIVATION
A recent University of Chicago graduate, Azrielant was having drinks with college friends Jeff Bladt (the project’s expedition leader) and Andrea Fjeld (social media editor). “I had gotten a job at McKinsey & Company, and Andrea was working at an ad agency. We were talking about how we wanted to do something good for the future of the world—not just our own futures—while we could.” Though it started as a last fling before corporate life, Azrielant says, “This has been kind of a life-changing experience. We’ll see where the road takes us.”

MOST ANTICIPATED DESTINATION
“I’m really excited for Iranian cuisine,” Azrielant says.

HOW TO HELP
“Just follow our project,” Azrielant says. “Read our blog, project-evie.org.” Want to do more? Make your next car electric.

NAME • TALIA LEMAN, 14

MISSION • Providing structural support, interest-free microloans and education to kids wishing to raise money for a cause. “When I was ten, after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, I started a project called TLC,” Leman says. “It stands for Trick-or-treat for the Levee Catastrophe. Kids could trick-or-treat for coins as well as candy, and I raised ten million dollars. From there, I founded RandomKid.” Now she’s also working with the University of Iowa, in her home state, on a project called Great Strides. “We’re sending kids free pedometers, and they get pledges for the miles they walk to help kids with club feet, so it’s kind of walking to help others walk. Instead of surgery, which is really expensive, we’re using something called the Ponseti method, which uses a series of braces.”

MOTIVATION • After witnessing the success of TLC, Leman says, “I realized I really was a random kid. I’m no one special, and I might not be able to do everything on my own, but by reaching out to other people, I can make a difference.”

WHEN SHE GROWS UP • “I don’t know yet if philanthropy is what I want to do,” Leman says. “I’m just taking it one project at a time. If I had to say right now, I’m really interested in medicine, so maybe working with health care in underdeveloped countries.”

LEND A HAND • Ninety-nine percent of funds donated to RandomKid go to projects such as training service dogs, providing clean water to impoverished villages and building schools in underdeveloped countries.

NAME • BILL AND LAUREN SMITH

MISSION • To pull kids out of Cambodia’s garbage dumps and put them in school. Bill, the official photographer for the Chicago Bulls, Bears and Blackhawks, started making annual visits to Southeast Asia to pursue his first love, travel photography. In 2002, a driver took him and Lauren to a garbage dump teeming with children who scavenged to make a living. “It was what hell would be like,” Lauren says. The couple decided to sponsor 10-year-old Srey Na, her friend Srey Nak and her sister, Srey Salim, with English lessons, as a first step to finding careers and building better lives. Friends back in Chicago took up the cause. “It was only five- or six-hundred dollars a year. Soon friends would say ‘Next time you’re there, find a kid for us to support,’” Bill says. His friend, Bulls ticket manager Joe O’Neil, held a fundraiser, and Chicago Tribune writer K.C. Johnson wrote a story that ran on Christmas Eve, 2006. Donations started pouring in, and A New Day Cambodia eventually had enough money to open shelters for the kids in Phnom Penh in 2007 and 2008. They’ve also started sending older children to vocational training centers.

MOTIVATION • “Even before Bill and I were married,” Lauren recalls, “he always said, ‘I just want to help one person. I want to change one person’s life.’”

IN THEIR OFF TIME? The Smiths can be found rooting for Chicago sports teams. “I wasn’t a big sports fan before I married Bill,” Lauren admits, “but it’s really a lot of fun. I especially like going to Bulls games.”

NAME • KAREN KIEFER, 49

MISSION • Delivering happiness to strangers via homemade bread. When Karen Kiefer taught her mother’s Irish soda bread recipe to her daughters, they baked way more than they could eat, so they handed out the surplus loaves to neighbors. It was so much fun, they did it again this time packaging loaves with friendly messages and delivering them to homeless shelters and churches in their hometown of Wayland, Massachusetts. Soon, other families broke out their bread pans, and Spread the Bread was born. The Kiefers’ driveway now serves as a collection and distribution point for vast varieties of baked goods, and Kiefer coordinates efforts elsewhere in the world via email. Recipients include the homeless, first responders, the elderly, soldiers abroad and anyone else in need of a little gratitude or hope.

MOTIVATION • “Everybody is connected to bread somehow—through religion or a memory or a family tradition. I thought it would be cool if we could get people to start sharing that bread with others.”

FAVORITE RECIPE • “One of my favorites is cantaloupe bread. It tastes just like a wildly delicious and moist carrot cake.”

GET INVOLVED • The third annual Million Bread Bake, an effort to surpass one million loaves, started on September 11 and runs until New Year’s Day. Last year, the effort tallied a whopping 733,203 loaves. Kiefer’s driveway must be huge.

Name • Lauren Bush, 25

Mission • Ending world hunger.

In 2007, the model and presidential niece launched the FEED 1 Bag—a simple cotton and burlap sack—to raise money for the United Nations World Food Programme. (Each bag sold feeds one student for an entire school year.) This month, she’s launching three new products. The FEED 2 Kenya Bag—a more stylish model of the original, available at Bergdorf Goodman and feedprojects.org—feeds two children in Kenya for a school year. The FEED Health/MV Backpack (sold at Kenneth Cole) is made of recycled plastic nylon. For every backpack sold, another loaded with supplies goes to a Millennium Village community health worker in Uganda. Next up: the FEED/READ 3 Bag, at Barnes and Noble. “It’s in time for back-to-school,” Bush says. “We’re supporting the U.N. World Food Programme and Room to Read. For each bag you buy, three children get lunch and a local language textbook.”

Motivation • Serving as a U.N. World Food Programme ambassador while a student at Princeton, Bush went on a trip to Guatemala. “I live in New York, so it was only a few hours away, but there was so much malnutrition,” she says. “What I was really moved by was seeing these kids helped by the World Food Programme.” And why the bag? “It’s a real, measurable, tangible contribution,” she says, adding, “Not everyone can cut a huge check, but most of us can buy a bag here and there.”

And in her spare time? • She works on her clothing line, Lauren Pierce, and hangs out with B.F.F. Elizabeth Berkley 
of Saved by the Bell fame.
