CNN Hero of the Year 2009

I couldn't be more proud of our CNN Hero of the Year. I've heard about him awhile back and followed his passion and effort to bring education to poor kids using his "pushcart classroom" as an alternative to joining street gangs.

I am really happy for him to have won this prestigious award.


"...the hero in you is waiting to be unleashed. Serve, serve well, serve others above yourself and be happy to serve...

...you are the change that you dream as I am the change that I dream and collectively we are the change that this world needs to be."

-Efren PeƱaflorida

Great people always have time for everything. In our own little ways we can help too, batch mates search deep down your heart and help...

i really admire his passion moreso his determination. With not much resources to start with, that didn't stop him from doing something good.
