“Never doubt that a small group of committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” Margaret Mead

   

Jewish Healthcare International
STEVE KUTNER

Stephen Kutner has served as volunteer Medical Director for JHI for seven years. In that time, he trained thousands of healthcare providers. “Due to Dr. Kutner, the “Blind Club” of Romania is now the “Formerly Blind Club!” He must be a doctor and a politician to be effective in the world. In only 7 years, Jewish Healthcare International has been able to train thousands of healthcare providers, therefore providing better care for all of the patients. Between international training missions, Steve Kutner has also worked tirelessly to secure pharmaceuticals, durable medical goods and equipment valued over half a million dollars that have gone to the program’s service sites.

“The only ones among us who will be really happy are those how have sought and found how to serve.” Albert Schweitzer


SYLVIA CAMPBEL

Ms. Campbell was nominated by this organization because of her passionate commitment to helping the homeless. She follows what she learned from her grandmother who raised 12 children: “There’s always room for one more!”  She not only coordinates the work of dozens of volunteers who staff the kitchen and mailroom, she also volunteers in the kitchen several hours a week where she is known for her pies, and spends countless hours searching for and picking up donated food and clothing. Some people may call Sylvia a scavenger, but the homeless she serves call her an angel. The Crossroads executive director says, “Sylvia truly embodies ‘service before self.’”

“The ultimate expression of generosity is not in giving of what you have but in giving of who you are.” Johnnetta B. Cox
