Something happened in the Salwen family. Might even call it the Holy Spirit.
15 year old Hannah made the connection that how much her family consumes versus how much it gives actually makes a difference in other people's lives.
So now the family is selling their $MM 6500SF house and down-sizing. They plan to give half of the proceeds of the sale (appx. $800K) to the Hunger Project. In particular, they will help 30 villages in Ghana.
Check it out here.
Best part of the story are two things:
1) Hannah's dad is on the board of the local Habitat for Humanity so it is great to see his own daughter teaching him to live a little more generously and a little less conspicuously
and
2) Her quote to her dad that triggered the change. She saw a Mercedes parked next to a homeless man sitting on the curb, and said "If that guy didn't have such a nice car, then that guy could have a nice meal."

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-11 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
