When Hilde Back sponsored a young, rural Kenyan student, she thought nothing of it. She certainly never expected to hear from him, but years later she does. Now a Harvard graduate and a Human Rights Lawyer for the United Nations, Chris Mburu decides to find the stranger that changed his life. Inspired by her generosity, he starts a scholarship program of his own and names it for his former benefactor. Using a strong narrative, the film interweaves seemingly separate lives into a cohesive whole. With clarity and grace, A SMALL ACT, bears witness to the ripple effect a single action can create.

    What inspired me was that in the face of all the violence Christopher just grew more certain of the need to educate children.

    What didn't inspire me about this video. Wonderful woman helping a stranger, great kid remembering the stranger who helped him. He gave her the ultimate gift by getting an education and helping other kids get educated and become leaders. *The Ripple Effect* So Beautiful:)

    I would like to do work like Chris for fellow Kenyans. I want to connect with him and see what contribution a person like can make.

    Mother Teresa famously said, "If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one". Here is the living proof of the validity of her advice. God bless all the Hilde Backs of this world!

    It makes me even happier that our family has supported a child (they've changed over the 25 years we've been doing this) through Save the Children. Even though our children may not ever achieve the prominence of this young man, we can hope it's made a big difference in their lives.
