The death toll from Saturday\u2019s earthquake keeps rising.

\n

We hear huge numbers of those with AIDS or those without clean water or children without parents.

\n

The giant numbers begin to numb us. And make us feel small and ineffective.

\n

Then along comes Tara Clapper with a message of focusing on the one.

\n

After a broken engagement, Tara pleaded with God from her closet,

\n

\u201cIf you will make yourself real today, God. I will follow you. I don\u2019t know why it hurts so bad. But if you can turn it off, I\u2019m coming your way. And He did.\u201d

\n

With a new faith and a desire to go where He led, Tara found herself on a trip to South Africa. Which led her on\xa0a trip to Rwanda.\xa0Which birthed a dream she didn\u2019t know she had.\xa0

\n

That dream begin with a relationship with one little boy named, Innocent.

\n

One.

\n

Fast forward 4 years and Tara now feeds 1200 students and teachers daily through her non-for-profit business,\xa0No. 41.\xa0She has employed and launched several young women who have matured out of the Noel Orphanage.

She is changing a community and it all started with one.
