Who is Dorothy Stang?

I've been part of the NDNU community for the past year and half, and I finally learned about Dorothy Stang in my Local and State Government class. Dorothy Stang was a sister in Brazil and was an advocate for the indigenous peoples land and protecting the Amazon rain forest. She was fighting against injustice committed by greedy lumbers and exploiters. She was murdered in 2005 that led to the President of Brazil to protecting 20,000 of the Amazon's 1.6 million square miles under federal environmental  protection---this part of the land is located to where Stang did some of her work. This woman, I've come to admired because of her boldness to fight injustice and most importantly her faith in Gods plan and that to me resonantes to my understanding that everyone has a calling to serve.

The charisma of NDNU have definitely re-motivated me to continue my work with AmeriCorps and even sparked my interest for the PeaceCorps somewhere that I really care about--Tonga. My father's home and recently it has transitioned to become more of a democratic nation-state.
