   Would you sell your house & car to build a school?
   Lidia Schaefer is one amazing woman…!

   WASHINGTON (CNN) — When Washington manicurist Lidia Schaefer returned to her native village in Ethiopia, she was troubled by what she saw: children walking three hours each way to attend classes held not in a school, but under a tree.
   When she learned in 1998 that one of the girls she’d met — Medhine — had been attacked and killed by a hyena after falling behind other children during the long trek home from school, Schaefer knew she had to act.She began setting aside a third of her salary and all of her tips, and later sold her house and car, to raise enough money to build a school for the village.
   "She’s definitely not your average manicurist," says Denise Abrahams, a longtime client.

   Good for her!
   I could never do that, I dont yet have a house or car but since I’m planning on getting a Ferrari (My #1 love) Then I do not think I could.

   Particulary where I live, There would be no point of me doing that as half the kids don’t even attend school and vandalise it so it would be money wasted for me.

   What Ana said, doubt I could ever do that.

   Nope. It probably wouldn’t be enough to actually build the school. On top of that, you still have to pay all of the school employees for their work and you would eventually go bankrupt and there would be no school. So you’re left homeless, carless, jobless, and without a school.

   A very good thing to do, if one’s heart is to educate children and have that freedom of going to school, then this is good for some people to sell their own property or items to support poor children in this world..it is a person choice..

   It’s seldom that we meet such selflessness. Quite apart from being unlikely to raise the money for even a desk, I’m probably only likely to do something like that if I won the lottery.

   Nice lady.
