On June 2, 2008, Kate Bohner Productions launched "Profiles in Courage" on KBTVonline, a weekly web show that puts faces on the people making a difference around the world and empowers others to get out and do the same.

So often we look at the despair, suffering, and great need in all around us, and — overwhelmed — we look away feeling helpless, powerless to help change "the way things are." More often, busy in our own lives, we are not even aware of the terrible things happening to the people who share our world. Half of the people in our world live on less than one dollar a day.

This series is dedicated to telling untold stories, raising awareness about often painful issues that are habitually ignored, and recognizing the heroes dedicated to helping those less fortunate. Through these stories we hope to raise awareness of the great need for people to become involved in changing their world. We hope to encourage people to be courageous and to take the most important step of all — the very first one.

Please join us each week at www.KBTVonline.com for these life-changing stories about regular people ready to stand up and make a difference in their worlds. It may make you realize something in your world that you can change!
