Who wants to hear some good news? Who doesn’t?! The news with a positive twist always lifts me up, just like inspiring movies about giving make me want to give! That’s why I love researching and writing these weekly Good News Reports.

Here in the 7th installment, we give you an example of technology, as well as a bank and student, doing good. There’s also a heart-tugging story on birthdays for homeless children and a book review that may help you change the world in a very specific way.
