My choice for CNN Hero of the Year 2011
Hearing the news about CNN Heroes 2011 made me remember a fellow Filipino, Efren Penaflorida. He won as the 2009 Hero of the Year because of his Dynamic Teen Company's educational program for street children.
I think Derreck Kayongo deserve to be named as the CNN Hero of the Year 2011. All of them (the 10 finalists) deserve support for their unique programs but Kayongo, a native of Uganda, caught my attention because of the efficiency and extent (includes, but not limited to, Haiti, Uganda, Kenya and Swaziland) of his program regarding recycling (hotel) soap bars. Being a member of the health care force, I can also relate to the vital need of each and everyone for basic sanitation.
"Are we really throwing away that much soap at the expense of other people who don't have anything?"
--CNN Hero Derreck Kayongo
Note: I initially chose Elena Duron Miranda (from Argentina) because of her program that helps keep about 200 children out of the trash dump and enrolled in school (PETISOS) but she withdrawn from being included in the Top 10.
