The Power of One

I saw this story about the Fresno, Calif., zoo on the Ellen DeGeneres show today:

A 9-year-old girl, Angel Arellano, became so concerned about the problems facing the zoo that she wrote a letter to The Bee, enclosed a $1 donation and urged others to donate.

The grass-roots campaign has led people in just over a month to donate $93,000 toward the zoo, including a $1,000 check that was presented by a local union Tuesday.
