What was your biggest achievement at the age of 15? Well, a Canadian teenager may have outshone the experts after discovering a lost Mayan city.
William Gadoury, from Saint-Jean-de-Matha, Quebec, made the discovery by comparing star charts with satellite images.
The new city, discovered in a Mexican jungle, is thought to be the fourth biggest Mayan city, and has been named 'Mouth of Fire' by the teenager.

Comments from our guests and members
Members and guests attending our weekly meetings are very important to us. Based on your comments we are able to produce many more educational, inspiring, and entertaining weekly meetings.
Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
September 6. I loved the Music choice. I could listen to this all night. With COVID, I assume that more and more "artists" are doing their own Looping. Did not expect my Osoyoos Make up picture to be as part of the meeting, but that was nice.

A Story Behind Every Refugee. The story of a refugee as told by a refugee, Abdi Nor Iftin, gives a real insight into the determination of refugees and what they have to go through to get accepted by another country.
-- David Werrett, E-Club of Canada One, District 5370
A Story Behind Every Refugee. Abdi's story reminds that we are so fortunate to live in Canada. As Abdi says, a person does not choose where they are born. As Rotarians, we must continue to do our part to make the world a better place.
-- Todd Colbourne, Rotary Club of Kingston, District 7040
A Story Behind Every Refugee. Abdi shares his story about how every refugee has a story to tell. In his memoir, Call Me American, Abdi Nor Iftin recounts his journey from Somalia, talking about immigration, being a refugee, and his new life in America.

Aimee Mullins – A Work in Progress. Great food for thought. Overcoming the perceptual challenges of living with prosthetic legs seems huge to me. We each must be grateful for the challenges that we have in our lives and know there is a way to manage both our concerns but also the concerns we face coming from others. Very inspiring!

Stephanie Wallace was 13 years old when she gave birth to her first child. By age 19, she had five children and was raising them in Cabrini-Green, a notoriously violent Chicago public housing project, the same place where she had grown up.
“There was a lot of gun activity in Cabrini, and the apartment under ours was vacant,” Wallace recalls. “People would go in there and shoot out of the window.” One day, when two of her sons were four and five years old, she overheard them playing a game where they listened for a gunshot and tried to guess the kind of weapon that fired it. When one of her boys ran up to tell her, ‘You heard that, Mom? That’s a .45!’ she realized she needed to get her kids out of the projects.
But Wallace was determined. She found a subsidized town house in Arlington Heights, a quiet suburb northwest of the city, and started working the night shift at a Kinko’s copy shop. She walked over an hour each way; she didn’t have a car, and there was no bus. It took her almost a year to save $900 for a used car. Once she did, she found a job in health care with better hours and eventually became a certified nursing assistant.
