Opie McGuire is a hero to many. He served alongside Peace Corps Volunteers in Uganda and most recently in Ghana. As a volunteer he saved a young girls life. The details are long, painful and best told by Opie himself, but this video depicts the co-founders of Our Talking Hands, Scott and Promise presenting this little girl with gifts sent by Opie. The video is meant for Opie, but stands as a testament for all to see that one person can have a profound impact on the lives of those around them. Thanks be to Opie for all you have done to inspire the rest of us. Your legend lives on, and so must the story of a man that fought against popular opinion and did what was correct.

Hi Scott,
Thinking of you this Christmas! I love the new website, Our Talking Hands, and the videos you are posting. Bottle caps photo is very nice! Martha Shaw brought me some from Africa that were too damaged to use. Could you put some interesting ones in your pocket when you come home and I will try again? Do you want me to send some from here? People still give them to me and I am not using them very often now. I gave the Kente cloth scarf to my friend for Christmas and she was thrilled. So beautiful!!
Happy New Year!
Love, Marilyn
The best who exercises power with honor work throughout, applying himself.
The very first responsibility of an leader would be to define reality. The final is to thank you. Between, the first choice is a servant.
