Do1Thing co-founders Najlah Feanny Hicks and Pim Van Hemmen learned the impact that one person could have on another person's life through their work with the Heart Gallery, a project they started to encourage the adoption of teens in the foster care system. Najlah Feanny has been hired by magazines world-wide for her "day-in-the-life" style of reportage photography. She is a New York City based photojournalist and has covered issues like abortion, women's rights, poverty, hurricanes, floods, business, politics and presidential campaigns. This video shows the impact one person had on the life of Jamillah Williams, a teen who aged out of the foster care system and became a single mother. http://www.heartgallerynj.org/, http://www.do1thing.org/
