Lisa,
She is the wife of my close work colleague and is a violin teacher in a non-profit school that develops the musical gifts of inner city children. Her name is Shalisa Kline-Ugaz.
She is incredibly dedicated to the kids.
This past year, one of her students had problems because their family was poor and there were basic problems with their housing. Shalisa, somehow, got Extreme Home Makeover to do a super make over on her students familys home.
Shalisa has gain reputation for such dedication to these kids, that a local television station recently did a news piece on her:

Shalisa, unknown to her, was nominated by her boss (the head of the school) for the Energizer Hall of Fame.
She had been chosen as a semi-finalist. The winner is determined, by Internet vote.
Please vote for Shalisa, I think she is a great person and a great inspiration and deserves recognition. You can vote once per day. Also please pass this on to other people.
Here is the link to vote:
