Coincidence?

Artist Michael Daube was rummaging through a dumpster near his Jersey City loft, looking for sculpture materials, when he came across a David Hockney drawing worth $30,000! The son of a steel worker and a housewife, neither a high school graduate, Michael took off for India. While working at Mother Teresa's mission in Calcutta, he asked her how he might practice compassion. She suggested opening a school in the country's poorest, most heavily tribal state, rural Orissa. What started then is now Citta: a nonprofit serving marginalized communities with schools, hospitals, orphanages and centers in Mexico, Nepal, and India.
