"After writing a book to pay off debts, {[Jimmy Carter] established the Carter Center in Atlanta to foster programs he believed in. Due to his human rights emphasis, many developing nations looked to him as a great leader, and Carter responded with a democracy project, monitoring elections all over the world. His support of Habitat for Humanity brought publicity and funding to that fledgling organization. His foundation mobilized dollars and expert knowledge to address diseases that plague poor nations. As a result, both guinea worm and river blindness have been nearly eliminated. He also teaches Sun- day school at Maranatha Baptist Church.

He takes his turn cutting the grass outside the church."
