Seven-year old Tarak McLain was born in Thailand and lives with his family in Austin , Texas . He collects and hands out food to the homeless, raises money for orphans and impoverished schools, reads about the world`s religions and listens to public radio.
 
 
A seven year old holds some strong beliefs and with the Grace of God, works to make those beliefs a reality for those around him.
