Fulbright Scholar turned beer vendor takes personal approach to foreign aid By Ted Gregory Chicago Tribune reporter June 29, 2008
His fellow beer vendors sometimes tease Adam Carter for wearing knee and back braces and an ergonomically designed strap to schlep the Old Style and Budweiser he hawks at Wrigley and U.S. Cellular Fields.
They call him the most accessorized beer vendor, and they notice he is less likely to join them for late-night carousing than he used to be.
But those who know Carter well know his mettle. A Fulbright Scholar with degrees in cultural anthropology and international development, Carter, 33, works as a vendor half the year.

By Tim Sturrock Thursday, November 29, 2007 The Cambodia Daily  | | Photo by Tim Sturrock/The Cambodia Daily Marc Gold hands out mosquito nets to villagers in Kampot Province | Kampot province - Aside from the smiles of the people in Kampot district's Dong village as they received mosquito nets last week, Marc Gold said there was something else that motivated him to raise money for the needy.
"If you imagine any of those faces sick and dying of malaria and imagine preventing it.... That's a fantastic feeling," said Gold, a 58-year-old psychology and public health instructor in California.
And so last week Gold traveled to Dong, a village surrounded by rice fields in Stung Keo commune, along with members of the National Malaria Center to distribute 330 mosquito nets.
