Feast your ears on listener Ferhat Bezazel’s “My Ordinary Hero” essay. All it takes is a little click on that “Listen” arrow above! Hello everyone! This week on The Sound Kitchen, you’ll hear a “My Ordinary Hero” essay by listener Ferhat Bezazel from Algeria.  I hope you’ll be inspired to write an essay for us, too! If your essay goes on the air, you’ll find a package in the mail from the Sound Kitchen. Write in about your “ordinary” heroes – the people in your community who are doing extraordinarily good work, quietly working to make the world a better place, in whatever way they can. As listener Pramod Maheshwari said: “Just as small drops of water can fill a pitcher, small drops of kindness can change the world.” I am still looking for your “This I Believe” essays, too. Tell us about the principles that guide your life … what you have found to be true from your very own personal experience. Or write in with your most memorable moment, and/or your proudest achievement. If your essay is chosen to go on-the-air – read by you – you’ll win a special prize! Send in your musical requests, your secret “guilty” pleasure (mine’s chocolate!), your tricks for remembering things, your favourite quotations and proverbs, descriptions of the local festivals you participate in, your weirdest dream, the book you are reading and what you think about it, or just your general all-around thoughts to: thesoundkitchen@rfi.fr Or by postal mail, to: Susan Owensby RFI – The Sound Kitchen 80, rue Camille Desmoulins 92130 Issy-les-Moulineaux France I look forward to hearing from you soon! “Here's Ferhat Bezazel's essay:  “My ‘Ordinary’ Hero" is one of my primary school teachers from long ago: Mr Ahmed Filali, who is an artist.
