Killed in 2001 as he was walking home from his after-school club, Damilola's death moved Richard, and his wife Gloria, to work on bringing hope and and positivity to urban communities that were previously written off as hopeless.
• Emily Finch, whose creative compassion led her to purchasing an actual bu (with her own savings) and driving it around to show God's love to people by going to them.
