Jay Stokes is one of those people. Jay believes everyone should get to experience the great outdoors, regardless of their personal circumstances. He's made it his mission through his organization, Break-Away Outdoors, to help those who don't have that opportunity get the chance to learn to hunt, fish and enjoy the experiences that nature has to offer. Whether they are a kid whose parent is away in the military, or they can't afford the cost of gear and outfitting or if they have special needs, Jay's door is wide open. Trace joins Jay and his group as they go fishing, skeet shooting and target practice. Sandi Lewis, of the local chapter of Christian Women's Job Corps shows Trace first-hand how she gives unemployed and underemployed women the skills they need to find work. Through such activities as a job assessment test, computer classes and mock interviewing, as well as the guidance of mentors, Sandi empowers her "mentees" to explore job and education possibilities. Andy Williams was a worker on the Deepwater Horizon oil rig prior to its explosion. Not having been there that night, Andy felt the need to reach out to the guys who survived and to the family members of the victims to give them emotional support. Andy made himself available to them at all hours of the day and night and even became a liaison between them and the office, because they felt such trust and confidence in him. Andy introduces Trace to some of the people affected by the tragedy and they talk about their connection with each other and what it means to them. Trace also takes a brief tour around the Neshoba County Fair and finds out why it's so important to the community. Written by RIVR Media See less
