Atlanta: It’s a sad day as we learn that Jimmy Carter, the 39th president of the United States, has passed away at the age of 100. He had been in hospice care for over a year, which is a tough way to go.
Carter was born and raised on a peanut farm in Georgia. After serving in the Navy, he jumped into politics. He was president from 1977 to 1981, and even though he only served one term, he made a big impact.
After leaving the White House, he didn’t just kick back and relax. Instead, he threw himself into humanitarian work. He was a huge supporter of Habitat for Humanity, helping to build homes for those in need.
His efforts didn’t go unnoticed. In 2002, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his work in international diplomacy. It’s pretty amazing how he continued to serve others long after his presidency.
This news comes from The Canadian Press, and it’s a reminder of the legacy he leaves behind. He truly dedicated his life to making the world a better place.
