Edythe Kirchmaier is over 105 years old, Facebook's oldest - and possibly wisest, registered user. Kirchmaier has over 41,000 friends, and uses Facebook not just to enjoy photos of her loved ones - but to draw attention to the work of Direct Relief, the humanitarian organization for which she has been volunteering for the last 40 years. Her
Facebook page takes viewers to links to contribute to Direct Relief.

"I’ve always liked to help people," Kirchmaier says. "When I was in the second grade, my mother had a garden, and I went home and I asked her if I could take some potatoes and anything else from the garden. And she wanted to know why, and I said, 'It's for the poor children.' She looked at me and said, 'Well honey, there isn’t anyone poorer than we are.'"
Ultimately, her mother let her take the food. "So that became a habit and I think that’s how my desire to help people got its start," Kirchmaier says."
