If you can help just a few people get jobs, and give a few more a glimpse of an American giving selflessly, good for you! It’s a cliche, but think of the Grand Canyon when you’re pondering real change. On a human scale I think change comes about as a result of kindness and competent help powered by compassion but unhindered by expectations.

Christ did it with just 12 men and look where his teachings are today. Keep faith hope and love alive. Love you bro

Not an easy concept for those of us living in a “right now” culture. Keep that smile on your face – it does a lot.

Even within the environment of inefficiency, corruption and shameful behavior, I know that you are providing thoughtful and valuable counsel to the people who you work and associate with. It is these folks and folks like them who will form the foundation of 21st Century Africa.

Keep up the great and valuable work!
