Big Dreams!
Im so pleased to announce, from this crazy keyboqrd in the basement of the Casablanca airport, that we hit our goal of 10,000 dollars!!!
Can you all believe it. I finally can.
As I sit here, Ive been up for over 30 hours now, after a 3 hour night of sleep, and all I can think about is getting there and getting the goats rolling in!
I picked up a copy of Anderson Coopers newest book, Dispatches from the Edge, and felt even more inspired.
Niger is one of his 4 featured stories, he covered the famine of 2005. I felt an immediate connection to this wildly successful and courageous journalist as I read his words on Niger.
On page 87, talking of his thoughts while inflight to Niger; "I worry that if I get too complacent; Ill lose all feeling; all sensation." Then speaking of being on his way, "The next day; I was on a plane, on my way. Id been relieved of the burden of vacation: I was in motion once again; hurtling through space. Nothing was certain, but everything was clear."
However, I do have certainty. Certainty that we are about to make big changes, and certainty that it wont stop here.
See you all in Niger.

Congratulations on reaching your $10,000 goal, Zoulleha! Not that it is much of a surprise given your boundless determination and courage. Seeds of Hope Africa is indeed a Big Dream that I am proud to be part of. Can't wait to hear about the success of the Goat Loan program when you return.
God's Speed, Joe
