Grateful

DateTuesday, November 24, 2009

The children at Shepherds Junior School in Arusha, Tanzania were so eager to be seen and heard. Proud to be in uniform. Happy to be learning. Excited to host visitors. Wowed by new laptops and the idea of being connected to people across the world via the Internet. Grateful.

Last night I joined friends from Epic Change and The LAC Project online for a live video chat with Mama Lucy Kamptoni, founder of Shepherds Junior School, to help kick off TweetsGiving 2009, a global celebration of gratitude beginning today through Thanksgiving. Since 2003, Mama Lucy has grown this school to embrace and educate 350 students ages 3-13, despite limited resources and a slew of hardships. Thanks to TweetsGiving 2008, lots of people like you made small contributions that funded a new classroom for the school.

I guess that's really what it takes to make good things happen – a few hopeful and courageous souls like Mama Lucy and a lot of inspired people like us raising our hands to ask how we might help.
