Why I’m Here

As President of the Eyes on Africa Foundation, I know how difficult it can be to stand up and make a change.  I wanted to join Think to meet other people who are finding time to do what they're passionate about.

 

I'm tired of people saying that our generation will be the ones to change the world.  Why can't we be that generation now?  I don't want to look foraward to changing the world... I want to change it!  When will we be ready?  After college?  After we get settled with a family?  After retirement?

 

I'M READY NOW!

Eyes on Africa Foundation
We are a product of our experiences, and this was an incredibly eye opening one for me. What I can’t believe is that my eyes were closed to begin with. My hope isn’t to throw over whelming numbers and heartbreaking pictures at you in return for your money. My hope is that you can grow to understand...
