Mike met one of his uncles this weekend. They met at a family gathering and found out they would be meeting up at the a big event later that evening. They talked for a long time as Mike was so intrigued with what he has been doing. I was dieing to get into the conversation but knew he would tell me later.
When later came he gave me the details. Apparently his uncle has a very stressful job but found the time to apply for a grant and was recently approved. The grant is paying for a program where Ethiopians in DC travel to Ethiopia and for native Ethiopians to travel to DC. It is a foreign exchange of Ethiopians to and from Ethiopia. How awesome for Ethiopians who live in DC to travel to their country and to give back in some way. How amazing for Ethiopians to visit DC to be educated and empowered.
I love stories like these because so many people want to do these acts of virtue. It is the example of people like Mike's uncle, which shows you, that you can do it. I'll keep you posted on the development of this new program. Please, follow through with your dreams.
