Our Big Plans

As promised, here are our plans for the coming year. We are in the process of developing a charity business venture. As most of us know, the balance of power and wealth in this world is unequal. We want to do our part to help equalize this imbalance through providing training, employment, and education for disadvantaged people in a developing nation. We plan to achieve this through the founding of an uncommon community center in a developing country that will offer free to low cost therapy, English language learning classes, community resources and education, as well as providing employment and work skills training through the project’s coffee shop and bed and breakfast.

We have been hard at work developing a business plan, establishing priorities and goals, and researching resources and potential locations. From a possible 160 plus countries, we have narrowed the possibilities down to 16. We are currently narrowing this down further to our top 3 picks. We’ll talk more about that process, the countries, and our criteria next blog.

We have also been in contact with Seeing Hands and have been invited back this year. We are hoping this will fit in with our commitments to our project as we would love to go back. Over the next week or so we’ll have to make some decisions.

On a lighter note, our friend, Gina, came up from California, and she and Andy opened up a time capsule from 10 years ago. Included in the contents were letters written 10 years ago to our future selves.
