A Month Later! In Canada

Hey Everyone!

It's been exactly 1 month to the day since the last update after the great event at Sunningdale. I returned to Canada at the beginning of May and have been pretty busy settling in since then. I'm looking for jobs at the moment, but am focusing on Sud Academy and the Boys as well. Lots of people are interested in becoming involved, helping to fundraise, donating funds or even going to Nairobi themselves! I am inspired by all the feedback, and am excited to be doing some talks at local high schools next week. I want to get some youth on board with the projects and see what fresh ideas might be lurking in the halls. I've talked to the boys a few times since returning, and other than missing me, they are ok ;-)! School's moving on, 4 of 6 are in boarding, and the other 2 will be boarding next term. We found some of them medical attention (I hear!) so they are well fed, rested, studying hard and (getting) healthy. For those of you in London area, I hope to see you at the Black Trumpet event on June 14th between 4-8pm. Let's raise some serious cash and build Sud into a school that we'd all be proud of. Let me leave you with an idea from a very wise, British politician, Sir Winston Churchill:

" We make a living by what we get; we make a life by what we give."
