Thanks Betty, thanks to the One Volunteers and most of all to the RESULTS volunteers for hosting the event....unstoppable commitment until the political will to eliminate hunger and poverty becomes every child's birthright.

Bravo to the HIV prevention researchers in Minneapolis-St Paul and elsewhere. Kudos to the Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB and malaria. We almost extinguished TB in the '70s (we DID extinguish smallpox) and we can do it again. The incredible power of communication in person, and via this blog, and when we share what's in our hearts, gives us a glimpse of what is possible when people have functioning outlets for all our energies and vision. I suggest the people in this network of communication form a community that is causing opportunity for us all, and rapidly expanding the boundaries of what's possible for human beings.
