Sorry I couldn't make the party! I was at a wedding for very good old friends. I gave Nelida Martinez $100 to initiate the Viva Farms revolving gift. When she's ready, she'll give $105 to another farmer growing at the incubator, to do whatever he or she wants to do with it. When he or she can, that farmer will give $110 to the next farmer. Slowly the fund grows. Nelida said she'll use it to buy lime for her farm, Pura Nelida, in the Skagit Valley.

I'm so excited to meet you all tomorrow! I'll be bringing one of my oldest family friends, Malina Bennett, and her husband John. And my own partner John Cary. What a gathering it will be.
Till then.

Courtney E. Martin,

Peace, prayers and blessings from Lahore, Pakistan!!!

I totally agree that Philanthropy and charities changes life from thoughts, words, psyche, attitudes till human acts and omissions.

Not only this the Philanthropy and charities give a very touch of acceptance and inclusion which further moves one towards optimistic approach towards life and God.

You are really doing wonderful job.

I will feel honored if I can contribute anything in it with you.

OK. The game is on! Our first group of agents met and discussed the challenges of the task at hand of giving away $100 and coming back and telling us about it. Here's a video of some of the comments made at yesterday's launch:

Here's a photo album as well:
