Introduction I've just accepted a rare opportunity to help develop global citizens in the US and educational opportunities for the people of Afghanistan - especially women and children. I strive for reciprocity - giving and receiving without obligation, guilt or expectations. I strive for compassion, humility, mercy, forgiveness and peace. I believe in diversity - that all people enrich me and help me become a better person. I want to learn something new every day. This is my first blog - I look forward to what you will teach me.
Interests Music, sports - especially football (Go Huskies!), reading, hiking and SUNSHINE. My more serious interests are social justice/human rIghts, global education/health/poverty.
