This morning I've embarked on a journey to a far away land (from New York) to a little country we know as Laos, where I'll be joining my friend Adam Braun, the director of an organization called Pencils of Promise. An organization that I truly believe is a great non-profit model that builds sustainable schools for kids in small villages. So many organizations have unsustainable models that in the end create a mindset of dependency (an in-depth conversation to have) which is even more harmful to a social ecosystem. This minute and a half video has a quick fun overview of how the organization works and it's mission.

I'm a believer in giving back as much as possible especially to be blessed with a career/dream job as I have. It's a goal of mine to be able to collaborate and do at least one non-profit job per year. What goes around comes around. I would encourage you to give back using the talent's and skills you have, whatever that may be.
My homie Jeremy Cowart has a great project on 12.12.09 called the Help Portrait. By now you may have already heard of it. A great way to get involved in something bigger than ourselves and give back. http://www.help-portrait.com/
Stay tuned for some blog updates and images from Laos

It is not true suffering ennobles the character; happiness does that sometimes, but suffering, for the most part, makes men petty and vindictive. （William Somerset Maugham, British novelist）

One understands that humen's life seems to be expensive, nevertheless some people require cash for various issues and not every man earns enough money. So to get good loan and just bank loan should be a correct way out.
