The adventure in Kenya has most certainly begun. The team and I are full steam ahead with spreading the word across Kenya and the globe for Race4Change, Jamii Bora and the Africa/Middle East Microcredit Summit. 

Today was a HUGE day for Race4Change!

Shortly after 8am this morning here in Nairobi, I left for the Serena hotel. A joint press conference with Jamii Bora was scheduled there to unveil our mission to the African media. The room was packed already by quarter after 9. A collection of African media and supporters were filling the seats as I entered. Joining me at the podium was Ingrid Munro, a woman of unsurpassable integrity, and the founder of Jamii Bora. We took the stage and explained to the media what Race4Change was all about – mobilizing masses to make small donations to bring an end to one of the world’s ugliest problems! My gut told me the message resonated but I had no idea what was about to follow. 

Later this evening, I received a telephone call from Ingrid. She was overjoyed. She had been receiving countless texts messages and phone calls all evening in reference to the press conference. It exploded all over the local news here in Kenya and excitement for the race and cause is growing exponentially. That is why I say…

The ball is rolling!! But we need YOU to help make it an unstoppable snowball. Spread it, Promote it, and Donate to it! With your help, and only your help, we can produce results previously unimaginable. The sky really is the limit.
