Global Kids' Online Leadership Program

October was a rough month for me. Life is changing, and quick. Along with various personal trials, I suffered the loss of my father. I write about this not to dwell on my hard times, but to be thankful for the support and understanding I have received from my fellow Global Kids.

Maybe it’s due to the fact that this is a non-profit organization, or maybe I’m just lucky, but I have never met a group of such genuine, real people. The timing was difficult, as I was out of the office much of the week that we scheduled to launch the D.I.D.I. Initiative project. This week, above any other, I truly felt part of a team, as everybody, including many of our terrific interns and GK Leaders stepped in to help make the launch party and DIDI Island a great success.

So, I wanted to take this short time to reflect on how lucky I am to work with such people. Thank you, Global Kids, for your kind words, your hugs, and your support.
