A great thank you for this valiant effort @galenkp
Trust is a big matter concerning charities as some have really given it a bad name.
Many have mistrusted us at Papillon's beginning 20 years ago, but when an unemployed young guy walked into a job after training at Papillon, the communities adopted us.
I have repeated this a hundred times and will now again say here that one will pour money down a drain if they try to take their own ideas into a community.
If the community does not own it, then it will fail, no matter the amount of funds that are poured into it.
Trust is the anchor and the communities own Papillon. They bring their ideas to us and we help them to establish it. Then they take ownership and the miracles start to happen.
Feeding is good short term fix, but quality education is the top long term focus.
Papillon has a long history of successes over the past 20 years solely because we regard our work not as a job, but rather as a calling and so do our volunteer board members.
I have high expectations for our new free coding training project for the children at poor schools and it is good step up after the basic PC training.
Our partner Npo's in the education fields are also engaged in the project and thankfully we don't have to re-invent the wheel, as all of the infrastructure is in place.
We have always struggled, but that did not stop us from doing our work.
You do great work Zac and this is my small way of bringing a little more attention to your charity. I hope it works.
Not many guys will dare to call the G-dog a darling and I think that Faith will be impressed to hear that I call you as such.
It could score you some points if you tell her and with our wives any points scored can maybe have a nice bonus 😉
Thank you for the nice surprise my friend.
