New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, who is one of the great advocates for women and the eradication of extreme poverty in the world, has written an article about BeadforLife and how people can get involved in the fight against global poverty. It is so exciting to have him as part of the bead circle. Hosting a bead party is a wonderful way to make a difference and it is so much fun. To learn more about BeadforLife visit its website at http://beadforlife.org. Cinematographer Paul Hillman and I are returning to Uganda again in June to do more videotaping on behalf of BeadforLife and will look forward to sharing more stories of inspiration and hope with you in the fall.
