Again, I have the priviledge of working with my friends Taike, Nok and Mapanoy in sponsoring a deserving Monk in Laos complete law school.

Thing is, an entire year of law school is less than one night's revenue from playing three hours at an upscale restaurant ($240.00).

Sometimes, it's the little gestures that can make a tremendous difference in not only a person's future, but in assisting in the formation of valued productive citizens. This young man is one we've been involved with as an undergraduate. He has written a heartfelt letter of appreciation in the past.

It is my honor to help out. And I'm happy to be involved in such a cause with my new "extended family".

The opportunities to help are everywhere and often take nothing more than a little time on our part.

We can all make a difference if we just make it a priority.

And doing so does as much for us as the ones we assist.
