Almost Completely Unexpected

Last month, I was asked to make a video clip to be shown at a golf tournament for local business people. The EFCCM was to be highlighted as the nonprofit of choice, and they wanted to feature some projects of ours in Bolivia. I jumped at the chance, but you never know where these things will lead, if anywhere. I started with fairly low expectations. And my expectations were lowered further when I heard that the venue wasn't really suited to video playback, the audio didn't carry well during the presentation, and while it was onscreen the attendees were boisterous and distracted. So imagine my surprise when I was handed the report that we just received $12,000 from the event.

$12,000! That's going to be a big boost to our ongoing projects in Latin America. As I type this, I'm doing a little happy dance inside. :-)
