This story is beautiful, compelling and hope-filled. It left me a little dizzy with the question: what more could I do?
Also, it’s been awhile since I’ve given you any updates on the Amani Life Project. Great things are
happening, but Whitney and I have both had very busy schedules outside of it and so we’ve had a difficult time staying on top of everything. We are working on some exciting sponsorship opportunities, developing a plan for business involvement and are expecting the AWESOME Amani totes to arrive by November 5. If you signed up to sponsor, one of these fantastic bags will be arriving in your hands very soon. We have some wonderful partners who are working on some events for 2009 including sponsor dinners, benefit concerts and – quite possibly – a fashion show! How cool is it to send orphans to college? SO cool!
Thanks to everyone for your amazing, faithful support…we’re so excited to get about a month down the road when we can once again make Amani the focus of our existence and our reason for waking up in the morning. It’s comin!
We love you,
Bo, Whitney & 143 million others
Thanks for the update. I didn’t want to sound whiny but I’ve been checking my mail every day for my tote, so now I know to be patient!
A prayer request was shared this week for a couple grieving their stillborn daughter who was born 5 years ago…her middle name was Amani. I was dumbstruck when I read that. (They lived in Africa several years).
I am prayerfully waiting for the right time to share Amani Life Project with this couple. Sometimes we need a concrete focus to help us process grief.
My new addiction, or shall we call it my routine, is to come looking for a “shot of Bo” to go with my morning coffee. Thanks for taking the time to share your heart and wisdom with the rest of us!
I am so excited about this Bo!!! Yay!! What an awesome thing and FUN!!!
