30 pigs $475, Pig Home $600, Flight to Nepal $2500, Getting to invest in an amazing friend, family, culture...

PRICELESS

This is getting bigger than life and what I first saw as a crazy idea has turned into an amazing life altering event for alot more lives then I have ever imagined. Not only is it allowing my friend Magar to go back home to his family, but also his two brothers who are working here to support their families. It seems as though I have created jobs for notjust my friend and his wife, but his parents, his brothers, and their families, too. It will be realatively small start, but they want to grow the farm to one of the largest in Napal. I told them we would do it. This could potentiall secure jobs for generations of people in a third world country where the gross calita is less than $220 a year. That's right. Most people here live off of less than $1 a day!

My hope for this buisness is not just to secure finantial sucess for these people but to use the profits to send all their children to college. Something unheard of in the part of the world they are from. I really don't want to make profit off them, or their hard work...just enough to pay for a flight to enjoy it with them for a week or so once a year.

I think this just might be the most important thing I have done in the past 13 mos. It is the most fulfilling. Looking into the eyes of my friend as he tells me his father has already started to move on buying the pigs and build a pig house and how he will have this brother do this and his wife do that. He glows. I met his younger brother tonight and he couldn't stop saying how he was so glad tomeet me and how happy he was to be a part of this...and thank you...I hate working in Kuwait.

For the cost of a cruise for two I am hoping to provide an unimaginable lifestyle for some of the most humble, patient, accepting people I believe I will ever meet. I will go to Nepal. I will see this through. And I will have the most amazing stories to tell in the meanwhile.
