At 9:53pm on May 12, 2011, Irene Lee said…: Joann, it was a pleasure meeting you in Vancouver. I wished I could have stayed and talked to you more about Acumen org. but I was under the weather and not in the best. Jacqueline's talk on Ted.com "better immersion than to leave untouched" brought me back to life and I hope I can offer more to Acumen. I do hope I can meet Jacqueline and yourself one day in your New York office. talk to you later.

At 5:43pm on March 6, 2011, Irene Lee said…: Joann, I am in the Vancouver group but the last post they have is in Oct 2010 regarding the vancouver event and I am just waiting for news about upcoming event.

At 10:32pm on March 3, 2011, Irene Lee said…: Joann, I brought up the idea and I thought it is a great idea, but I don't have any solid lead for an amazing publisher. Naturally I would assume Rondale would be the most appropriate as they did the first book. I do have a couple of contacts I can check, sorry...

At 1:00am on March 1, 2011, Irene Lee said…: Has acumen fund considered having a "Young Reader Edition" of the Blue Sweater just like "Three cups of Tea"? I would not hesitate to buy this edition for my nephew who is in his tweens.
Another way of raising revenues and reaching out to the younger generation maybe?

Good Morning? I am leaving the opportunity and the options open to go beyond Acumen. Any investor into Agric and fruit processing or export is welcom either from the US, Europe or Asia. If you know a group or individual interested you can link me up with him. The outcome I would let you know and probably use part of the proceeds to donate to Acumen as the link.
Warm Regards,
Billy ALORVOR
