Reading the book gave me insight into how long and hard it is to go forward. You really have to be committed.This is what I gained most from reading the Blue Sweater
A place for all readers of Jacqueline Novogratz's The Blue Sweater to discuss the book, post favorite quotes & passages, and exchange ideas on ways to help.
I like the 'no matter where she is' element! You both look jolly attractive, under the circumstances...!

Dear Friends,
My name is Asadullah Khan, having Master in Economics working as Budget Consultant with USAID | Ministry of Labor Affairs Kabul Afghanistan. When I join ACUMEN FUND’s Community it was really something very nice and helpful for me. I am currently working voluntarily with many organizations in Pakistan and Afghanistan to support their projects targeting Afghans. Ideas are changing positively on continuously basis, As international community & United States supporting and taking active role in the development of Afghanistan, and sacrifices their beloved lives to make sure peace and prosperity for their people, for Afghans and keep peace globally.
Therefore I am interested to take your support by keeping & supporting the families of US nationals who sacrifices their life in Afghanistan fighting against Terrorists and as well as those Afghans who left small children and wives without supporters.
I am in need of volunteers who can register ARAEP/SEDA a non for profit organization in the United States to foster the cooperation of US with Afghanistan and Pakistan at grass roots level and also support the vulnerable/poor, disabled children and women in Afghanistan and as well as Afghan women and children in Pakistan to be enable to return to their home land with technical education and skills.
In this regard I need your strong cooperation that how we can contribute jointly.
We are going to link International organizations/volunteers with Local organizations, for more information please visit our website NGO Resource Centre (www.ngorc.org.af) ..Coming soon
Looking for your urgent response.
Regards

surinder kumar said… - Dear Teri,
So when were you in India last ? Do you visit us often ? Would love to meet you on your next visit. From your pictures I can make out that you spent your time in Gujarat. Am I right ? It is a lovely colouful place. Have you come as far to New Delhi. I reside there. I do a lot of travelling and do visit nearby rural areas for my skills training programmes. I had graduated in Social work so always remain connected with the villages through community development programmes.

- Dear Teri,
You have made that lovely little film on the Indian farmer. Obviously you have travelled to the interiors of India. You must have noticed that despite all the difficulties these people still lead a very fulfilled life. They are happy most of the time while engrossed in the little chores of day to day life.
