The Rice Raiser

Today was a great day in that my wife and I celebrated the birthday of a friend of mine and his family at a brunch event today. Nothing like a Sunday Brunch on a sunny, Spring day at a quaint cafe, "Voila" with good friends...

During brunch, I also had the great fortune of meeting Ms. Lorri Sawatsky--visiting from Canada.
Lorrie is as example of an individual living life with courage, purpose, and vision. ( I love meeting people like this--the entire Orbis team fits into this category as well).

Lorri visited Cambodia several years ago and was appalled by the conditions of poverty she witnessed, including children using headlights to pick through garbage dumps for food...

Moved by her experiences, she has establised "The Rice Raiser" charity.
She is also working on getting non-profit status in the U.S.
