Where are the needs?
I don't like the idea of asking for money. In fact, it goes against every bit of my pride to even let people treat me to meals. But, there are at least a couple places that I consider worth contributing resources to:
La Villa Esperanza in Managua, Nicaragua
Improved Outcomes
The Villa earned a special place in my heart when I first visited in 2010. I've been back 3 times since then - most recently in 2017. Their objectives are clear and worthwhile, and the people who are guiding the effort have become personal friends. I aim to support their progress however I am able to.
The Local Enterprise Assistance Fund
Small business support
When I first started working for LEAF, I didn't have a complete sense of how meaningful the work that's being done is. Wealth inequality is a problem. There are several ways to approach it, but LEAF's mission has always been to "promote human and economic development". The method has been business support

Projects
There are several projects that I'm working on. If you'd like to be involved or to otherwise contribute to their success, please don't hesitate to contact me. There are many problems in the world that are worth solving. Some of them will take huge efforts and vast resources. We have to start somewhere.
