Tipping Bucket

So I know I haven't posted anything for a while. I'm sorry. I'd say I've been busy with school or something, but that would be a lie. I think I've just been lazy, or riding my bike.

Anyways, a couple friends of mine, Ryan and Angie Fairchild, are heading to Uganda in a few weeks to work as country directors for an NGO called HELP International. They're going to be helping restore sight to people with cataracts and river blindness disease. They explain the project in the following video:



Ryan and Angie are two of my favorite people. One of the reasons I like them so much is because they like helping other people, but not through the typical ineffective bleeding heart methods. They're a little too cynical for that (they have both taken classes/worked for Frank McInytre). These are two of the most intelligent people I know, and they would never waste their time on a development project that wasn't worth it. What I'm trying to say, is this is a project worth donating to. If you like the video and want to know more or help out with a donation to their project (they're trying to raise about $3,000), click here.
