Thank you, Blake, for your dedication and unyielding hard work this past year as our Country Coordinator. Purse of Hope would not be where it is today without your commitment to quality programs and your heart for the girls we serve in Uganda. It takes a special person willing to give up the comforts we are so accustomed to in America and live in an underdeveloped country—and to do so without complaint and entirely unselfishly. Thanks for sweating it out, literally, and helping to build the foundation for which these girls can stand upon.
Kelsey, we welcome you and look forward to the new energy and creativity you bring to Purse of Hope. I have every confidence that you will not only continue the work that has been started, but will begin to develop, in new and exciting ways, programs and projects that will further edify our girls. I thank you too for being willing to sacrifice air-conditioning in exchange for heart-conditioning. It is my hope that you’re not only empowered by the fruits of your labor, but are encouraged by all of us here—friends, family, Facebook fans, Twitter followers etc. You are an amazing woman and we look forward to sharing some of your experiences.
A sincere thank you to both of you.
