I had a wonderful time Friday night helping out a great group of people who do some very important work. I emceed an event for Global Education Plus at the KU Edwards campus in Overland Park. The group raises money for children, teachers and schools in developing countries. Thanks to funding from Global Education Plus, schools in Guatemala, Mexico, Brazil and other countries have been able to buy textbooks, provide teacher training and rebuild schools. Obviously, it's a great cause and I was impressed with the passion everyone involved with this group has for helping impoverished children. As they mentioned several times Friday night, it's all about providing something so important: hope.
