Nowhere Near Here

While I've been busy moving my life to Boston, trying to figure out how to use the public transit system here and looking for a decent brunch, my sister and my friend/former coworker have, through separate journeys, been in Nigeria helping children.

Their stories are inspiring, eye-opening, humorous and often quite sad. They make our daily problems seem very trivial.

My sister's blog, about working on an IBM project in Abuja, Nigeria.

My friend Matt's blog, about taking his whole family to volunteer at a Nigerian orphanage.

I highly recommend you spend a few minutes with them in lieu of Facebook or whatever.
