Our smallest project to date, proving that it does not need to be big to be meaningful. Working with volunteers to update a homeless youth shelter would already have been enough to make a difference in people’s lives. When president elect Obama joined forces it elevated the project from relevant to epic, with 500 million people watching the live broadcast and pushing helping each other to the top of his agenda in the White House. Sometimes it helps when a human personality is involved.
