Sometimes I am just awestruck that this is what we do. I get so floored by the impact my organization has the privilege to have on a week by week basis.
No, we're not the WHO, but a thousand little kids who probably speak a dozen different languages are going to hear a story this week that they are likely to carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Then next week, we get that privilege again. So cool.

I am so glad that you love what you do and that what you do is for the greater good, as opposed to working in a regular business! You are probably like me in that you could never see yourself working in a regular, non-public service job just for the money. We are both very proud of you!
Thanks, K! Just today I got to support people in Rwanda, Uganda, Alabama, Califoria, India and Malaysia. And you're right - I would rather serve people coffee during the day (with respect and a smile!) and write or sing or paint in order to contribute to society in my spare time than to push paper around. But it's a gift to have a career so invested in the wellbeing of people, and a bigger gift that people like you and my colleagues are inspired to do the same!
