What started out as a little wish to celebrate Sarah-Faith’s first birthday in a little classroom at school with a small group of friends has gone beyond my wildest expectations.
The school program office ended up booking the largest function hall at Hopkins, professors cancelled a concentration meeting, and just last week, as I was making enquiries on catering to buy lunch as a way of thanking everyone for their love & support… my program director informed me that some anonymous donors had stepped in to sponsor the entire event, including lunch and cake for 200 people.
I’ll be giving a short talk on the intersection of publishing, philanthropy and global health, and launching Kitesong as a global social venture. If you’d like to come and enjoy lunch & cake on the house, feel free to join us tomorrow.
