For Greg it is ALL ABOUT THE KIDS! He gives so many hours to help benefit others and offer these children a very bright future. Everyone can give up something for these children, maybe you brown bag your lunch one day, skip your coffee for a week, just to make a small donation to Macha, every dollar can help. Think about it, most of us couldn't give up electricity, let alone the internet for even a day, imagine if you NEVER had electricity, running water or even shoes. Imagine that it takes 2 hours to go 45 miles to the NEAREST town for groceries/food b/c you can't go faster than 20 miles/hr b/c the gullies and pot holes on dirt roads are SO BAD. Imagine walking 1-2 hours EVERY day just so you could get an education, most kids today, won't even ride the bus, they want their parents to take them so they don't have to get up early. We are so blessed, it is time we share the wealth. Please help Macha!!

I have had the priviledge to work with them in Botswana and our families are friends. I think what Greg is doing is great as I understand the need that exists in Macha. The school is not only an education for these children (which in itself is a great thing), but for children like Beauty, it gives them a home and builds confidence in them that they have value- they matter. To me that is priceless. I know Greg and his parents, Gil and Ronda. I have had the priviledge to work with them in Botswana and our families are friends.
