Alex,

Thank you very much for your warm welcome. Your kindness is greatly appreciated. I learned about Changents last week from the Chronicle of Philanthropy eNews and I was thrilled to learn about your work and decided to join Changents right away. Thank you very much for creating such a wonderful platform for change agents to share their stories, and learn from each other as we all try to make our world community a better place for all. So, I am very thrilled to be part of this dynamic group of people.
I just saw Shawn's story and in fact I was introduced to Shawn Smith a couple of months ago but I am going to contact him again. Thank you for suggesting that Alex and if you know of other people that you think I should connect with you, please let me know.
