Power Post Number 3

It is true - I am consumed with HBI. In fact, I think everyone that works for (and with us) at this time is consumed with HBI. We have so much going on - from the day-to-day activities like keeping our finances in order, to the bigger picture projects of planning for an outreach team to Ancash in October - that sometimes it feels like we jsut can't stop moving at 100 mph . . . even for a moment.

I think this is a common "feeling" for any new organization. Especially non-governmental (i.e. not-for-profit) organizations that rely so heavily on volunteer person-power to move projects forward. Perhaps the greatest learning I am gaining in this "development" phase of our NGO is that you really have to settle-in for the long climb. The hard work of HBI is letting go of any "expectations" or preconceived timetables; and just settling in for the daily work of making a difference in the world - one e-mail and one phone call at a time.
