I too want to thank you. Your book and blog has inspired me to take action, to DO something. I plan to dedicate the next year to global service. I want to see and feel and experience the joy and pain of becoming truly culturally aware. I trust it will change me forever, which I welcome wholeheartedly.

Keep writing. Your words are indeed making a difference and inspiring many.

I simply want to thank you. I had already been looking into MSF, and look forward to one day working in the field. Excitement, anticipation, a little insecurity; I imagine these feelings grow exponentially as the time approaches. You weren’t my introduction to humanitarian relief, my interest was already there. What you did for me was a vast de-glorification of the concept. And somehow, with that, you have ever increased my desire to DO something. So thank you, I hope all is well with you, and I will continue to read your blog as long as you write it.

PS- I’m going to buy your book tomorrow. Can’t wait.
