bonfire

I’m sitting around a bonfire in Virginia, drinking tea and eating cookies with:

• A Jordanian surgeon[1] and his mother

• A Saudi Arabian artist

• A travel nurse who spent more than 20 years in a mission hospital in Ethiopia

• An Old Testament Scholar

• Two mechanical engineers on their way to a NASCAR race

Who says America’s divided?

[1] He got a scholarship to NYU; now he does Operation Smile in three different African countries. In addition to providing a better life for his family, bringing his neighbors together, and hosting touring cyclists in his home. Educate the poor and they will make the world a better place.
