michael in kansas city

Michael’s visit ended too soon. We did get a lot accomplished over the course of three days, however. Michael graciously met with many friends of Change the Truth, answering their questions in an articulate and thoughtful manner. What amazed both of us was the range of creative ideas people have devised to raise awareness of and funds for the orphanage. We took lots of notes during our meetings and hope to begin implementing some of these projects in the near future. Stay tuned!

Michael got a pretty good taste of Kansas City, dining on Kansas City strip steak, listening to some very good jazz at Jardines, checking out the Plaza, touring Operation Breakthrough and the Jewish Community Center and discovering KC bar-b-que. He even managed to meet some of the Harlem Globetrotter who were here for a kid’s basketball camp. He wasn’t sure who they were, only that they were tall, but we took a picture anyway.
