Lose to Win...again and again.

 One of the people I respect the most is Emmanuel Jal, a Sudanese international hip-hop artist and human rights activist, began his Lose to Win campaign and ate only one meal a day for over 600 days between December 2008 and October 2010 to raise money for his charity, GUA Africa, and a school named after the woman who saved him, Emma Academy.  Today we spoke and shared inspiration.  I lost virtually everything and won myself and Emmanuel Jal's faith and spirit has carried me during very dark and frustating times.   He is all I aspire to be...joy of life, compassion for all, a will to survive and a determination to make the world better.
