Twice I’ve had the privilege of visiting Africa with friends on ecotours. I have done nothing as thoughtful or amazing as Joe Wodiuk. I admire his courage and determination in what he has already done and I know he’s planning to do more. Like many others who have taken this trip, Joe commented that the kids amaze him. They live with immense challenge, but do not complain to strangers. They seem hopeful very often in the face of dangers few of us in the United States will face. Dee Flower, another friend from a Kenya ecotour, said, “I went to see the wildlife, but fell in love with the people.” I feel like that as well.
