The Philanthropist
I watched The Philanthropist on Wednesday night. The episode was about the philanthropist getting a vaccine to a remote area in Nigeria. After the program, I actually went to the NBC website to see what information they were providing about Nigeria and ways to make a difference in Nigeria.
Watching The Philanthropist and reading about Nigeria sparked in me again a desire to prepare more people to make a difference in remote areas of third world countries. I have had this wild idea about starting a masters program in international non-profit leadership. The program would be a two year program. The first year of the program would introduce students to a specific third world country and its current situation and needs as well as the basics of non-profit management. Students would spend time during the first summer in a third world country collecting specific information about needs. During the second year, students would develop a plan to establish a self-sustaining non-profit project in a third world country. Students would go to the third world country and implement the project during the second summer.
Right now, establishing a program in international non-profit leadership seems like a dream.
I am a dreamer. Dreams do come true though.
If you are reading this, let me know what you think about the idea of a degree in international non-profit leadership. Pray that God will send the resources to implement a program in international non-profit leadership. If you know of some great resources to help with this program, let me know. Right now, it is just a dream, but our God is powerful enough to make it a reality.
This is a GREAT dream! I am praying about this with you, and will send a link to this idea to others who may be able to help that dream along
I believe some dreams, especially those which benefit others and require a sacrifice on our part, are more like a leading down the path. Run after it! Sounds like an incredible idea…faith in action, isn’t that what it’s all about anyway?
I’m in… just tell me where to sign up!
