John (and Sarah and Becky and Chan and the girls),

"Empowerment", "Collaboration" and "Partnership" have sadly become such Weasel Words over the past few years - the must-haves in the (costly) development of so many touchy-feely NGO "mission statements". (Guy Kawasaki would be loving me right now! :)

And then you guys come along and do your thing - and it all has true meaning again. Meat on the bones.

If anyone wants a working example of "best practice", they really don't have to look much further than TEN and it's partners.

This was my favourite read of the week. Congratulations to all of you working on and for the next step - The Destiny Program.

(I LOVE the name - and I can't wait to go back to Calcutta and meet Chan and the girls; what an honour that will be.)
