Sitting at Jeffrey Sachs feet

In preparation for my tour in West Africa, I have been meeting with folks courting resources and money for our work on the ground. I also have been re-reading Sachs' The End of Poverty. Jeffrey Sachs is a noted scholar on the topic of eradicating extreme poverty. His work with Bono is fantastic. I will soon post a few of my findings in his book. More to come...Stay tuned...

Preface to the journey

Welcome to the online journal of my travels to West Africa. I will be in country between 1 and 15 December. My Associate, Jim, and I are working to bring renewable energy (wind and solar resources) to the people of West Africa. For operational security reasons, I will not go into detail of our itinerary or location until I return. I appreciate your enduring support in this assignment. Frequently check this journal for updates, photos, videos, and so forth to keep abreast of how you can make a difference in this severely under-developed region of our planet.

Warmest Regards,

John Ross Pughe
