Ants, Elephants, and Camels
While in Kenya meeting with groups I made an ambitious goal of starting what I called a Social Capital Network, and would later become Covalent Global Capital, in the second quarter of 2009. The date was chosen because it would mark 1 year since I went to Africa to investigate the possibility of individual giving to African-led charities. This goal was set to motivate my full efforts to bring broad financial support to community-based, self-help efforts throughout Kenya. The goal, as I mentioned, was “ambitious” in sense that this was a new venture and the possibility of failure has to be recognized.
I am sad to report that this goal was not achieved. I motivated my full efforts, my mind, my time, and my heart to this effort. I cut out all other options to assure that I held true that all my effort would see this through. This effort is not been barren but rather has born a new direction for Covalent Global Capital. (more)
