We are back home again in Indiana after 10 days in India, Nepal, Singapore & Malaysia.
It was a great trip meeting with existing & potential partners & donors.
Highlights included:
- Visiting a Kathmandu drug rehab center as they were graduating a recovering addict after 2 years in the program.
- Visiting a partner’s soccer & basketball academy in Kathmandu while the kids were having their clinics.
- Meeting with 2 different groups of coaches in Chennai.
- 2 friends had babies just after our visits.
- Made connections with potential new partners for Mongolia & Myanmar.
These trips are always exhausting but encouraging. & I’m grateful that I get to go on them.
Lots of opportunities, lots of work, lots of friends, lots of partners….
Relationships are the foundation of a good partnership. Face to face time with friends & partners in their homes & offices is a key to keeping relationships & therefore partnerships strong.
I am grateful for our amazing partners, advisors & donors who work so hard to help children play.
I am on my way to Asia for 10 days visiting Ball Project partners & projects in India, Nepal, Singapore & Malaysia.
I will also be visiting friends & other projects such as Sangita Charitable Trust, one of The Viewfinder Project partners.
I am calling the trip the Asian Airport Tour because we will barely be in each country for more than 48 hours. I say ‘we’ because one of the fabulous Ball Project Advisory Team members is coming along to see some of what is happening around the world. It should be good fun.
A trip like this is a great help to understand better what partners are doing & current challenges & opportunities they may be having. &, of course, face to face time is always more valuable than simply trading emails, text messages, pictures or videos.
I am always grateful for time with our amazing partners who do so much to help children play.
I am on a 2 week trip to visit Ball Project partners, projects & potential partners in India, Nepal, Malaysia & Singapore.
These trips are always exhausting & encouraging. & they are a great way to continue to grow, learn, network & build our relationships & trust with our partners.
Any thoughts, well wishes, prayers &/or good vibes sent my way will be most appreciated.
Ball Project is very grateful for our wonderful partners around the world working hard to help children by helping children play.
