Luanne Ferguson, a dear friend from Tampa, Florida, is in the midst of her African adventure: traveling through Rwanda, Kenya, and Uganda. We were so excited to see her during her time in Rwanda. Luanne and I first met when she attended an event that I organized at Studio 620 in St. Petersburg, Florida in 2008 (which was graciously hosted by Peter Kageyama at Creative Cities Productions). She saw a notice in the local newspaper about a Rwanda event and decided to attend since her son, Zach, wrote his masters thesis on the Rwandan genocide. Luanne has been an incredible supporter and source of encouragement since then, and also helped to organize our recent Benefit in Tampa. We were thrilled that she finally made the trek over to Africa. She is now off on safari in Kenya!
Luanne and I had a full day together: tour of the Akilah campus and Fantas on Lake Gashora
