A bit off topic, but I know you guys are great about good causes. I have two friends who just finished 3 years as Peace Corps Volunteers in Vanuatu (its a tiny developing country between Fiji and Australia). One of the many things they did out there, was to teach some of the youth martial arts. Martial arts have a lot to do with who I am today. Its helped me be more confident, disciplined, a volunteer, etc. They saw similar changes in the youth out there. This is even more vital because of the culture in Vanuatu. They are giving these youth the confidence to be active leaders in their country, which is not very common, given the unemployment rates which especially hit young people hard. Anyway, they are running an indiegogo campaign to bring three of the students to the US for extensive martial art training to keep the program going. The students will not only learn martial arts, but become better versed in English, as well as get some time in another culture, which will also help them go far in life. Please check out the campaign. I plan on donating what I can today. They are also running a reddit Ask Me Anything thing today. reddit/r/IAmA/comments/1wnfrb/we_spent_three_years_as_peace_corps_volunteers_on/ They are really cool people, and will answer your questions the best they can. Thanks for your time. We now return to the normal Gryphon Fleet programming.
