While showing photo's , many of them had Jengish in them, so they started asking questions about who he was and what he did for PI... they were quite fascinated that such a young man could make such an impact , or that he would be so willing to do this kind of work... I then looked at the time and saw it was 12:30 at night in Central Asia, and knew Jengish would be just getting in from working with the homeless, so we gave him a call...
The clash between modern technology, and the Ara that these ladies grew up in was amazing... they were so excited to talk to someone from the other side of the world, to be able to ask questions, and to , for a minute feel connected to him... One lady sat quietly with tears streaming down her face... 10105 Kilometers away as the crow flies, and Jenish's care and compassion for those that he helps shone through in real time........

John, I think that part of your role ....is simply creating connections. And how powerful that is!!! It is the one theme that constantly comes through for me when I think of you...you facilitate the creation of a sense of community between people near and far who otherwise might not ever meet. The interdependence you encourage among those you meet and in Central Asia is amazing...your mind is always clicking and you immediately see how and where people can be "plugged in". It is a gift that most do not have, and though initially it is an intangible gift, I am convinced it is at the core of your success...ah yea, that and the fact that Dad ..must totally dig using you!
