The Small World Project
I recently read somewhere that you will meet approximately 4,000 people in a lifetime. That number seemed small to me, so I decided to start documenting every new person I meet over the course of a year.
Thus the Small World Project is born with today's entries:
#1 - A young woman from Uganda, who is the niece of a colleague. I was lucky enough to have lunch with her today. She is brilliant and full of energy and life.
#2 - The friend of a colleague who is from Haiti.
#3 - The friend of a friend who is an attorney with the African Union.
This article was written on 10 Dec 2008, and is filled under Small World Project.
