The kid they wrote off builds schools now.
A learning center built to give children in Rwanda a path that doesn’t depend on where they were born.
Training families in Malawi to feed and support themselves — independence, not dependence.
Scholarships in the town Terry grew up in — for kids being told the same thing he once was.
Terry doesn’t treat giving as a press release. These programs exist because he remembers exactly what it felt like to be a kid nobody was betting on — and decided, once he had the means, to be the person who bets on them.
A remote village Terry’s work has supported welcomed him with a song of thanks. This is what the work looks like on the ground.
After you’re gone, your things won’t last. Your money won’t last. Even your name won’t last. But the difference you’ve made in the world will last forever.
— Terry L. Fossum
