I am so proud of my amazing husband!! He and his team have been working their heads off for this competetion and TODAY THEY WON!! They gave a 45 minute presentation to the judges yesterday, and today was another presentation. They swept the competition winning 1st place in both the BYU Social Venture Competition and the People's Choice Award, earning their team about $25,000 to launch Phase I of their business plan, which includes building the hotel in India!!! YAY!

Camille--
I know I just commented (and please feel a little bit special here because this is probably the fifth time I've ever commented on anyone's blog ever), but I noticed that one of your favorite quotes is one of mine! I had it on my blog too a while back--the one about forgiveness from the Kite Runner. Is that amazing. See, we were destined to become friends. I will miss you guys when you go!

Congratulations guys, I can tell you have a great future ahead with many important things to do!
wow, how truly inspiring. I am so impressed that I just had to let you know. I wish everyone believed that small efforts made a difference and actually did something about it - including myself. I watch you do what you do and think, wow, I wish I was brave enough to do something. Congratulations and how inspiring you are.
