giving back

---

Sunday is a good day to spend developing a web site for the people of Nasca...

For over twenty years, i accumulated money and stuff, working like a mad man to get to the top of corporate america - VP Sales for the Americas, Australia - VP Consulting, VP Sales EDS, VP Sales blah blah blah -

At fourty i realized the top of the 1% of wealth in all of the world was a shame badge not an accomplishment. It works for many people, and I do not intend to insult or slam or question any motives or results or lifetime accomplishments of anyone reading this or alive - this is about me.

The web site is my gift to the people of Nasca - i beleive it to be one of the most comprehensive compendiums of cultural, historical and social photographs available - definately with the intent of bringing tourism and foreign money to this small corner of the world... as Theresa of Calcutta so aptly stated ¨we can do no great things, only small things with great love¨ -

part of the web site will be up and running before i leave, and the remainder will be completed with consultation of some local experts (historical text for accuracy). God say´s whatever we commit to Him, he will see it succeed - I commit this to Him, to help the people trying to feed their children here in Nasca...

so much for that -

peace and love from nasca -
