Help Dave Change Lives

A fellow toastmaster of mine, a 40 year old silicon valley high tech professional working in Corporate Development and Mergers & Acquisitions for Intuit, has taken 3 months off from work (with the support of his senior management) to change lives by giving back to the world community.

His goal, under the auspices of Habitat for Humanity, is to build 25 permanent houses and a counseling center in Colombia for victims of violence in order to take as many as 150 displaced people off the street for the rest of their lives and keep an untold number of kids out of a life of prostitution and sexual exploitation.
