Today we honor the memory of former Roadie John Kelly, who passed away on March 28, 2011. Below is a documentary about his life and is told through the words of his family, friends, and his own personal journals. The film was directed and narrated by his close friend John Tessitore. “I loved John. John loved [...] Read More
Intern Spotlight // Human Resources
March 14, 2013 by Danny Porter
Sometimes two is better than one. And when it comes to HR interns, that statement has proven true. Enter Anthony and Nataly. They’re an integral part of our Human Resources Department. They’re masters at balancing work, school, and play. And frankly, they’re just plain fun to be around. You won’t find any Toby Flendersons in this office. In [...] Read More
Intern Spotlight // Communications
March 12, 2013 by Danny Porter
Meet Juan. He loves music. In fact, he estimates that since high school he’s been to at least 600 live shows. He also spent four life-changing months in Spain. When he’s not standing in the middle of a crowd or dancing to the beat of the music, he’s using his innate understanding of social media strategy and [...] Read More
Intern Spotlight // International Programs
March 11, 2013 by Danny Porter
Meet Saskia. She holds three nationalities – the U.S., France, and the Netherlands. She speaks both French and English fluently, and her immediate supervisors spend the majority of their time in Central Africa traversing the terrain, implementing early warning radio towers, and dropping defection flyers from planes. Saskia is a member of our international programs team, which [...] Read More
The Traveling Writers
March 1, 2013 by Carl Stevens
Don’t get us wrong – our two staff writers are perfectly content working out of our San Diego office (they’re both SD natives). When they heard the news that they were traveling to Uganda to visit our Gulu and Kampala offices and tour our programs, though, it’s safe to say they were more than willing [...] Read More

February 28, 2013 by Danny Porter
Meet Monica. She’s a self-proclaimed lover of the sun, which makes living in San Diego the perfect fit. More importantly she’s also a self-proclaimed planner, which makes her the perfect fit as our Donor Communications intern. Monica and the rest of the Development team get the opportunity to individually thank and work with our donors and [...] Read More
Intern spotlight // Engagement
February 26, 2013 by Danny Porter
Meet Jesse. He’s a member of our Engagement Team and he rarely forgoes the opportunity to suit up – more often than not, he’s best-dressed in the office. Credit that to his mom and the online tie borrowing club he’s a member of. But enough about the suit and tie. Let’s get down to the business [...] Read More
A valentine for our donors
February 14, 2013 by Krista Morgan
Our donors are the most incredible people we know. The work that we do is only possible because of their generosity. Period. There aren’t really words to fully describe how much we love them, but in an attempt to articulate our feelings, here are some thoughts: They are the Batman to our Robin, the Sherlock Holmes to [...] Read More
Meet our Board of Directors
February 14, 2013 by Alex Naser-Hall
Last week became very official when we welcomed new members to our Board of Directors (aha, Charity Navigator!) during the first meeting of 2013. We had a lovely lunch, some casual getting-to-know-you-non-romantic speed dating, and fruitful meetings of the minds. It went well. Meet our newly renovated Board of Directors: Darren Hardy // Publisher and [...] Read More
