SOFII's Choice(s)

That day Bernard's agenda came to a premature close. In the half-hour that was left he decided to introduce his diverse audience to some of the basic principles 
of direct-mail fundraising, more 
as general background than in 
the belief it would have practical application.

Nadia didn't say much, but she had that rare ability to learn quickly from others. She took careful note of the samples of direct-mail packages that Bernard showed. She thought if these can work in other countries, why not in Ethiopia, where the need is so great? And where despite the poverty there were some people who could help her cause (which is to fight the rampant deforestation currently ravaging Ethiopia's countryside).
