Welcome aboard the Noonday Blog Train! If you are riding along and came from Mattie's, I'm so glad you're here.
It's been about four months since I started as a Noonday Ambassador. Although this investment was a tad impulsive in nature, the journey actually started 3 years ago in Ndola, Zambia. It was during my time there that my heart was turned toward the distinction of charity versus education and self-reliance. It was then that I realized that well intended charity can sometimes cause more harm than good.
