Ryan, I loved this article – especially seeing Billie Jean King talk – so amazing what you are doing. Thank you so much for heading this organization – I know it takes a lot of hard work.

Thanks Joan, what a privilege to meet Billie Jean. I joined Kate Groch and the team on the GWF mission almost six years ago and I am continually amazed by the love and dedication here. Amazingly, we are now over 100 people.

Well done, this is the sort of event that differentiates Londolozi from many of it’s competitors – which in the long run is their loss.

Bravo to all who participated in this inaugural event. The GWF is so timely and important for the development of good citizens of the world and this offshoot will continue to support and bring awareness to to those in need of care and encouragement.

Incredible evolution to 26,000 learners. I remember when…
Look forward to our visit to Hazy view next month!
Loved your visit to Sarasota and the new video!

Can’t wait to see you and Michele! Not quite at 26,000 yet, but once the Hazyview Cluster is complete, that’s our target.

I totally cracked up laughing when I read your description: The Palm, a famous westside hangout.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen it described that way!

Ryan, Congratulations on organizing such a powerful and meaningful event! We were proud to be a part of it. We are honored to know all of you and are inspired every day by your tireless passion for this incredible initiative. The Varty Family history with Kate that built this “ship” was the origin of the dream, and now the ever-growing results will be the legacy for generations to come! Bravo!

Thank you Michael, and we are so appreciative of the continued support of the All Heart Fund and the extended Sarasota community. Thank you Terri and Beth for joining us in New York.

I love it! Our third trip to Londolozi and a talk by Dave Varty inspired my husband and me to start our own nonprofit, which is scholarshipping talented young people to become active in ecotourism and anti-poaching as trackers/rangers. See how ubuntu grows? I have sent in an inquiry about having an event for GWF in Arizona!

Ryan James

Thanks Linda – that is amazing – I am looking forward to connecting so that we can hear the full story. We have received your enquiry and we’re excited!
