Show Notes
WHAT WE DISCUSSED IN THIS INTERVIEW:
- How modifying your perspective on something so important will radically change your life.
- What you feel when you step inside a country like Uganda, how it changes your life and gets in your heart
- You can’t even imagine what the slums in Uganda are like, the smell, the waste, the garbage yet Jennings has been 13 times to help make a difference for all that live there.
- Listen to the story of a grandmother who is raising 6 grandchildren from 2 of her children who have died of AIDS...unfathomable.
- Who really benefits from the normal average non-profit? Jennings describes in detail how different their organization is and how the people she helps learn new skills to take out to the world and make a difference.
- What happens when you work with a nation that is mostly illiterate? Or that 65% of the population is under 18? What is in store for Ugandans going forward?
- Here’s how you can really truly make a difference in the lives of others that don’t have access to clean water, clothes or food every day; imagine only eating every other day?
- Learn how vitally important schools being open in a country like Uganda so that children can have food to eat every day.
- The shocking stories of teen pregnancies in the slums of Kampala and how food is traded for sex.

I have great news. After many meetings and explanations, the Panamanian government has agreed to keep the Investors Visa at a $300k Real Estate investment instead of nearly doubling the amount required, as they said they would. This is a massive win for our community who wants to move to or invest in Panama, but I am not sure how long this will last… If you have been thinking about Panama, then I want to make an invitation to you today.
