Unfathomable Gratitude

What started out as a dream for the Project Kindle family, came to fruition at 1:00 a.m. Sunday morning, March 8, 2009. A dream that stood in the hearts, hopes and lives for so many had become a reality. A moment only made possible through the endless commitment and dedication by heroic individuals. There are no new words to express the sentiment felt throughout the tent on the east lawn of Norris Student Center.

You are our heroes because of your selfless acts of kindness and desire to light a fire of change.

A few quotes to echo our sentiments:

“That’s why they’re heroes, they don’t try to be heroes. Doing every day what everyday people won’t do. If you can care when no one’s watching, then a light will light your way.” ~ Kenny Rogers

“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” ~ Mark Twain

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” ~ Gandhi

Each one of you is to be thanked for your participation. Our partnership kindles hope, education, services, new opportunities and a future that will forever live in the legacy of NUDM/PK 2009.

Most kind regards,

Eva Payne, Founder and Brett Avila, NUDM/PK Liaison
