A young reporter was interviewing people working at a construction site. She asked one of the working men: “Could you tell me about what you do?” He said: “I’m a bricklayer. I take bricks from there and lay them here, in a row. I do this every day. Just lay bricks.” “I see”, she said, “and do you like your job?” The man shrugged. “It’s a dumb job and pays barely enough to put bread on my table. What is there to like?”
A bit disappointed, the reporter approached another of the working men and asked: “How about you, sir? Do you like what you’re doing?” The man smiled and said: “I have the best job I could dream of”. “And what is it that you do?” the reporter asked. “I’m building a hospital, where people will be treated by doctors and visited by their loved ones. Last month, I was building a school, where children’s talents are nurtured and their future is decided. Sometimes I build houses, where mothers keep their babies warm.” “Yes, but what is it that you do, exactly?” asked the reporter. “Oh. I lay bricks. I’m a bricklayer.” the man said.
Anything you do regularly for a long time, even if it seems mundane and small, is laying bricks for something bigger. Jambo has existed for nearly two decades now. Every event, every participant’s donation is like laying a brick. The donations have helped people build farms, learn to read, start family businesses in underdeveloped areas, plant trees and keep orphans off the street. With Jambo having become an official NPO, the future is full of opportunities!
