A young reporter was interviewing people working at a construction site. She asked one of the working men: \u201cCould you tell me about what you do?\u201d He said: \u201cI\u2019m a bricklayer. I take bricks from there and lay them here, in a row. I do this every day. Just lay bricks.\u201d \u201cI see\u201d, she said, \u201cand do you like your job?\u201d The man shrugged. \u201cIt\u2019s a dumb job and pays barely enough to put bread on my table. What is there to like?\u201d<\/p>\n
A bit disappointed, the reporter approached another of the working men and asked: \u201cHow about you, sir? Do you like what you\u2019re doing?\u201d The man smiled and said: \u201cI have the best job I could dream of\u201d. \u201cAnd what is it that you do?\u201d the reporter asked. \u201cI\u2019m 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\u2019s talents are nurtured and their future is decided. Sometimes I build houses, where mothers keep their babies warm.\u201d \u201cYes, but what is it that you do, exactly?\u201d asked the reporter. \u201cOh. I lay bricks. I\u2019m a bricklayer.\u201d the man said.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s 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!
