We had a great group of volunteers our first night in Seattle! Myself and my crew want to thank each and every one of them! Ocean and Arlene Williams are DATA volunteers that work with regional coordinator Tersita, while the rest of the crew: Brad Stave, David Carothers, Penny Gruener, Emily Gackle and Amanda Carlson are affiliated with World Vision, an organization that is a part of the ONE Campaign. World Vision (http://www.worldvision.org/) is a Christian relief and development organization dedicated to helping children and their communities worldwide reach their full potential by tackling the causes of poverty. During the 4.24 Seattle show, Bono mentioned a few special people being in the audience, one of whom was World Vision's Steve Reynolds, of whom he has said in the past "Honestly, there is no chance that I would be doing this stuff if he hadn't asked me to make a journey that changed my life forever" (http://www.worldvision.org.uk/worldviewarchive/worldview45.html). Bono also thanked Bill and Melinda Gates for their continued support of the One Campaign.
