How it Started

In March of 2014 it dawned on me that:


  1.     I was uncomfortable about certain conditions in the world,
  2.     My 8 year-old granddaughter Liel also had concerns about certain conditions in the world,
  3.     Maybe we could work together on a project of her choosing to make something better in this world.

I live in Ojai, CA. Liel lives in Valley Cottage, NY.

In late March I called, and asked Liel if she would like to work on a project with me. Got to admit, I expected a yes and I expected, given her life’s interest, that she would opt for improving conditions for bats throughout the world.

Right. She immediately said, "yes!" However, instead of an immediate answer about what to work on, she said she would give that some thought. A few days later she told me that she would like to work on caring for bats!

It was a GO!
