Goodevening, dearest friend!

How have you been doing? I hope you have been great? Since my exams finished, my heart have left my mouth, but my mouth is still open until I see the results. As an Idan, I know the results would be good.

Nevertheless, I have been spending time on the internet, catching up on stories that I have missed when I was swamped in exams, and while I was online, I followed the guy that broke the Guinness World Record for the longest time playing chess. Tunde attempted and broke the GWR. He planned to play chess non-stop for 58 hours, but decided to make it 60 hours at the Times Square in United States. This particular action by Tunde has got me thinking about doing big things from a small place and making global impact. Playing chess for 60hrs noon-stop is a huge feat. Chess is an intellectual game. Congrats to Tunde!!!

Since I became inspired by Tunde’s win, I have been put in situations that make me realize that I'm not as small as I may think. I am big on using tech for community impact, and I've been putting my work where my mouth is, and recently it has been paying off by randomly meeting people that I've inspired one way or the other. 

I'm sure you've had your own impact on your friends, family and the wider world this year, so I'd give you a means to do more. These are exchange opportunities that you could work with. As we have told you before, exchange gives you the opportunity to make impact around the world, and touching lives. Jump on this opportunity and if you have questions, Ijeoma is always at hand to answer.

Make that move today. Your small environment should not stop you from making global impact. We are rooting for you.

Have a wonderful week ahead, and don't forget to respond to this newsletter, we would love to read your responses.

See ya next week,
