Maybe that's why so many people in Africa have lives filled with such joy, hope, love. Maybe that's why their stories are so great. The thought gives me such hope for the nations of Africa!

Thanks for putting a voice to it... I love that his first bike was given to him by his "uncle Emmanuel".... that's not just coincidence. He's funny too... "he's girlfriend is his bike" as he says... that's a nice set of wheels... What's he ride anyway... hmmm...

I agree with Melissa, the best and worst stories seem to come out of Africa. Is it coincidence that the most heartbreaking poverty and the happiest people on the planet are living on the same continent? It's reminding me of Rob Bell's Drops Like Stars thesis on the link between art and agony. I feel this paradox in my home playing Daddy to 3 baby girls: http://whosyourdaddydiary.blogspot.com/2008/07/glorious-humiliation.html Great story.

You absolutely can't beat Adrien's smile! Wow! (My life has been a cake walk compared to his...I seriously need to start smiling that big) I love that amidst the terrible tragedies he finds such joy in life..."his bike is his girlfriend, he loves country music, and Spiderman is his favorite movie." :) Project Rwanda looks absolutely incredible! You and your cycling stories...a whole new world to this TX'n. Went to the attached links. You absolutely can’t beat Adrien’s smile! Wow!

A great follow up to the self-pity discussion. Perspective is powerful. I shall read more about all of the guys mentioned. But, right now, I'm trying to get through this new book I got at Borders the other night. Went for Susan Isaacs', but it was too pricey, and I found this bargain book, "Through scribbled deserts or through painted windows" or something like that. It's a bit of a drag, but when I finish it, I will definitely look up these guys. :) (totally kidding...it wasn't a bargain book...paid way to much.) I am kidding, and I'm very much enjoying the read. Thanks for sharing this story. A great follow up to the self-pity discussion.

We all can have amazing stories--yeah, yeah, yeah. Look at me, telling you, the expert on the matter. Maybe it's just me, but seriously, doesn't it seem like all the BEST stories come out of Africa?! This, like so many others, is remarkable! Team Rwanda all the way! I know the human story is awesome and all that. We all can have amazing stories–yeah, yeah, yeah.
