It’s the 10th and final day of and today’s theme is “Risk/Reward”. We recently did our first live television broadcast to kick off Na Leo TV’s inaugural fundraiser marathon. It was just a bit nerve-wracking, but a great experience and opportunity!

The theme for day 4 of was a tough one for us - how about 2 photos from a favorite, “Shunpuu” which was generously release by Kodo for their One Earth Music program.
