Hero’s Welcome

We’re inspired by all of our Heroes, so we’re thrilled when they strike a chord with our readers as well.

Steve Haas wrote in to say, “Prosper is the real deal!” and Naomi Kamau seconded the notion: “Here in Kenya, [Prosper is] welcome, and personally I am ready to support [him] in any way I can.” Nancy Y.
