Former UT FeelGood President and Desmond Tutu!

Hello FGers,

This is Kristin Walter from FG World just signing in to share some FG news with you. Well, UT FeelGood's president of 2 years, Jason Walter, left this semester to do Semester At Sea. While he is no longer UT's FG president, he is still a hardcore FG advocate and is sort of evangalizing (for lack of a better word) for FG on the boat. I am happy to report that his FG sharing is paying off...he says he has already recruited a handful of new schools! But he is not only sharing FG with students, he has the unique opportunity of being on a boat with one of my favorite Nobel Peace Prize Laureates, Desmond Tutu. Read what he has to say about his experience thus far:

You will be happy to know that I sat down with Bishop Desmond Tutu this morning for about 10 minutes during breakfast before class. It was fantastic. He is the wisest, most endearing man of all time. He wanted to be a doctor when he was my age, but I am glad he chose the path he did. He was a highschool teacher for some time but moved on once the school he was teaching at began to be unjust (Something tells me what I just wrote didn't make sense, but the point is he constantly stands up for what he believes in and never waivers, not for money, not for job security, not for anything). I was the last in line the other night for an autographing by Desmond, but they ended up cutting it short so I didn't actually get to follow through with it. I am first in line though to get pictures taken with him Thursday night (I have the FeelGood jacket and material already ready to go).

Keep it up Jason and please send us a picture of you and Desmond when you get one.

Everyone else out there, have no fear, Sara Janne Aarsland has taken hold of the reigns as the new UT FeelGood President without missing a beat.

Have a happy Valentine's Day!

Peace,

Kristin
