volunteer peten

i've know matt peters for a while now, and i am continually impressed with his ability to get things done.
in malcome-gladwell-speak, he is smart enough, he has taken advantage of opportunities as they present themselves, and he has an excellent work ethic.
about 10 years ago, he went to the back country of guatamala with the peace corps. and when his term was up, he stayed on. in his small town, he has built a library, a school, and an ecological park; all with volunteer labor and volunteer donations.
and he has mondo marketing skills. his target market is people who want to make a difference in a third world country. he comes to the united states for about one week a year to do fundraising. here is an interview he did on a local tv station that is basically his fundraising pitch.
