After years of fractured conversations and visions that wake me in the night, today we achieved an important milestone for Wheel2Wheel – we held our 1st ever official team meeting. A 3 hour conference call with team members scattered across 4 different countries. What became apparent to me on this call was how awesome it …
Tonight I attended the ICM (International Care Ministries – www.caremin.com) annual Gala Banquet in Hong Kong. ICM has been doing great work in the Philippines for years and presents as perhaps the best organised small to medium-sized charity I’ve seen. The banquet was attended by 700 Hong Kong people – through a mixture of silent …
A key principle of the initiative was fleshed out today as Jessica Robertson and I talked about the types of charities Wheel2Wheel should shortlist for inclusion and the process for ultimate selection.

We were scheduled to receive a presentation from SOS regarding a corporate subscription service they provide for companies who have employees …

So today I commissioned Atomic Sushi (www.atomicsushi.tv) based in Hong Kong to produce our site and a logo. The reality is, you can’t really do anything these days without a website! This is …
