Entry: Jonathan Atwood, Kraft Foods
Now that I am resettled here in Chicago after our European / West Africa trip, I have had ample time to reflect on our trip together and I sit here today still in somewhat of state of shock. The trip to Ghana is one of the highlights of my career at Kraft and that is largely due to your incredible planning and exceptional skills. I had a brilliant time throughout the tour, met and conversed with some incredible people and saw a lot of a country that is so full of hope and optimism, but obviously not without challenges.
I must admit - I have found myself choked up a number of times when I think about Ghana and its wonderful people. I am so proud of the industry efforts to help the people and that story did not come fully alive for me until I was able to make the visit.
Bill and Tracey, please accept my sincere thanks for looking out for me, for creating a trip so full of memories and for your patience. I will of course strongly recommend to others at Kraft that they join the the next trip that the WCF puts on so that they can experience what I have.
Thanks again.
