Here’s a great story…

Here’s a great story. You really do have to read the whole thing, but here’s the summary.

Five years ago, Ronnie Jordan was at the lowest point in his life.

The lifelong peanut farmer, faced with year after year of losses, finally gave up. A 41-year-old single dad, Jordan sold his equipment and decided on a new path in life.

He was going back to school. He wanted to study law.

But a trip to West Africa two years after he started at Virginia Wesleyan College changed all that.

Now, he’s the founder of ROTA International – Reach Out To Africa – a company that specializes in organic cashew nuts grown by a network of small farmers in the tiny country of Guinea-Bissau , one of the world’s poorest nations.

Instead of hooking into the welfare state, Jordon picked himself up, went in one direction to make a new life for himself and his family, and wound up going in a completely unexpected direction, bringing prosperity to a war-torn African country.
