Zayin Cabot turns 40 on Christmas Day. 

He is a man loved by many and cherished for the work, service and vision he brings to the world. 

Help me thank and celebrate him by making his dream to reach African soil come true. All of you know he took an oath to become an elder for the Dagara community, and yet he has yet to step foot in Dagara land. 

Zayin gives from a place of heart and passion and I want him to experience the same. My little family can't send him to Burkina Faso on our own, so we are reaching out to you to reach a $3,500 goal. These funds will cover his flight to Burkina, travel costs within the country, and a donation to the village that has offered him inspiration and intiation from afar.

THIS IS A SURPRISE! So please don't mention it to him until after his birthday. I am hoping to present him a check on the night of his birthday on behalf of all of us. All of your names will be included in his card, regardless of your ability to donate or not. Just the fact that you are reading this means you are family in our heart. 

Any and all contributions are welcome - this is a community effort! And I promise you our community stands to gain tenfold as this journey stands to deepens his commitment to guiding others on their life path. 

Ashe.
