New Yorker article

I highly recommend a story in the Dec 21st issue of The New Yorker, an article titled "The Monkey and The Fish: Can Greg Carr Save the African ecosystem?" It tells the story of Greg Carr, a guy who made a couple of hundred milllion dollars developing and marketing voice mail and Internet services and then about ten years ago, instead of continuing to make money or just quitting and goofing off, he decided to become a hand on philathropist and after a couple of abortive efforts ends up in Gorongosa National Park in Central Mozambique trying to save the park. What intrigues me is that is the fact that this guy can do anything he wants and is out there trying to do some good and actually living rather uncomfortably for a good part of the year in the process. But it is a sense of purpose that drives him. This is what we all need, regardless of our income levels, and I guess it is what I am still looking for. Here's the link
