Last month, GreenTown Project Manager Joah Bussert made a big move - from Greensburg to Denver. Joah had moved to Kansas from Chicago in the summer of 2009 as an AmeriCorps intern. He re-upped after his one year of service was concluded in order to continue his work overseeing the building of the Meadowlark House and contributing to other big projects for the organization.
Joah is an amazingly talented guy who brought a lot to his work in Greensburg. He is one of those people who can do pretty much whatever he puts his mind to. While we miss seeing him day-to-day, we are very grateful to have his continued support from Colorado. In addition to his affiliation with GreenTown, Joah will be also be working to obtain his licensure in architecture.
Given the challenges our country is dealing with, and the concerns that we all have, the willingness of individuals to give deeply of themselves and their lives, as Joah has in Greensburg and with GreenTown, is truly inspirational. We honor this level of selfless generosity and hold it out as an example of personal commitment and risk-taking for the good of the whole - something we can all feel really good about.
Greensburg GreenTown is a charitable nonprofit organization working in Greensburg, Kansas to rebuild the town following the devastating tornado in May of 2007.
