- November 22nd Facebook post with gift for Matt
This news is almost a year old, but it is happy and uplifting and a reminder that we can make a difference in the lives of others.
You may remember that in 2023, Matt DiSero published The Fog Machine of War. The proceeds from this book were sent to a magic school in Bolivia.
Last year, Matt shared a post showing how the donation benefited the children.
From the January 31, 2024 Facebook post by Matt DiSero:
I wrote a book that many of you purchased, all the proceeds from which, in part helped kids who love magic get a scholarship to a magic school in Bolivia. Behold below the fruits of your generosity. Your reward is the look on these kids faces, watching them do what they're interested in and love. Didn't even take much huh? Pretty cool what can happen, with the power of community. A reminder perhaps of we can do if we work together, everyone helping a little bit. Its like what Wilton Knight told Micheal in the first episode of Knight Rider "One person can make a difference". Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Well done, all of you, and thanks. Lets see what else we can do down the road...
Well done Matt!
Let's all aim to do some good in 2025!
