“Spring Awakening” is Broadway’s most talked about new musical and the biggest Tony Award-winner in years. The eight-time Tony-winning Broadway show swept the 2007 Tony Awards winning eight out of its 11 nominations.

How many times have you shelled out money without ever really knowing what difference you’re making? This Sunday you can actually change a life of two young Kenyans I love by attending a special photography exhibit of mine titled, “Educating Jack and Milly: A Picture Perfect Beginning” at the Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach from 4 to 6 p.m. Photographs I took in western Kenya in August (you can view them here) will be on sale and 100% of the proceeds will go toward to send two young Kenyans, Jack Ombuya, 23, and Milly Osoyi, 19, to a university…
