Hi, it's Mary.

Before we get started today, I want to plant a seed in your mind.

This week being Thanksgiving week, it feels appropriate to say just how thankful I am for

your support that makes our work possible.

This is one of those times of the year when we come to you to ask, if the work of world

is meaningful to you, would you be willing to make a gift of support?

We're going to be talking about building world's global desk.

We've got a big vision to live up to our name and cover the world.

We're excited to tell you about it and how you can help make that happen.

And by the way, if you've never given before to support world, well, one of our long-time

world movers has agreed to match dollar for dollar every first time gift that comes

in.

Now, that's for this week only.

Thanksgiving week and up to next Tuesday, a week from tomorrow, known as giving Tuesday.

So it's a limited time opportunity, but a great opportunity for first time world movers

to move us along twice as far.

Wng.org slash donate.

That's Wng.org slash donate.

Okay, enough set.

We've got work to do.

The world and everything in it is made possible by listeners like us.

My name is Nathan Thompson.
