A Letter from Munjo
This project was created in the spirit of new life.
Abandoned and dirty, out of hope and out of time.
In a moment of empathy, eventually saved,
dropped at a strange doorstep, with the littlest of faith.
Over time, it sinks in... now, I'm home.
And now I want to give back to stories like my own.
Give creative ideas a place to call home.
Where someone might see them, and make them their own.
Help artists make art, give life to ideas
and give the people a chance to own one of their own.
For as long as we're here, pursue something you love.
Do fun things. Make awesome stuff.
Create an environment to inspire and create.
Where you find a creative will, help find a creative way.
Dictated but not read,
-Munjo
