UGA grad's nonprofit honors friend | ajc.com: "He'd always had a bent toward philanthropy, something his parents instilled in him, but in the summer of 2002, something in Gravesen changed. Something about suffering — even being witness to it — does that to a person.
The story began when Gravesen, fresh from an internship at Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong, took one more summer off from UGA to find himself.
At 19, he ended up in Kenya working for an information technology company, where he learned about a nearby orphanage for children with AIDS. Children had always held a special place in his heart, so Gravesen decided to visit. That's when Martin and the 79 other orphans made a deep impression. After their first day together, Martin had a question for the young man he called 'GG.'"
