+
+	  <p>We are excited to share our next story for our Faces of
+	    &os; Series.  This is a chance for us to spotlight
+	    different people who contribute to &os; and have received
+	    funding from us to work on development projects, run
+	    conferences, travel to conferences, and advocate for
+	    &os;.</p>
+
+	  <p>Let us introduce you to Thomas Abthorpe.  We helped him
+	    attend BSDCan 2009, 2011, and 2012 by helping with his
+	    travel expenses.  Read his story <a
+	      href="http://freebsdfoundation.blogspot.com/2013/01/faces-of-freebsd-thomas-abthorpe.html">here.</a></p>
