Fabulous speech!! I remember your work from Onet and I am so glad to see you here. You made so many good points and I did find myself listening and looking while putting myself in the scenario. The last one was the one that got me the most.
ask them where they are

Relating that to what I do in trying to help the people in Uganda it becomes

how do I help the people?

ask them what they need?

Too often we try or want to help but it is what WE think others want or need. And often, it is the wrong help. We all need to ask what is needed before we just jump in.

This is something that I know is going to stick with me for years to come. Thank you so much.
