Start with Acknowledgement!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

One the most amazing things that I’ve noticed when I was in Uganda, was that those girls, students and teachers, although that they were doing an amazing job and creating unbelievable transformation, were not willing to acknowledge themselves for this work.
