“I was impressed by the thoughtfulness staff members bring to working alongside outstanding local partners. Additionally, at every stage of the delegation there were opportunities for respectful, authentic dialogue with community members. The delegation cemented in my mind that the organization’s unique approach embodies community driven development and cross-cultural learning at its very best.”
