One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

working with artisans in burkina ; speaking in schools with young students

Teach, Learn, Share

It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?”

Good Question. If you are interested I can show you where I work in Karpala?
