How you see where you are always depends on where you've been.

What we really yearn for as human beings is to be visible.

People really don't want handouts, that they want to make their own decisions.

The only way we really create change is to enter any situation with the humility to listen and to recognize the world as it is, and then the audacity to dream what it could be, to have the patience to start and let the work teach you, to be willing to lead when you need to lead, and to listen. To have a sense of generosity and empathy, but not over-empathy, because accountability is so critical to building solutions that work.

Our actions - and inaction - touch people every day, people we may never know and never meet.

Poverty is too complex to be answered with a one-size-fits-all approach, and if there is any place that illustrates that complexity, as well as a better way forward, it is Rwanda.

You should focus on being more interested than interesting.
